oh yeah, out of all the f1 photographers I saw on the weekend, there was only one shooting film, and that was Darren Heath (shoots for F1 racing)

Schumi getting lost in the Toyota garage

Hi,

That was a classic :D

Whats funny is that no-one in the Toyota garage seems to either notice or care that Shumi is wandering around in there :D

Cheers

I kind of wonder if he was a bit disoriented from the hit, it was a fairly solid thump.
(the first hit on the wall was where I was standing)

That was my first thought too - a thump like that has to have an effect! He just didn't seem like himself for the entire day actually.:confused::confused:

WOOOO! Just got a message while I was sitting on the throne to say I had a present on my door step! Went out and checked...

A huge poster of the Toro Rosso car signed by the team! My old house mate works at an exclusive establishement where the team stayed in St Kilda, apparantly they didnt want to take too much home, so they gave it to staff - from shoes, hats, team shirts, everything.

My mate does night shift there on the weekends and by the time he got there, it was pretty well all gone... he got a few slabs of red bull and a poster (for me!). Sweet!

Best looking car on the grid IMHO!

Todd

P.s - no Michelin hands :( :D

Gotta admit the Torro Rosso cars are pretty awesome looking.. better than the Red Bull ones :).

I can see the poster now... "Get F#$ked, Love Scott Speed"

Silly silly boy passing on the yellows...

I heard from a few people over the weekend that he has a massively oversized ego.
unusual for a yank :) :)

Scott Speed's signature is really ghey - obviously a lefty.

I have a last name SPEED that means I AM FAST!!!!

I've always said I could very easily see him in an Indy car... seems his ego/name would be of better use there :)

I'm pretty sure he raced INDY prior to F1.

Apr 4th, 2006, 10:01 AM
Nah, I was wrong... just checked him out on his site scottspeed.com and he raced GP2, Formula Renault, karts, etc.

I'm still pretty sure he raced either indy or IRL.

edit: checked wikipedia, not mention of it.

double edit: I'm thinking of Lake Speed who raced in NASCAR.

Techy question time...

Anyone know what this thing is?! (circled in the full pic)

I thought it may have been a timing thing, but thats out as they dont always run them - aero maybe - but then if it is aero adjustment, you'd think it would be fixable on either side of the car...?


If its of any use;

Neither McLaren had one fitted in Bahrain
In Malaysia, JPM had one fitted, Kimi didn't.
In Melbourne, both JPM and Kimi had one fitted.

Its fixed to the nose by three holes and those fixing points are only present on that side of the car.


A gold star for anyone who knows?! :p
