Sure Shot

I'm going to do a photo blog today, I told Pauline on the way to the track, unless there's any stories we don't know about.
Let me just check with the teams, she requested.
Nope, nothing going on here, Angelina noted, along with everyone else. And so it began. 

It was early morning, the race was a long way away. Trident were relaxing, and keeping out of the sun. 

It was early morning, the race was a long way away. Trident were relaxing, and keeping out of the sun. 

And before long it was lunchtime, ahead of F1 qualy. 

But then, this happened.

The rain lasted for about an hour, and then disappeared as quickly as it arrived. Our timetable was thrown out because of the support race up the hill, but eventually it was our turn to get ready.

Up to the pitlane, and there wasn't time to sit around.

The teams pushed their tyre trolleys out to the grid, and we all waited for the drivers to arrive.

Tyre strategy is always important, but on a circuit where overtaking is at a premium, it's crucial. There were a few last minute changes, just to confuse the opposition.

And a few teams had a bit more serious work to do, and not much time to do it.

But Jimmy only had one thing on his mind.

Time for the warm up lap, and then the Feature Race.

After the race most of the teams just packed up and went back to the paddock.

But a few had something to celebrate.

While the other drivers just headed back.

But work's not finished: there's always more photos, and the press conference.
