Silverstone Testing Thread

[blakebeatty]

If that Toyota's fastest time only meant something...

It may perhaps have meant that there is a glitch in the telemetry systems of the FIA

Here's some of mine from today

Oh, and thanks to the inconsiderate f**k in a red Rover hatchback who opened his car door and let it swing straight into mine, and left a bloody great mark.

Funny enough, now it's Trulli's turn to clock the fastest time:

1. Trulli Toyota (B) 1:21.420 48
2. Raikkonen Ferrari (B) 1:21.548 62
3. Wurz Williams-Toyota (B) 1:21.904 64
4. de la Rosa McLaren-Mercedes (B) 1:22.018 58
5. Kovalainen Renault (B) 1:22.119 53
6. Liuzzi Toro Rosso-Ferrari (B) 1:22.365 52
7. Webber Red Bull-Renault (B) 1:22.447 33
8. Glock BMW-Sauber (B) 1:22.481 84
9. Sutil Spyker-Ferrari (B) 1:23.284 72

C'mon Yota, please prove that you indeed have become more competitive than you have been so far this season.

Just got back.

Cracking day. Got to say having previously paid £99, £149, £159 I was happy to part with a tenner today. Rained about twice, bunch of ****** wouldnt come back out until track dried up, having said that I think Heikki came out on wets for a couple of laps but that was it. Thought Kimi had dissapeared off to the beer tent near the end, but he popped in a few laps (after the checquerd flag had been shown) Hopefully got a few good snaps and a few mins of Video. Need a drink now to wind down.

All who have been or are going tomorrow, we recon the BMW is the loudest, agree/disagree

Went to the test today - here's a few pics. Had some big time camera issues today and I am NOT happy with any of my results from the EOS 30D (ie. most of these!), but that's another matter altogether.

okey dokey, the pics are getting better and closer

[MrPonx]

Did Kimi speak to the press after the tests? what does he think of the new aerodynamics?

[GridGirl]

Whats wrong with the pics Daniel?

My other half has a 30D, the spoon just spent £1200 on a new lens for it last week and we're getting cracking pictures. Just interested to know as we'll be using it for the first time to take pics of F1 cars at the GP in a couple of weeks. We had a 300D at last years GP and got good pictures, and we've always got good rally photos from the 30D.

I got a Sony Erricsson camera phone, does that count?

I have to say that I recon there was more money's worth of camera gear at Silverstone yerterday than F! cars.
Every other person had a huge lens in one hand, and a tripod in the other. The rest of us had £99 digital cameras and phones, bet our pictures are better, well maybe.
