Today I was called down to Silverstone to shoot the final shake down test prior to the 2007 F1 season. Due to testing restrictions, teams (Just Spyker and McLaren) were only allowed to drive 50km today, thus pit stop practice and launch control system tests were the order of the day. The longest run a single car did was 3 laps!
I was impressed to see Lewis Hamilton in the McLaren, but no doubt they're keen to get as many miles under his belt before his baptism of fire!
Not particularly happy with the results, but not shot motorsport since last September and with a ridiculously limited opportunities, I didn't get a chance to back into practice, that's my excuse anyway! However, all comments welcome!
NB. The reds on the McLaren look alright on my laptop, but horrific and blown out on the PC, how do they look to you guys?
Hamilton powers out of the pit box and into the sun after yet another practice stop!
Hamilton powers down the pit lane.
Winkelhock charges down the pitlane.
Up, close and personnel with the latest Brit in F1.
A rare chance to see an F1 car at speed today.
Anyone claustrophobic?
