Thanks for the hi-res pics

WOW, some really amazing pictures! thanks a lot!

In capitalist world, Hamilton passes Petrov. In Soviet Russia and Communist China, Petrov lets Hamilton pass.
pete said on 18th April 2010, 19:20
Poor form! It should go something like this:
In Soviet Russia, Grand Prix finishes YOU!
Xamanara said on 18th April 2010, 20:27
In capitalist world you watch Formula 1. In Soviet Russia Formula 1 is not watched.
Robbie said on 18th April 2010, 20:33
I don’t think you quite grasp it.
Xamanara said on 18th April 2010, 20:53
In Communist China (which has changed towards capitalism) Petrov gets prize money for points finish. In Soviet Russia, the prize money is taken away from the sportsman?

great pics.
i bet if it was hamilton who had jump started into the lead the media would instantly label him a ‘cheater’.
shame FOM missed a few crucial overtakes live, (like BUT passing VET)
slr said on 18th April 2010, 19:57
FOM are not very good at showing all the exicting parts of a race. I think that’s one reason why many thought Bahrain was boring.
pete said on 18th April 2010, 19:23
Is there a stat kept somewhere of the positions gained on track (eg through an overtake) and for what position?
I would be very interested in studying all the overtakes and in respect to their performance/position.
I’m guessing Hamilton is one of the top overtakers so far this season but many of those were over drivers and cars which he should have never been behind to begin with.

Notice that in McLaren’s team photo Hamilton is the only one not wearing an orange jersey ;-)
Xamanara said on 18th April 2010, 20:24
This jersey is stupid. I don’t wanna wear it. All of this is stupid. I’m going home!
fordsrule said on 19th April 2010, 6:43
Maybe because he had to see the stewards?
PeterG said on 19th April 2010, 10:17
What’s wrong with Orange ;-)
Maybe they only have 1 locker room and Button beat him to it (again) 8)

4 races… yet not one where all 24 cars start on the Grid. :(
I’m waiting for that so I can have a picture on my desktop. It looks wrong when there are cars missing.
Great pictures as always though!
JR said on 19th April 2010, 3:58
You must be new to F1. It is only wrong when Massa doesn’t win … or at least a Ferrari :)
slr said on 18th April 2010, 19:58
I like those trophies. They look cool.
meszkov said on 18th April 2010, 20:10
great pics but only one kubica :(
Robbie said on 18th April 2010, 20:32
I was hoping there’d be a shot of the Hamilton vs Schumacher battle.
silencer said on 19th April 2010, 7:45

I was hoping there would be more Senna ones, And Alonso in the gravel of course :D But still Great Pics.

I saw a picture of Webber hanging over de McLaren looking inside of the cockpit. Was that here? I cannot find it anymore.
fordsrule said on 21st April 2010, 5:36
