You might get wet, if you don’t mind!

Been here for a month now and it has only rained once so far.
That could be either a bad or a good sign, I suppose.
The sky over Shanghai has been very clear that last few days also.
Again, that could either be a good or bad sign, as it may hold, or it may have been saving up a huge downpour!!

All we need is to splice her with Ted Kravitz and we’d have the ultimate pit lane reporter, brains and beauty!

Can’t get much more of a contrast than between the two Vettel pics right at the top.

Or rather, this is the face is Mark wins, and this is the face if I win… ;-)

Pirelli have changed the markings again… Logo’s are now yellow on the option as well..
Fixy (@fixy) said on 14th April 2011, 16:08
They’re yellow only on the option, and silver on the prime.

See the programme for an explanation on the tyres:

um i’m pretty sure the stripes are white, not silver http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/redb_shan_2011.jpg
which would suggest that the gold stripes have simply been replaced with white.
The Last Pope said on 14th April 2011, 23:32
They look silver to me. Makes sense aswell, Pirelli were running out of gold because they didn’t plan on using so much. To make sure they didn’t end up in having not enough paint to do all the lettering, they have switched to the silver prime paint for the outline of some of the option tires. It equalls out the paint usage of the two colours.
Rob Wilson (@rob-wilson) said on 14th April 2011, 15:56
White stripes on the softer compound tyre? Much better :) Right just keep it like that now pirelli, jobs a good’n.
Fixy (@fixy) said on 14th April 2011, 16:10
Actually, thy’re not bad at all! Better than the gold becuase gold and yellow don’t match too well.
The Last Pope said on 14th April 2011, 23:34
I thought they were the same colour? Maybe its my TV?
Fixy (@fixy) said on 15th April 2011, 13:54
It’s from tomorrow, not last race!

Someone didn’t floss, look at the green stuff in between his teeth.

hehe shame. He’s only human.
Zadak (@thezadak) said on 14th April 2011, 16:57
hope they weren’t mistaking Mark Webber for Micheal Schumacher there, getting him to sign all that stuff.
Tango said on 14th April 2011, 17:00
[Bad humour] Oh, these folks all look the same to me [Bad humour/]
It’s weird that he would actually sign it AND be quite positive about it. I believe it would be different had it been a Seb Vettel picture!
Fixy (@fixy) said on 14th April 2011, 20:51
They are all fans of other drivers! German flag, Michael Schumacher, Spanish flag, Force India…
