2011 Belgian Grand Prix practice in pictures
F1 pictures
A typically rainy Spa-Francorchamps may be hard work for the drivers but it certainly produces some spectacular photographs.
Michael Schumacher marked the 20th anniversary of his first F1 start with a special gold helmet.
Here are pictures from practice at Spa.

Was Lewis Hamilton too quick for the photographer today? Just saying.
Keith Collantine (@keithcollantine) said on 26th August 2011, 17:38
What’s your point? There’s four pictures of him up at the moment.
ops30 said on 26th August 2011, 19:28
…so tell me, how much $ do you donate to F1F per month that allows you to complain about the pictures?
Luis said on 26th August 2011, 17:36
I just noticed now that Felipe changed a bit the design of his helmet, but it happened befe this season.

I think I like the old one better.
Journeyer (@journeyer) said on 26th August 2011, 21:20
I like the new one better, if only because it fits the Marlboro logo better, although the old one is closer to his traditional design.

The dark picture down of Alguersuari is brilliant. I love photos in the wet, especially with all the spray coming off the cars, its just awesome to look at.

Ferrari is running a bigger rear wing compared to others. Is that why they are quick in S2 and S3 and slow in S1 ?
Gill said on 26th August 2011, 18:27
Wats with Williams rear wing. it looks massive
James_mc (@james_mc) said on 26th August 2011, 19:57
Interesting, not seen the “W” shaped rear wing since last year’s Renault. I wonder why it never really caught on amongst other teams. I think it was problematic to have the W-wing and the F-duct on last year’s Renault, but I was surprised not to see it more commonly used.

Did anyone else notice the Team Loftus on the side of the Team Lotus Caterams
Indranil Dudhane (@indranildudhane) said on 26th August 2011, 21:00
Some more pictures of Schumacher please!
ukk (@ukk) said on 26th August 2011, 21:36
Hey, did you notice the side of Trulli’s car?
It says:
- Team LoFtus -
Any idea why?

Because Tony Fernandes has bought QPR (Queens Park Rangers) and their football ground is called Loftus Road
Fixy (@fixy) said on 28th August 2011, 20:05
Well, it looks silly to me.
mzs16 (@mzs16) said on 26th August 2011, 21:51
Oh, that must be because Tony Fernandes just bought QPR, whose home stadium is Loftus Road… nice!
mzs16 (@mzs16) said on 26th August 2011, 21:52
I knew someone would beat me to it :)
SoLiDG (@solidg) said on 26th August 2011, 22:31
I had a special surprise today. Last night on twitter D’ambrosio gave away 2x2paddock passes for friday who could answer a Q and I won :D
So i been in the paddock club today. It was awesome.

If it’s not ok to put the link here just delete it Keith!
If you want to use some pictures for F1F feel free to do so!
There are some nice ones if I may say so myself :)
(also not much Hamilton and I’m a fan.. he wasn’t out that much :) )
AndrewTanner (@andrewtanner) said on 26th August 2011, 23:55
I like Schumacher’s helmet! It doesn’t suit his car so well as the red but it’s certainly very nice.
Fixy (@fixy) said on 28th August 2011, 20:06
In the race they added a red stripe on the airbox to distinguish him furtherly from Rosberg. The helmet is very nice!
RumFRESH (@rumfresh) said on 27th August 2011, 5:02
That first shot of Kamui Kobayashi’s Sauber is brilliant. Love those rooster tails coming out the back there.
Fixy (@fixy) said on 28th August 2011, 20:08
New nose for Toro Rosso.
