F1 Testing - 25th April
Posted: Wed Apr 26, 2006 12:47 amWoza has all the best photos of the cars, but until he's around here's my random collection of nonsense from today's day out...
One for Torrekens...
When we arrived the stands were busier than normal. Obviously Bernie had lowered the prices. If you look carefully you can all seven remaining members of the BRDC, turning up to vote for Damon Hill at their next election
.... yawn... and here's the close battle for the lead..
'It's a, it's a, it's a.... erm.. McLaren?.. Erm, no. Er...No! I know this! It's a Honda! Er.. I think. Erm.. nope, maybe not. Must be...er...look shut up, I can get this, right! OK, I'm thinking! I can get this, you know! Er....Oh! I know - it's that new mob... Snooper Puri! What d'you mean that's not their name? Oh, it's Super Aguri, is it? Well, I never.'
'Ahhh! I know! It's a Williams! You can just make out the wheelchair!'
'Hah! Look at this sign above, lads. Anyone know what 'oxymoron' means?'
It's a little-known fact that parts of the media centre are let out as tiny Japanese hotel rooms for the Super Aguri team. Look above the garage and you'll see that, despite the noise, one guest still has the curtains drawn
Renault F1 employees become agitated when the queue for the burger bar becomes unexpectedly long at lunchtime...
Woza tries to look at the car next to him with his fancy new binoculars...
Damn! Why is it that every time I want to take a picture of a Citroen something else gets in the way?...
Nice to see someone else join the party. Chatted to him before I left. Upgraded this. Upgraded that. Very European, and unfortunately didn't manage to upgrade his English in the process. Still, nice to have a friendly chat anyway. See! There's only animosity between the marques when you allow it
...and in a packed car park a stranger turns up and parks next to us. A WR1 newbie! He didn't know about the site, so let's hope to see him on here soon

only downside was being stuck in a traffic jam on the m1, 3 hours to do 5 miles
