Had a couple of rain showers but on the whole the weather wasnt too bad at all, even got a little sun burn on my face . Will be going again tomorrow but there are a handful of todays pics.

Headed paddock side and shot from the exit of Bridge corner. \/ \/ \/

Was thinking exactly the same... can't see it being very practical when changing the wheel in under 8 seconds

Its not free this year, they have introduced charges, I think its £10 or £15 now to get in. I'm a member of Silverstone Racing Club so didnt have to pay, plus it also allows me paddock access after 1 PM.

As for the camera, its a Nikon D70s with a standard Nikon 70-300 lens.

I'm an Aerodynamicist, though factory based as opposed to track based. Don't usually go to the tests but seeing as this one is so close to "home" so to speak...

I went earlier in the year, met Lewis before he'd ever got behind the wheel of the McLaren. I was with Super Aguri though, have season testing pass
