Following a quite eventful Saturday final practice/qualifying we arrived in the circuit to see the start of the Ferrari Challenge race
One driver - name on car F. H. ONDA, pulled out of the race on the first lap next to where we were standing and in the process of reversing into the safe area promptly reversed into the marshal's post
Hope you can the pics/vids OK, as I am falling asleep waiting for images to load
The rather well-fed driver seemed unconcerned - probably thinking of a good excuse for his money back towards the next drive
Moved to our afternoon spot in the shade to see the GP2 race - with some good action
Aussie fans were out in force
And soaking up some of the atmosphere
Maclaren and Red Bull guys getting ready for the main event
Drivers parade - a little different from the usual flat-beds andat least Lewis's chariot got him back to the start OK
And onto the main event - usual quart into a pint pot at the ffirst turn with carbon fibre flying - thankfully all got round
And yes, from our vantage it was a bit of a procession after that until the safety car wanted a go - this was the position just before with JB catching One Finger, but after that it seemed JB had no more in the tank to offer a meaningdful challenge but at least Maclaren got a podium as consolation
