had an awesome day sitting at turns 1 & 2, even tho there were no crashes to speak of and only one side of my face is burnt
crazy weather tho, pouring one minute, sunny and clear the next, gale force winds after that.. pretty much circulated like that all day long, frucking Melb

nice pics!
got a question for those that attended; when F1 cars change gears, is there an almighty \'pop\' sounding similar to a gunshot? just curious as i was quite surprised by that sound the CART cars made which isnt ever picked up by television.
i hate webber. i hope he continues to do fuck all, then has to go somewhere like CART (which he looked down his nose at a while ago) coz he just cant cut it.

didnt notice any noise on the up shifts, but on the down shift.... guess it'd be the engine rather than the gear box though, but then again i dunno shit about the mechanical side of what goes on really to that kinda depth
:O
