Grand Prix 2011: A day at the Races











Mike, Marc and Mike's boss braved the weather on Sunday to watch the Grand Prix. Great fun and great hospitality at Mike and Patty's as always. Thank you.

Grand Prix 2011: Start















The race was declared wet and started behind the safety car this year as the track was wet. Not as dramatic a start as some years but it turned out to be a great race. In the first corner Hamilton bumps Webber sending him in the opposite direction.

Grand Prix 2011: Hamilton Out









Hamilton completed fewer laps than the safety car this year, breaking his suspension early in the race after bumping Button after the last corner.

Grand Prix 2011: Rain Delay















The sky opened up and the rain stopped the race for 2h. All we could do was sit and wait and enjoy a beer or two and watch the rain come down.
