A group of Chelsea Pensioners arrived. Dressed in Ferrari scarlet. I asked them why they were supporting Ferrari? I got a jolly abusive retort lol.

Nothing is left to chance or skimped. This chap is marking out the stop point for the car, down to the mm.

Even the safety cars are sexy. Provided by Aston Martin.

Pirelli bring two lorry loads of tyres. 3 grades of slicks from a range of 5 based on the track shape, surface and expected temperature. They bring two tyres for the wet known as intermediate for damp and light rain and full wet for serious rain and/or standing water. F1 does not stop in the wet like cricket and Indi cars :)

The process was interesting. The teams take it in turn to take their wheel rims to the Pirelli garage. Pirelli fit the tyres and balance the wheels. The tyres then go back to a holding areas in the paddock behind the respective pits where they are marked up in sets. I don't know what happens to the old tyres. I will find out,

Yes. Everybody so obviously loves what they are doing whatever it is.

Fascinating pictures Tank. Especially fascinating for "petrol heads" like a few of us here. Wall to wall big money is in conspicuous evidence there.

What is the purpose of the tiny little fenders/mudguards above the front wheels?  They appear on other cars as well. They will cause some aero drag so they must be a worthwhile tradeoff.

Air flow control as far as I know. But I couldn't say with any certainty.
