some rare F1 pictures

[razteo]

Here are some pictures a friend of mine took a couple of months ago in Milan, at the Formula 1 race.

He is very well connected and he managed to go into the Ferrari pit during the race, right when the car came in for fuelling, tires, etc - where no photographers, journalists or civilians are allowed.

Here are some of the pictures he took in the few seconds the car was stopped at the pit.
I can feel the adrenaline rushing just looking at those pictures..

SWEET!!! My dad used to race Formula One (along with several other types of cars). Not pro, but he was very good at it.
(I am genetically an adrenaline junkie!!) :thumbup:

Very nice. It's good to know that at that level of racing the infamous "crack" is fully covered (in picture 2) -- very professional.

I took these when i went to the Hockenheimring in Germany 2006, Michael Schumacher's final German race. The crowed poured onto the track to the pit lane after he won the race! It was a great experience.

Those "cars" (if you can call them that) are friggen diesel! They look like they're designed to fly. Man, what I would do to sit behind the wheel of one of these beasts.
