Thanks for the great shots! :D :D :D

Was I seeing evidence of some sloppy workmanship on the Williams? That would be a shame.

Cheers,
Greg

Very nice work Jeff, i did try to post from the iPad but it did not like it...As always excellent up close details and always great to see the small details we miss when just looking in the flesh.
Did you happen to see Lloyd floating around the Paddock Club? I have seen him posting a few pics of himself being special...

Thanks for the update with more details.

Cannot fathom how incredibly detailed and complex F1 cars are these years. Good detail with all those pink FIA stickers put in various places on the cars. Usually aero stuff I guess? Just compare with a Lotus 49 - a car most of us could build in the shed with the correct tools - and probably start it as well? These cars? Incredibly assembly of strange parts, dimples and holes here and there. There is a shot of a Force In... sorry Racing Point with a front wing where a hatch has been removed. A goldish 'thingie' with several clear tubes coming out of it. That part does exactly what...? :shock:

Thanks for the pics Jeff - they could come in handy if any of these cars appear as model.
