Montreal 2016!!!

Post by Jeep »

It's Thursday, so it must be "Open House Day!!!! 8)

Ok first off, the weather sucked. Here's hoping it gets better for the next three days! (If not, spare a thought for me in the rain at Île Notre-Dame!)

The podium is ready, as always. I rather like the backdrop. Too bad it'll be covered up for the podium ceremony...

Image

That never changes...

Image

Life is good at the very sharp end of the pits...

Image

I asked the guy "What? No Ultra-Softs this year???" He just laughed...

Image

Believe it or not, Red Bull still have a lollipop as a fall-back solution!!!!!!!

Image

Here's hoping the guys in Yellow will get some fuel before the race!!!

Image

Sauber are soldiering on...

Image

Meanwhile, at the formerly sharp end of the pits...

Image

The new guys are in town (and they brought their very own bus shelter)!

Image

Slightly closer look at the front end of the Mercedes...

Image

...and of the Ferrari...

Image

Fingers crossed at Williams (which doesn't help with the work, I guess)...

Image

Complex front break air intake at Force India...

Image

Opposite side...

Image

Tight quarters at Renault...

Image

"But I'm sure that's where I dropped my contact lens!!!!"

Image

McLaren doing its best...

Image

Front brakes on the MP4-31...

Image

...on the MRT05...

Image

...and on the VF-16.

Image

Tight quarters on the C35, too!

Image

Front brakes at Toro Rosso.

Image

Another peek at the Renault...

Image

Bold logo at the end of the air gun poles!

Image

A last look at the Prancing Horse for today...

Image

Could this be the C36????? Or is Ericsson not taking any more chances with passing his teammate?

Image

Whatever the case may be at Sauber, after Monaco, Red Bull are taking no chances with tire placement/storage!!!!

Image

The Williams track-side Command Center is ready!

Image

Close-up of the Renault front wing for this weekend.

Image

The Scrutineering Bay, immaculate as always...

Image

(Cue the theme from Jaws...) The Wall of Champions is ready to welcome the unwary!

Image

More after free practice tomorrow.

Hi Jeep,

Thanks for the pics from Canada.

I liked the new Sauber ;-) at least that one won't break easy if hit another car :-D

Enjoy the weekend!

Amazing pics. Thanks for the pics. The brake assembly on F1 cars is a work of art.....as is with many other components...The front rotors looks so delicate for what it does.
