McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton confident he has the technical know-how to go with his incomparable speed (Daily Telegraph)[3]
?Since I?ve been at McLaren[4] no other guy has spent as much time as me in the wind tunnel. Every moment I get, every chance I get, on my way to or from the lunch canteen, or when I?m going to the toilet, whenever I get a second, I have a quick look in.?
Hospitality sales at Formula 1 are in the red again (Daily Mail)[5]
?Despite the addition of new races in Canada and South Korea, revenues stalled as sponsors cut spending on corporate hospitality. F1 is majority owned by private equity firm CVC and the accounts reveal that it has racked up a combined $200 million loss since it was acquired in 2006.?

Comment of the day
Some extra tips of taking pictures at F1 races from Ol Peculier[9]:
Just to point out there are places that will do equipment hire, as pointed out anything less than a 300 isn?t goint to get you close enough. The downside is by their very nature they are heavy, and cumbersome (I almost knocked somebody out with a Canon 600 F4 once?) and best taken as carry on rather than in the hold if you are flying.
I?d also recommend practicing on your metering, I was taught ?off the grass and + 2/3rds of a stop? but depends on your gear and environment.
And when you are home, study the EXIF data for the images that worked, and those that didn?t to get an idea of what part of the triangle you miscalculated
