...we must have been a good omen because Mitch Evans won today!! We were cheating him on...

Mitch Evans is one name I hope of hearing more in future years, He is one young fast Kiwi.

[racechick]

Yeah he was impressive!!.

NOW!! TODAY!! so much drama and so many nice men! Where to start. Only just got back form the track because there were massive queues to leave the car park and then we got off the motorway too soon and we got lost in Manheim. We found the best nice man ever at a garage and he actually drove his car for us to follow to where we should be.

We went on the track after the race, but we had to track invade to get on. We had to lie flat and roll under the security fence then get over a concrete wall, then over the tyre barricade, it was hard! Bit too late to get to the podium but got some good pics of parce ferme and another one for the collection of me lying on the track . Then we decided , well i decided, that we should go round the back of the garages and see if we could find Lewis. Nasty security man( they weren't all nice men today!). Wouldn't let me in the bit behind the garages, even with lots of pleading, so we just went and found a nicer man who let us in. We found the Merc garage and a Merc man loading things over a big Mesh fence that you couldn't see through unless you looked really closely. So I asked him if we could see Lewis to congratulate him, ' Lewis isn't in a good mood, he said. "I'll cheer him up" I said. Then he said "that's his race team over there, go and ask them" . They were behind the fence a bit further down. So we shouted through, "hello, any chance we can see Lewis to congratulate him" . They said he was in press conferences . Told them I had my special Union Jack bikini on in his honour. They went to look but couldn't find him but brought out some signed pics. I asked them to tell Lewis to follow me on twitter @racechikee, and one if his team , after a second or two said, "I'm following you now". So , so nearly met. Lewis but one step closer now, got one if his race team!

Loads of brilliant pics of today and I got another thumb up from Lewis on the parade lap, he came round in an old fashioned car and I was standing on my seat going mental and waving the flag. I got the thumb up. YES!!
Did anyone see the big Red Bull flag get rolled out over the grandstand on the warm up lap? If you did, that was our grandstand and we were at the top left of the big red bull flag as you looked at it. And we were waving our little Hamilton Union Jack over the top.
More later and pics to follow. Off to check twitter now then food and wine!!

Great report Racechick! I can feel your excitement reading it!

[LewEngBridewell]

Did you find it was a bit of a better atmosphere/grandstand attendance on Sunday, RC? It looked so, on the TV.

[racechick]

Yes it was, much better atmosphere today and everyone very friendly, except a walrus man who was sitting in front of us and kept turning round and giving me dirty looks when I screamed and clapped everytime Lewis overtook ANOTHER car

It was such an exciting day Zurich Allen!

Totally agree!!

[racechick]

I ve seen my pics, there's some good ones. I'm currently uploading to photobucket, takes ages. I'm off to France early to morrow , may not get time to post today but will do so over the next week. One question, when I post them do I have to shrinks them? Scotty git cross with me once for not shrinking them but it takes ages. But I can do it now I have a good app.
And I have one more drama story to tell you, about the airport.

[What's Burning?]

You do know that there's no French GP this weekend right?

[racechick]

yes I know. Will have to find a bar for GP or a streaming site.

French, Schmench, Schmungarian - all the same except for the choice between poivre and paprika

[racechick]

Ok. I have loads of good pictures of Joke heim to load up. Can I do them normal size? Or do I have to shrinks them? Tell me quick.

[stonemonkey]

try one and see, if they're too big though it'll slow down the page downloading when it's viewed

[LRW]

RC just load them. If people don't have decent enough machines or connections to deal with it, that's their lookout

[racechick]

I know that thing happens and I want to avoid it. I'll try one full size and if it does that thing I'll delete it and cut them all by half. Let me know what a normal one does. This is the first one. Its. Lewis in Sat morning practice.
