Only had tickets for the Friday this year (which I'm glad about given that Alonso won...) - here are some pictures.

There was also a cool camera on a wire at Luffield, which used to be the final corner until they changed the layout for this year.

They opened up the old track for us to wander onto:

And here's the new pit paddock:

Kobayashi made a mess of his Sauber in FP1:

Hamilton:

Button:

The safety car, which at this point of the season had led the second most amount of laps this year, after Vettel:

Moved to Luffield for FP2, and saw this GP2 driver getting a sneaky tow:

For a long time only the Toro Rossos were out:

And then more came out, including Rosberg, which produced a crisp photo:

I won a place at the FOTA fans forum, which the best thing I can describe is that it's like Comic Con but for F1 instead of TV and movies. It was worth the 4 hour drive. The place is really impressive - difficult to believe that it's a factory for building cars, everything was spotless. I got to sit in an MP4-12C! The panel gave interesting although at times generic answers. The drivers (Hamilton and Kobayashi) came across really well. Hamilton buggered off immediately though, while Kobayashi stayed behind for autographs and things, which was good of him.

We weren't allowed to take photos inside, so the only photos I managed are of the exterior of the building. I'd love to work there. They gave us a book as we were leaving too - it's £40 on their site!

There are videos of the event here:

Session 1: Martin Whitmash [McLaren], Ross Brawn [Mercedes], Graeme Lowden [Virgin Racing] and Bob Fearnley [Force India]


Session 2: Paddy Lowe [McLaren], James Allison [Renault], Paul Monaghan [Red Bull]


Session 3: Lewis Hamilton and Kamui Kobayashi

Was a good day out - I'd recommend it to any F1 fans if you get the chance to go to one!
