Off to Silverstone for the F1 Test Day today so, as always, the first port of call is the local petrol station where a mini-me 'Bob 'owler' lurks within the nozzle-holster-thingy and watches the world with it's several eyes. Ooo-er.
Thank goodness it wasn't a full-sizer!
No rush to get here today. We don't arrive until midday-ish. Very relaxing.
This is Jules Bianchi in the Marussia at Club Corner.
All today's action shots are from around Club Corner as that is the only section of track open to the public. So no cars going left to right!
Something tells us that it must have been quite windy during the GP.

Everybody's (well, he's ours) all-time favourite Red Bull driver, Daniel Ricciardo. Apart from Mark Webber, that is. Who's even more favourite!
Plenty of stuff from the GP to be dismantled and taken away yet.
Sergio Perez with one of those funny things on the top of the Force India wot tells you he is definitely testing something or other which will definitely/undoubtedly/possibly/hopefully/with a bit of luck make his car go much quicker in the next race (oh yes).
Stoffel Vandoorne burbles past The Wing in the McLaren.
It's 4:15pm now and the Pit Lane Walk starts at 5 (and finishes at 6). Better go and join the queue immediately if not sooner. We Brits love to queue y'know.
The queue is……um………fairly long so every British person in it is well-happy. It goes all the way up the straight, around and across Abbey and then back down into The Wing. We don't get into the actual pit lane until 5:20. Having said that, the Pit Walk stays open well-past 6 o'clock so nobody leaves disappointed.

No way must we call this an engine. No way.

Howard exploring the track limits…………
……………….and making a new friend on the Finish Line just before that Ray Steward-fella tells 'em to 'c'mon, move on, nothing to see 'ere'.
This is what awaits those who can't respect the limit of the track limits.
Quarter-to-seven and time to go home. The forecast said to expect rain between 4 and 6 but it was lovely all day. It looks like it might rain now tho' (it didn't).
