Day 84... on track

Today the F1 cars hit the track and I was sitting in the Jones stand at turn one to see all the action...
 The Sauber
 Team Lotus
 Red Bull - Sebastian Vettel (Current World Champion)
 Seven times World Champion, Michael Schumacher in the Mercedes... I love how you can see his helmet in the reflection of his mirror
 Force India
 Williams
