The F1 teams experienced two very different sessions in Istanbul. The first very wet, the second dry and sunny.
Here are pictures from today’s practice sessions.

Even by Keith’s high standards this is epic.
Raising the bar. :D

Force India’s nose and front wing have got big changes. I like this new face. Old nose looked kind of bulky!

I’m about to wallpaper the Rubens Barichello one with the stands in the foreground.
Fantastic pictures.

Just wondering, why are the photos of HRT always at a lower resolution ??

I think they are from their official site, where that is the maximum resolution.

Kieth must have been using a high speed setting.

Well done Keith for finding an ever so rare picture of Pastor Maldonado on the track!

haha Yeah this might have been tricky by the looks of things today!
Have to say this gallery is brilliant; the Mercedes looks awesome in some of those rain shots, and the one of Heidfeld’s R31 looking at the diffuser is amazing.

I don’t know where you’re getting that from but it’s completely wrong. Look back over some of the galleries from past race weekends if you don’t believe me.

I guess he based it on the comments usually made when only some four(exaggeration) pictures are up. His comment about Button would support that, by proving he doesn’t go trough the whole lot.
People, If you are going to make a point on an observation you’ve made, at least double check, that goes for life, not just F1F. :D

has anyone seen the red bull cables on the forum? I am a bit unsure about it and would like someone’s opinion.

pictures in the wet r always the greatest when captured correctly! over the last couple seasons it seems red bulls photographer (if they use their own) captures the red bulls the best in the wet!

Let me know if I’m wrong but I thought that Pirelli were going to change the tyre markings for this race. At the moment it looks like they are exactly the same as in Australia (which was when they decided to alter them because they were hard to see at high speed!)

There’s more yellow on the softs.
