The British Grand Prix

Just a few photos from a yet another great experience we had at Silverstone; Qualifying and the Grand Prix:

Okay, from the top left row to bottom row right, that’s me on Saturday qualifying drinking up for a long hot day ahead, waving my grand hand made Kimi flag/banner, on Sunday morning the sun was scorching my skin lol, me waving with Club corner in the back, a McLaren exits the corner!, Button in his Honda, Kimi spun off track right infront of us, and a movie clip of the first lap coming around to us.

My Kimi flag and banner (Oh I’m so proud lol): Keep Flying Kimi, love Evenstar! (Your biggest fan EVER)

And I will be there

Ah, summer is here, and so is Silverstone – a classic track like Monaco but majorly different. But Kimi’s targets are no less different, and his appetite for a win is increasing, especially after the close combat McLaren had with Renault in the streets of Monte Carlo. Despite not finishing the race, his commitment was there and so was his speed and skill. He is as determined as ever to bring it to a better result in Silverstone for the championship race and also for his own desires…

"The British Grand Prix is one I really want to win, as with Monaco it is another of the legendary races on a great track, and of course a home race for the team," said Räikkönen. "Overtaking is possible, so pole position is not so important as in Monaco. I think there will be some different strategies come race day."

"When we were testing here in late April, the lap times were quicker than in 2005 because we are faster through the corners this year, most of the time has been found in the mid corner performance. This is partly because the smaller V8 engines allow new aero opportunities and also improved Michelin performance from last year. Where this had the most effect was at Copse, which is even quicker now than before, as it has always been one of the fastest we race through. You have to be flat through the right hander, otherwise you lose a lot of time, however because it is now quicker than before you have to be very precise, it has made the corner more of a challenge."
