The events around Picture 28 were crazy - Mohammed bin Sulayem has won multiple rally championships, but totally wrote off the Renault whilst trying to drive in a straight line.

The crazy acceleration of F1 got away from him.

Is it just me or is the left rear on picture 5 riding on the water?

I THINK it might be an optical illusion dbt. However, given the problem F1 cars have with aquaplaning, it's not beyond the realm of possibility. But then given Massa's driving it, it's wet, and he's not off the track, I'd say it's unlikely;)

Awesome selection of pictures.

Great picture of my man Jarno Trulli too. One of the nicest guys in F1.
