Some great shots

Good call heading down to the main straight after the race to see Hamilton. Much better than sitting in traffic complaining about how long it takes to get out of the car park

.

Farm looks like a good spot too.

And a random old spec McLaren nose? Thats rather odd. It suggests either a) they have only made 2 so their spares were of the old spec, or b) they are still not that confident in the upgrade.

Did McLaren run back to backs with the old and new nose at all on Friday?

I'm not sure about the old nose, I think Jenson had it on his car in one of the practice sessions. The new nose was next to it I just couldn't a shot of it with the wire fencing in the way.

If they ran it in practice then it was probably back to back testing to confirm their findings. After all they got very little running on the new parts in Austria.

Great shots.

You did especially well to capture a McLaren with motion blur. They haven't normally been fast enough this season.
