imgur.comI like the random picture of the red bull girl.

Couldn't help it, the light was hitting her . . . ahem . . . posterior perfectly.

not going to lie, the McLaren's nose is by far the sexyiest.
Also, Dat Ass.

I like the Mercedes' the best. Although I find myself being fond of the lego-like nose of Ferrari. Don't know why, though.

Me too! The Ferrari as a complete package looks gorgeous to me

But why does it have a massive shark fin? I can't keep my eyes off of it, it's a bit of an eyesore.

It is for testing purposes only. Like a Wifi antenna transmitting more information back to the team than usual.

The Mercedes is 2011 car, it doesn't conform to current regulations.
Won't know what it looks like for at least another 2 weeks.
2
You are right, I realized that later when reading an article on formula1.com.
Guess we'll see the Mercedes in action in Barcelona.

Some really nice images there, thanks for posting them.

Love the livery on the HRT!

Is this it?
2
Yes, I am surprised they even bothered to paint the car.
1
Did they only have enough money to draw 2 lines rather than the 3 for the platypus nose?

It's the 2011 car. Hopefully we will see the 2012 car before the first race.

It's like the NASCAR Tests.

Great photos. What kind of camera do you have?
2
Like I said above, it's a It's a Canon 550D and a mixture of the Canon 70-200mm f/4 and a Sigma 18-50mm. What sealed the deal was being able to walk all around the track inside the fences. If you try to look like you belong, no-one really questions you.

For those US residents, this is the Canon Rebel T2i from 2010.

Beautiful images... which camera/lenses did you use?

It's a Canon 550D and a mixture of the Canon 70-200mm f/4 and a Sigma 18-50mm. Being able to get so close also helped a great deal.

Fantastic pics man! Great that you were able to find spaces without fences.
1
Nice photos man, good job.
Am i correct in thinking that's the 2011 Mercedes?
1
You are. Mercedes will run the first test with the old car and basically just concentrate on the changes in tire compounds. I believe they will bring the new car to next tests at Barcelona

Great photos!!

Thank you!

these are the best photos from testing ive seen. thanks so much

Awesome pics, really jealous. Can't quite tell what Mclaren are doing with the exhaust, maybe they have something planned for the future.

Amazing, thanks for sharing. Best pictured I've seen so far.

What is that thing on the roll hoop of the Ferrari??
1
Great shots! Really well done, nice use of shutter speed / blur to hide the fencing. These are some real keepers.
1
Happy to see so many McLaren pics!
1
I guess HRT ran out of sponsors.
1
Very nice pics, indeed. Although, while browsing them I couldn't keep thinking... 'Ghee... Ferrari is going to have it tough next year....with the jokes'

Thanks so much for sharing these!!

Had an absolute blast! Met up with Reddit user 2948337 and her boyfriend who are such cool people, found an unlocked gate into the paddock and the rest is history.
Great images thanks for sharing - looks like you had unprecedented access for someone that did not have official credentials. :-)
It can be surprising how a professional camera can make it seem like you have credentials.
Thats all you need.
My camera has gotten me into some fairly closed off places. It surprises me sometimes.
Had a great time! And great pics. You really should have stuck around for the final two days. And btw, thanks for the vino tinto. I purchased a corkscrew for the sole purpose of getting into it. See you again in ... idk, a few weeks. I will try to give you a day or two notice.
