Photos of the banking at Monza

Post by dresda »

A member of another forum that I belong to just went to Monza and posted her photos on Flickr

Here's the link to the old track: http://www.flickr.com/photos/xenpix/set ... 285690327/

And her race photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/xenpix/set ... 433786314/

I love this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/xenpix/393 ... 285690327/

Thought I'd change it, as I'd now go as far to say Piquet is more of a reject than Ide, if not statistically.

Can we make an exception to the Reject criteria, so Piquet and Andretti can FINALLY get the profiles they both deserve?

They get their "You Lucky Bastard" mentions...

I think that Jamie and Enoch should add another category pertaining to facial hair.

Early 1970's sideburns, especially Graham Hill's.
Nissanymania! Friday has never been the same since.

"will you stop him playing tennis then?", referring to Montoya's famous shoulder injury, to which Whitmarsh replied "well, it's very difficult to play tennis on a motorbike"

What about Jacques Villeneuve's 'I Look Like a 45 Year Old Nerd Look"?


Back on topic, those photos are incredible. :shock:
Check out the TM Master Cup Series on Youtube...

You know, I really think he should get back in F1 for next year, just so we can say we've seen an active F1 driver who looks like he does now.
