McLaren Grand Prix pits experience

 
 

At the 2010 Australian Grand prix I was fortunate enough to be invited into the Team Vodafone McLaren Mercedes pits for Saturday practice, and then on the Sunday spent some time in their media centre watching the race on the monitors.  Being with the Team behind the scenes of a live Grand Prix was a fascinating experience and adds a layer of context that you don’t see via the television, or even from the grandstands.


Then, at the end of the race after Jenson’s great win (you could hear the screams of the monkey coming off his back...), there was another bookmark life experience in pit lane.  I can’t thank James and Mark enough.


Roll the tape...

Behind the scenes in the McLaren pits, and a nice surprise...
