Oh, did you spot the cash point? I had to take some cash out while I was there, just to see what would come up on my statement!
Round the corner from the trophy corridor...

Nice to have so many trophies that order is a real problem. I bet Mercedes wish they had the same problem...

The trophies are in order, but how they're ordered is swapped about occasionally. Sometimes by GP location, sometimes by date, etc.

I can assure you they are not in any discernible order, I walk past the things at least 6 times a day.

I know why they can't put them in any order. Certainly not chronologically.

There would be MASSIVE gaps biggrin

I noticed they do tend to slip the odd one of a dreadful season in with ones where they were dominant.

I hope your host doesn't get fingered for you posting those pix up. Ron's very strict on that. Boulevard ones are OK but its a no-no to post pics of the areas behind the other cars.

To be fair, it's the first time they've ever been posted anywhere public.

Ron's probably had the entire workshop redesigned anyway by now biggrin

What is the little red car down the end?
It is the 1929 Austin Ulster Special that was Bruce McLaren's first car he competed in.

I was there a few years ago and wasn't surprised to find that underneath that little car was an oil catch tray, perfectly formed out of carbon fibre. Excellent touch.

It is an amazing place and truly is every bit as clean and gleaming as has been written many times before.
