Shanghai qualifying - my pictures
Discussion
Well a great day at the qualifying.
The engines were revving to the max, and howling like beasts in pain.
They were screaming their way around the track.
I tried panning the camera at 200 mph, and got some good pictures.
Well, after taking about 100 shots, I got about 15 half decent ones.

I am really thrilled that MSC has perhaps found a car that he can do some thing with.
He is in third on the grid for the start.
Just as we were leaving, it was starting to very light drizzle, and it is raining a little now also.
The tropical clouds are heavy in the sky, and there is light rain forecast for tomorrow.
probably mid afternoon, which is very typical for this part of China.
I hope MSC can pull it off, and get a podium, or even a first.
I know it is not easy with all the youngsters so much quicker, but any way, I always remember him as being very good in the wet, so here is hoping.
It is really pleasing to see the HUGE support MSC has here in Shanghai.
His popularity is by far 10 to 20 times as much as any other driver.
Especially the girls here, they all love MSC, and are all wearing his shirts, and painting their faces with "Michael I love you"
They really have took him to heart, and almost all other drivers are ignored.
If he can pull it off on race day, then there will be fireworks like never before, and the Chinese know all about fireworks.

Michael has so much support here it is unbelievable.
It is actually embarrassing.
His support for some reason must be 20 times as much as any other driver.
I can't put my finger on it, but the girls here are simply adorer his every move.
Button, Hamilton, Kimi, Webber, they are all so far behind in the popularity stakes, they might as well not be there.
I really hope Micheal can do well tomorrow, and who really knows, a shunt on the first corner could take out a few of the probable front runners, ie Hamilton, Webber, Button, Vettel, etc.
They are used to having a front 4 positions between them, now it's a whole different ball game for them.
I am so happy to be in the stands at the end of the start / finish strait, and I will be hoping for a shunt to take out the Maclaren of Hamilton, and the 2 x Red Bulls.
Through the mayhem, the Red Horse cars will be way behind, letting the 2 x Mercedes break away.
Well, one can hope any way.
