2007 EUROPEAN GRAND PRIX - FRIDAY 20/07/07
Camping is very popular for race fans at the 'Ring', so why not please your readers with our handy camping hints and tips
Today's tips:
- Wear a long-sleeved T shirt and you will always have somewhere to wipe your nose.
- The Swiss Army Knife is a favourite with campers, but the Swiss Navy Knife is less well known: it has just one small blade that works as a tiny canoe paddle.
Scott Speed (STR2-04)
"We have a couple of new parts on the car, but at the moment it is difficult to tell if it has actually done anything or not. I did not get so much done and did not complete that many laps after a mechanical problem in the morning. But the car does not feel too bad here.
It's hard to tell how far off the pace we are as we don't know what fuel loads the others were running. The main problem I had today was a lack of overall grip especially in the first sector and the slow parts."
First Practice Session
Best lap 1.35.643, pos. 20th, 15 laps
Second Practice Session
Best lap 1.35.320, pos. 19th, 26 laps
Tonio Liuzzi (STR2-03)
"I had quite a decent day with the car working reasonably well from the morning. We still have to get a clear picture of how the tyres compare, because we have an idea, but not a completely clear one as yet. The car did not react too badly, but we have plenty of work to do overnight to improve our situation.
I had a good start to the afternoon session, but towards the end, when I was on new tyres, I lost the rear of the car in corner 5 and went over the gravel on what could have been a strong lap. The rain at lunchtime did not have much effect on the track, but the wind changed direction for the second session, which affected corner speed and the behaviour of the car in some corners."
First Practice Session
Best lap 1.34.907, pos. 17th, 31 laps
Second Practice Session
Best lap 1.35.653, pos. 20th, 24 laps
T-Car: STR2-01 (Speed)
