Not sure why they need a helicopter to keep up with that this season 😉
Reckon the designer of that display must've had Airfix kits as a child!

It would be great if there was a giant gluey fingerprint on the windshield (if it has a windshield - and by great I mean "a step closer to my own modelling experiences"!).
...apparently Mercedes have one similar in their museum:

That first pic looks like the MP4-23 though (Lewis' WDC car in '08), so the helicopter ain't really in with a shout.
good point - I thought it looked an older one but had wrongly assumed it was this year's car.
I drove round Bathurst (where the first pic' was taken) in a hire car when on holiday a few years ago as it's all public road. What I didn't realise until halfway round my 2nd flying lap, was that you are allowed to drive round it both ways 😯 Oooops!
I'd love to race there - the "mountain" section is pretty tight and steep - god knows what it must be like in a V8 touring car in the rain!

Thats the bunny. The one you can build in weekly stages now 🙂
That's some serious wind chimes they have there...
Must be a pain to dust!

Wow, didn't expect that!
BTW has anybody seen the Formula 1 android app? It's called 'Formula1.com 2011'. Really good. Live commentary, sector times, wind/humidity etc.
Remember it's only P2 folks - no idea about fuel loads or what programme the other guys were running, so don't get too excited yet. Though based on testing it's impressive that they kept 2 cars running for both sessions.
