Ferrari Mailing List: Re: US F1 GP

Checking in on Michael's office, I really like the gray knob in the
bottom middle with the Scuderia shield on it. Considering the lack of
other labeling, I can only assume that that control adjusts the
"Ferrariness" of the car.

It appears Michael and the team have it adjusted to only about 70%
Ferrariness, which probably explains why the car is so reliable. I am
sure the street cars are fixed at 100% Ferrariness, and are therefore
time consuming and expensive to fix.

Hello Friends,
   A few months ago I wrote a little piece about working a Grand Prix
weekend as a pit/grid marshal.  I received a number of very nice replies
saying that they enjoyed learning what the circus looks like from the
inside.
   Here is another crack at that same idea but this time as a random
series of pictures from last year. 
I'll point out a couple I like then turn you loose to view them all.

   Here's a good starting place; Michael's office:

   My daughter and her husband in casual mode before going to work.
They're marshals too, as is Rui Gigante, but they're not working this
year's event:

   Same two at work: http://www.aubard.us/F1/3.jpg

   That's me working pit-out:

Control:

   The photographer and fellow marshal, responsible for these pictures,
Dr. Brian Manning:

   And our hero, Steve: http://www.aubard.us/F1/57.jpg

   Enough of the silliness.  Here's the link (to make it easier for you)
to the directory containing the pictures.  Enjoy.

   This year I am working pit-in and operating communications from that
station.  We have a hard land-line there just to insure redundancy with
the radios.  Our goal, and the reason for communications, is to
guarantee safety and rules-compliance between pit-in and the scrutineer
station in garage 1.  The FIA have their speed radar there also but
that's not our concern.
   I leave for Indy in about 4 days.  Can't wait!!!

Regards,

rick
