  • Monza 2008: Photographs From The First Two Days

    A wet race weekend always produces some interesting images, so below are a selection depicting how the teams and drivers have coped with the unusually high amount of precipitation in Northern Italy. The teams had to deal with flooded garages yesterday when the drains became overwhelmed, and today the drivers had to qualify on a very wet track. There were plenty of spins, particularly at the Variante Ascari section leading on to the back straight.
