Jenson Button - F1 racing in Manchester!

A chance to see Jenson Button hurtling through Manchester in his F1 car - too good to miss!


We got there nice and early and bagged a spot halfway down Deansgate....



... which was a good job because by the time Jenson was out and running 
there was a HUGE crowd! 

First he took some competition winners out for a spin in a McLaren MP4-12C 


...then he went off to prep his F1 car...

... while we got rather wet!


Then it was time for the main event - and boy was it worth waiting for!


Al  told me about the amazing noise an F1 car makes after he saw the Monaco GP way back in 2000 - but nothing beats hearing it in real life. 

Jenson punched it as he passed us - and honestly - it was painful (though fantastic!)





Noise and rain and smoke - FANTASTIC!
