I usually rather post portrait shots but here is Fynn full size in all his fluffy glory for a change. Yesterday he had to stay indoors all day as I wasn't home most of the time due to my dad's birthday. Therefore Fynn was more than pleased when he was allowed to go out in the garden again this morning. An absence of more than 24 hours always calls for a thorough inspection but he was slightly distracted as Sethi was somewhere in the garden too.

2019 Formula 1 British Grand Prix, Silverstone Circuit, near Silverstone, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom. Race Day, Sunday 14th July 2019.
About the subject.
This is the British driver Lewis Hamilton in his Mercedes AMG-Petronas F1 W10 EQ Power+ single-seat, open-wheel formula car, with number 44 painted on it, which is his personal racing number. Note the white lettering on the tyres (tires), indicating hard compound tyres.
Here, he is seen at the end of the race, driving off the track to get closer to the grandstand, so fans can get a closer view of him waving at them. I took the photo from my front row seat.
At that time, he won his 7th race of the 2019 season, and his 6th at his home race.
Hamilton, whose full name is Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton, was born on 7th January 1985, in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England. His father bought him a go-kart when Hamilton was at the age of 6, and promised to support him in his racing career.
At the age of 8 in 1993, he started proper karting, and shortly afterwards started winning karting races and championships. One day he asked McLaren boss Ron Dennis for an autograph and also said he wants to drive F1 when he grows up.
In 1998, Dennis offered him a place in the McLaren driver development programme, and by 2007, he got a seat in a Formula One race. Making him, to date, the first and only black driver to drive in F1.
He came so close to winning the World Driver’s Championship in 2007, short of only just 1 point, but by the following year, in 2008, he won his first Championship.
In 2013, he moved to join Mercedes, and went on to win 6 more championships, making a total of 7 titles, equalling Michael Schumacher.
The F1 W10 EQ Power+ was developed by Mercedes-Benz for the 2019 Formula One season, and took 15 wins, 10 pole positions, 9 fastest laps, and the 2019 Constructor’s Championship.
Although Mercedes had been in F1 back in the 1950s, and withdrew from motor racing in 1955, the current Mercedes-AMG F1 Team started 2010 after buying Brawn GP. The team then went on to win 7 Constructor’s Championship.
Race Summary.
The starting grid in the following order was: BOT, HAM, LEC, VER, GAS, VET, RIC, NOR, ALB, HUL, GIO, RAI, SAI, GRO, PER, MAG, KVY, STR, RUS, KUB.
The race started, and on the first lap, the two Haas drivers collided at the exit of turn 5.
One of my photos shows Magnussen in car number 20 with a rear wheel puncture, seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/49955865996/
Both cars managed to pit, but Magnussen retired on Lap 6 and Grosjean retired on Lap 9, both because of the damages to their cars.
Bottas and Hamilton briefly fought for the lead, and later, Hamilton would lead during most of the race.
Leclerc and Verstappen pitted at same time on Lap 14. When coming into the pit lane, Leclerc was ahead, but the Red Bull pit stop crew were faster, and for a short moment, both cars were side by side while going through the pit lane, until Verstappen got ahead.
Around Lap 18, Antonio Giovinazzi, whom was running in 9th place, had a mechanical failure and ended up in the gravel at turn 16, forcing out a Safety Car.
My photo of the Safety Car is found here: www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/49877436363/
When the race resumed on Lap 24, Perez and Hulkenberg made contact, Perez pitted for new wings, but would end up last in the race.
Verstappen overtook Vettel for the 3rd place, but when attempting to take back the position, Vettel locked up his brakes and collided into the back of the Red Bull. Both cars spun into the gravel, but managed to get back on the track and continued racing.
Vettel finished 15th but was handed a 10-second penalty for causing a collision, thus ended up 16th.
Lewis Hamilton won the race plus an extra point for fastest lap.
The results: 1: HAM (26pts), 2: BOT (18pts), 3: LEC (15pts), 4: GAS (12pts), 5: VER (10pts), 6: SAI (8pts), 7: RIC (6pts), 8: RAI (4pts), 9: KVY (2pts), 10: HUL (1pts), 11: NOR, 12: ALB, 13: STR, 14: RUS, 15:KUB, 16:VET, 17:PER, Ret: GIO, GRO, MAG.

Some low-res jpgs of a recent project I did for my friend Kat. Overall it was great fun, and a huge learning opportunity. It was also nice to have a graphic design project that didn't revolve around clients, proper logos, and some damned committee.
I'll probably post some higher res versions of the photos when I get some time. Also, check out her website for some more shots and graphics I did. My friend Ændrew is a fast one with the web design. It was awesome to put this thing together in one 4 or 5-hour sitting.
To complete the plug trifecta, here's a cheesy link to my own woefully incomplete webpage (sorry; it's very much a work in progress).

(I don't know if this will qualify for MM, although it is a replica of a piano keyboard which seems to have been given the ok by Macro Mondays admins (my full size piano, gorgeous though it is, doesn't really lend itself to interesting 3 inch macro photography)... but I shall probably shoot at least another take on this week's theme anyway... All good fun... :-)
