The first day of a new term calls for a catch up with your mates.

And there’s plenty to talk about.

F1 Drivers… assemble!

Alex was first behind the wheel of the FW46 today.

Getting to grips with the 46.

Not what we wanted to see during testing, but we worked hard to sort out the fuel pump issue that ended Alex’s running.

Climbing aboard.

Just the 21 laps for Sarge this evening as a driveshaft failure halted progress.
