IS IT A LEAF-BLOWER?

Or it a giant hair-dryer?

Whatever it is - it's an exercise in sublime futility.

We're at Monza for the first qualifying session of the Italian F1 Grand Prix & the track staff are vainly trying to clear the surface water - what a farce! They tried squeegees & road sweeping trucks + this weird machine...

The Brit fans were ecstatic (extra) when at last the rain let up & our Lewis gained his 69th pole position overtaking Michael Schumacher's record well done him :o)
