I am using my IPHONE 5, I noticed that too. However the videos do not come out with that greenish tint. Thanks for fixing the picture

I will try and attach some videos from today's GT3 and F1 practice. Kimmi is flying out there. Maybe Ferrari figured it out this year. The GT3 series is the Middle East Cup series, a few European drivers mixed in with the majority being GCC drivers. Some were good others reminded me of a Potomac DE Green/Blue session gone bad.

Watched practice. Coverage had no inane announcers so was nice if somewhat disorienting. Looked a bit toasty in the sun.

Check your camera's settings. Might be a Custom White Balance. Or maybe set for indoor lighting. Otherwise, the only other possibility is whatever you're using to open the pics afterwards, might be trying to adjust somehow.

How cool -- have fun at the race! Seems like this race in particular would be quite the spectacle.

Yep, figured it out. It had the white balance off a bit.

GT3 race was surprisingly pretty good but only 10 laps. Qualifying was great, thought Kimmi was gonna pole. Mclaren is having major problems. Button parked it during Q1. It should be a good battle tomorrow. I hope Kimmi beats Vettel at least.

Cool pictures from the paddock, thanks for sharing.

I'm also rooting for Kimi, as always. He looked strong in Q2 and given his first sector time in Q3 I really thought he was going to have something for Vettel, but he fell off somewhere. I'm remaining optimistic that long run pace and tire management will put them in the hunt against Mercedes.

Hopefully there is no backmarker carnage. 34 days since Maldonado has crashed, he is due...

Fun to watch some competive qualifying. Kimi looks good at this track. The start tomorrow should be exciting.

Congratulations, Tony, for finally getting both dogs on the podium! Interesting race. Surprisingly no commentary on Nicole crossing pit out to pass Vettel
