Nico Rosberg has won a thrilling British Grand Prix was that unfortunately dominated early on by three Pirelli tyre failures. Two safety car periods created great racing nonetheless, with Webber just coming short 0.7s to win this race. Fernando Alonso finished third.
I have been standing in glorious sunshine with not a cloud in the sky, and my BBC weather app says it's raining heavily. So couple of hours is still a stretch. I guess on that point, we should expect it to rain during the race.andartop wrote:BBC weather forecasts are only to be taken seriously for the next couple of hours, not days..
Does anyone know if there are any buses to Milton Keynes from Silverstone on Friday? Was planning to go but may have to be back at work in London after lunch, so was wondering if it's possible to watch P1 then catch a train from Milton Keynes to be in London around 14.00.
I don't get that excited about it either – I think they made the track actively worse when they added the new infield section, I much preferred the old bridge complex. The sweeping left/right section at magots/beckets is fun, but so many tracks do that now, it's got a little long in the tooth.SamH123 wrote:Mercedes have seemed to take pole more easily on the tracks this year?
I think Rosberg and Hamilton will be really close again this weekend
If Merc take pole, Alonso will be the favourite for the race even starting 5th I reckon. If Vettel is quicker than Alonso in the race on this type of circuit it would seem RB have got better with tires
I don't get particularly excited about Silverstone despite being British, just find the track a bit lifeless. Maybe that will improve when I practice the track on the game
practice and qualifying should be on nbcsports. the race should be on cnbc.MOWOG wrote:Anybody know what channel and time qualifying is on Saturday in the US? Can't find it anywhere in my NBC channel guide.
Silverstone is still a good circuit but I agree about the infield bit. The new Abbey curve is very quick but I miss Bridge - a proper old style corner. I believe that the infield section was actually designed with bikes in mind - it was about the time that Bernie was getting shirty with BRDC. The annoying thing is that they have actually dug up the section of track at Bridge so it can never be reused.beelsebob wrote: I don't get that excited about it either – I think they made the track actively worse when they added the new infield section, I much preferred the old bridge complex.
