That was the season Bernie switched Silverstone to April as a punishment for something.
The Mika story is true.
The year most of the car parks were shut because they were random fields in Northamptonshire for the other 51 weeks of the year, and many days of rain had left them totally unsuitable. The Mika story is true.
The only people who had it worse were those who did make it to the ‘car parks’, because if they were barely serviceable in the morning they sure as hell weren’t at the end of the day, and a few tractors removed all the cars one at a time over a period of several hours.

Be an interesting weekend I hope. Saying that, seems like the weather may well play as much as a part in the result as anything else.
How does a UK driver 1,2,3 sound? Can't remember a time where that was a (admittedly very faint) possibility before.
That would be great, especially if Bearman gets another substitute drive, Lando, Ollie, George would be awesome, and to make it a Commonwealth clean sweep, followed by Daniel, Oscar and Lance (oh then Hamilton 7th)How does a UK driver 1,2,3 sound?

Just couldn't help yourself.
So it's ok for others to hope Max fails, but I'm not allowed to not support Hamilton? Pretty unreasonable (especially as I'm not a Verstappen fan!)paulguitar said:

Yes it was April, I remember as my brother had only moved into his new house a week before 6 of us arrived for a month from OzThe Mika story is true.
We also had a day of snow, (in Surrey in April!) enough for my daughters to make their first snowman.
Later, an 18 degree day where my bro warned us there would be people with their shirts off in Guildford! (there were, we were in jackets!)

I went that year and was camping at Whittlebury Park. On the way out we pushed a few cars that were stuck in the car parks but others were axel deep in mud so couldn't help them. Must have cost the circult a fortune as they had to refund a lot of tickets.The only people who had it worse were those who did make it to the ‘car parks’, because if they were barely serviceable in the morning they sure as hell weren’t at the end of the day, and a few tractors removed all the cars one at a time over a period of several hours.

I never want for any particular driver to do badly or fail. What I do want is for them to race, as far as possible, cleanly and within the rules.
Sounds good to me 
I imagine you want Hamilton to finish above Verstappen? (BTW, in my scenario, he does 
)

You also know they rarely self-analyse

Irvine dropped us off in the F2 pits at lunchtime, having annoyed the marshalls by giving us two laps in the Espace, sideways mostly...
Was driven round the GP circuit by Eddie for a few laps in an Merc E500 in '94. To this day I have no idea how we made it round Stowe, given the speed he was carrying.paulguitar said:

Look at the weather forecast now, it's just getting worse!
Significant chance of rain on both Saturday and Sunday. I will pack the poncho.
Joking, it'll be a good race I think!!
