As HK asked here it is :D

An interesting Grand Prix has turned into a fascinating one thanks to the news of a potential breakway. But back to the GP
my prediction a good race by Button with a squeaky win <just>
Hamilton will plod along midtable.
Max will not be smiling much.
:D

I'm really looking forward to this one. Not just because it's on home turf for the championship leader, either.

I have so many things I need to do this weekend, I rather feel I will have the telly on in the background while I flit hither and yon.

It would be nice to have a British winner for the last British GP at Silverstone, or possibly the last British GP!

You never know it could be back next year as a venue for the new F1 breakaway series.

Good weekend for sport with the Silverstone F1 and the British and Irish Lions versus South Africa first test.

Oh, I have no doubt about that. I'm wondering if we'll get to see it on the telly.

Good point, the BBC are going to be a bit pissed off that all the main teams and drivers have [LIFTED] off ... so I can see a few trips to the courts coming up. lol

Yeah, I've tried that before. Something interesting happens and you sit down, just for a minute. Then at the podium ceremony, you get up and do something. :lol:

Oh, so true!

If I had the radio commentary on, I'd be forever switching on the telly just to see what they're talking about.

So, I guess I need to schedule an hour for qualifying on Saturday, and three hours for the race on Sunday.

*gets diary out*

Glad to see there is a bit of competition. I watched the last 20 minutes or so of the practice today and the times were blistering.

Certainly. I believe Wimbledon starts on Monday as well.

Anyway, best of luck to Button

If you remember Button's comments from the last race win, you'll appreciate the new logo on the top of his helmet. :D
