Testing a lot shorter this year too, so that maybe has something to do with it

when you look at how far ocon was, it was like an entire reversal of fortunes.
i think that's the real reason, such limited days.

pretty much same as you were from last year... merc probably way out in front, williams may not be on the back row quite as often.

And RP likely to be higher. Otherwise as you were.

Last season of the current regs. Barely any changes at all - the cars will be about 0.5s a lap faster just from natural improvements.
Next season is the "fun" one though, aye.

Done Silverstone once, about 3 years ago. Bloody brilliant. Need to find a way to go back, with my dad this time. But staying off site sounds like a nightmare.
I haven't done Silverstone since they ruined the circuit and doubled the prices a few years ago, but back in the day we used to camp at the Litchlake site over the road, then use Friday as a day to wander the circuit for a different view of the cars, Saturday we made sure of sitting near a screen to see who was where in quali, then Sunday was a bit more relaxed as we knew we had a seat reserved.
If you're happy to travel, I would recommend Hungary, the circuit is really fan friendly. From the pits straight you can see the cars all the way from turn 6 at the back of the circuit right round to turn 1. Then in the evening you're in Budapest, so can enjoy a great city while you're at it.

I'm keen to see how the dutch gp goes this season, ferry from north shields to ijmuiden is less than 5 miles from zandvoort.

I did Silverstone about 6 years ago. The year everything was delayed because of the weather. I was so glad I had my caravan. We just sat and got pissed the whole time. It was only the next day when we'd ran out of drink that we realised they were stopping people driving off sight because it would have resulted in so many stuck cars so we had to walk a 4.5 mile round trip. The 2.odd miles there were fine, carrying the cases of beer back those 2.odd miles less so.
I'd love to go back but the lads who I'd go with have moved away for work.

Random story I’ve been reading. Williams GP owned a 1990 Ferrari...

A Cuckoo in the Collection
For many years those lucky enough to visit the Williams museum in either Grove, or Didcot before that, would have come across an ex-Alain Prost Ferrari 641 in the collection. How on earth would an …

Final times of the week, not sure what this tells us other than it’s probably a similar story to last season...
I’ll watch it over the next few days... much to report?

How was it? I’ve only watched the first half hour, but looks like it’s going to be same again, but glad the other teams are in it this time. I’m trying to stop myself skipping straight to Germany!

Like the safc Netflix show, it can be humorous to see drivers or Simon Grayson making bold predictions when you know how it plays out...

Yeah exactly! Cringing watching him walking around the Renault factory, all the staff with glasses of champagne and talking about beating Red Bull into 3rd. Must be f***ing awful to watch in hindsight when you’re in it.
