anything you can possibly think of with team and driver branding. (i do mean anything). The offical stands behind the pit straight grand stands can be very very pricey(although there is some very nice stuff available).

if you wanted to save a few quid there are also usually a few stalls in the campsite over the road from the main entrance, they tend to be full of 1-2 year old or unoffical stuff.

Would recommend checking out the kangaroo Tv stand too, a unit will set you back about 60 quid for the weekend(they're a bit cheaper if you just want it for sunday), had one last year, made following the on track action much easier, really added to the weekend.

You'll have a great time mate, trust me no matter how many times you've seen it on the tv. nothing quite prepares you for seeing and hearing a grand prix in person, and the atmosphere around the place is fantastic.

ah yes, iv also booked kangaroo tv.

Where u sitting paul.

While were on it, alot of people are going to this years British GP by the looks of it.

A quid to the first person who manages to get onto ITVs feed and shout abuse at James Allen. Like James Allen you giant c0ck!! would be really funny. Nothing against the guy, it would just be a big laugh.

"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

The Vodaphone stand is usually quite good, bridgestone did a pit stop challenge for fans to participate in when i last went, obviously the BMW pitlane park thing will be there too.

If you have a mobile phone with radio built in take your head phones and you can tune into radio Silverstone running commnentry for the full day too.

Hand £50 to the first Irish priest you see to wear a 'Stop the Cock' T-shirt. Sorted.

Haha, im sure they'd be up for it !

Btw has anyone seen the press-conference from earlier ??

If not you might have heard about the Button-Hamilton challenge lol.

Looks like Buttons really making him eat his words :p I do hope Lewis does this, if he wins its a big PR opputunity and if he loses, at least JB will have something to be happy about this season. If he cant in the car, then he can in person!

I thought a moment he could have meant it like that, but it didn't think Gui to be bright enough to make such a joke, and it was to similar to the french GP, which was confusing.

But ok, I failed 90%, so here's a pic for myself:



(still one of the best :D)

Felipe Massa, World Champion 15:34:11pm- 15:34:21pm.

Woohoo, im off tomorrow to meet up with my brother. He is already there at Whittlebury, and apparantly its PACKED OUT already, they arrived at 6pm tonight and said they were one of the last lot of people arriving in the sit LMFAO! Incredible!


Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it

wow judging from that transcript it was a pretty crazy press conference

and Hamilton's father already put it down, disallowing Lewis to take part in that triathlon. cunt...

Its sad because it just makes lewis look like a small child in a sport for mens - Formula One.

Theres nothing wrong in doing a triathlon - and its a healthy thing compared to the things Lewis have been doing off-track lately.

If you read the press conference he was never going to do it anyway. He was all "hmmm, ermm, well". Basically if his PR department hasn't given it the thumbs up, it's not going to happen. He'll like a puppet. Grab life by the balls for @#$%&'s sake Lewis.

Yep; it's so obvious it's the two old hats bullying the rookie. I love it!

alonso and massa both in trouble this morning. Fernando out with a mechanical issue(looks engine related), massa spun and hit the wall hard at stowe(maybe on Alonso's oil??). red flag.

I cant understand why his dad had to say no???!

"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

Alonso blew up his engine at the end of the hangar straight. He left a big oil trail. There was a yellow flag, but no oil flag. Trulli then went abit wide on the oil, thats when they could see there was oil on the track. Massa came up to stowe at full speed and just lost it on the oil. Red flag for now.

the ferrari wont be repaired by the next free practice, so felipe wont drive anymore today.

for the ones who didnt see practise, heres a shot of the crashed ferrari:



and kubica debating whith his engineer :

Robert's race engineer informed him that some cement powder would be put down over the trail of oil at the end of the Hangar straight, and that they would like the driver to go out when the session restarts soon.

Kubica then said that he would not like to go out and clean the track for the others.

His engineer's response was to reassure him that this was only to check over how the track is in terms of grip.

Kubica's reply was classic, informing his engineer that it is obvious the track will not be ok, so why go out in the first place?

The radio transmission then stopped with the pair no doubt continuing the debate.

At least the exhaust is still attached to the car.
