Food

At Silverstone we believe high quality catering is an important part of your event experience. Aspire Hospitality will once again be providing an exciting range of food and refreshments for fans, developed by Steven Saunders - the celebrity chef better known for his frequent television and radio appearances, and as co-writer of 'Ready Steady Cook'. A Fellow Master Chef of Great Britain (one of only 17 in the UK), Steven's passion for fresh, local and organic produce is sure be seen in the fantastic range on offer over the Grand Prix weekend.

Traditional hot snacks such as burgers, fish & chips, jacket potatoes and pies will still be available - but we're sure you'll find the numerous other options, and the quality, very tempting indeed.

The selection includes:

* Organic specialities
* Oriental foods
* Hog roast
* Fresh baguettes
* Traditional fish & chips
* Jacket potato bar
* Southern-fried chicken
* Cornish pasties
* Indian cuisine
* Pizza & pasta

Jenson is looking good for pole.

Just heading out of the front door and then west towards The 'Stone...

Yaaay & I will be meeting up for ice cream & other pleasures tomorrow, and photos will be posted

Hmmm... Photos of "other pleasures". Sounds interesting.

Oh Er!

Certainly. Reports that Anna the Russian spy is to be released into their custody have been officially denied. The promised pictures will tell all (or not)

Don't get your hopes up too high...

It will be interesting to see if Yaaay and the good Dr can match Clark's Montreal Pit babe picture

Don't get your hopes up too high...

Jenson is looking good for pole....(had to keep consistency)

Webber heads practice 2 http://www.formula1.com/results/season/2010/833/6756/

Yamamoto in the HRT is only 7 sec behind

This must be due to some sort of sponsor or deal bringing money into the team. Why else would they do this. Out of the 3 new teams this is the one that is most likely not to make it for next year.

Thanks.

Just got back from watching practise with Dr.M. I can tell you the Red Bulls have a rail system as they were going through Becketts / Maggots unlike any of the other cars. Renalut, Merc and Williams were looking handy also. The McLarens were looking slippery.

The seating at Becketts is now the place to be. You get that complex in front of you and now you can see the entire new complex.

I concur with my colleague. It's the RBRs' to lose, as they have done on occasion before...

One minor irriation to note if you were coming to watch quali tomorrow and fancied watching from the new area - it's impossible to get to the 'Arena' grandstand on the inside of the new hairpin unless you've got Centre access (as I found out after hiking half way across the circuit...).

Anyway, the sun is shining, and even Silverstone feels quite warm.

Here's a shot of the F1Weekly European Representative and the Western Europe F1Weekly Support Vehicle, suitably branded.



I'm also delighted to announce that the F1W hats fit me, so I'm now the proud owner of a blue one the Mark Webber wore but refused to sign.

As the European representative one would have thought that he would have tucked his shirt in and looked the corporate representative part --- where are the pit babes ?

It was 30C. I am allowed to have my shirt out at temperatures above 26C.

Dr.M got all the babes.

---

As for the footwear, I am nursing a serious injury.

---

I just realised, for the Americans amongst us, I am fully clothed from Costco.

---

Except the cap of course.

And to confirm the originality of the cap Dr.M now wears to bed, Meeerk put it on last weekend but refused a photo.

Sat FP3



Looking like a Red Bull walk in the park.

Free beer at The Stag if he wins?

Quali Results.

Not surprisingly I have to report subdued rapture from the partisan crowd...

McLaren driver performance runs to form, with JB whining about a less-than perfect car, and Lewis wringing the neck of the thing.

The whole track is a sea of Rocket Red: Michael's getting the bird from the big grandstands, just like old times

It's going to be fun tomorrow, given a bit of luck. The RBRs will run and hide, but their niggly reliability issues are such that I cannot believe they'll both make it to the end (or will be limping). Fred's looking very hot & impressive - he's my tip for the win. Lap after lap he was treading the tightrope round Copse in quali. Only the RBRs looked smoother, and they were obviously much easier to drive. Felipe looked ragged.

Lewis is on the dirty side which means he won't get far at the start on this track, but it'll be interesting to see how the race unfolds for him.

My poll of the weather forecasts suggests that there may be some drizzle in the morning, but it should be dry & warm all afternoon. I've avoided sunburn so far

My ideal British GP:

Webber and Vettel collide in turn one taking Vettel out of the race, Mark pits for a new nose and makes his compulsory tyre change. We then have Alonso and Hamilton going wheel to wheel for win, there is a huge battle for 3rd between Kubica, Rosberg, Massa, and Barichello. Button fights his way back up and dices with Schumacher, whilst Webber drives his way from the back to try and get some points.

either that or Vettel gets hit by lightning and it causes electronics failure, he then has to take a new engine and gearbox for the next race and then crashes in practice 3 spitting his chassis in half and faces complete humiliation infront of home fans as he spins into the wall on lap 2 whilst trying to pass the 2 hispania cars after starting last.

You forgot the FIA fining Red Bull for openly favouring one driver, and a German one at that. 100 mill should do it.

Yeah. I'll take option 2.

Here are a few shots from Becketts grandstand during P1

Nice pictures...........

You look very comfortable, Yaay. Those are very nice and clear photos. F1Weekly hat looks terrific!

(I'm predicting a repeat of Bahrain. To date, all previous winners (except Alonso) have 2 wins each)

That is what you get when you cheat nando! LOL his head is going to pop off.
