Don't worry, it won't be raining, and even if it does, it will be the smallest amount of rain, nothing to make them switch to inters.
I guess at least its not like last year where it did nothing but rain all June and Silverstone management even remarked beforehand that they had worries over the conditions of the car parks.
I'm certainly going prepared with some food in my car this year. If you remember in last years thread, I spent 11 hours in my car on the Friday, nearly which most of it was barely even moving. They did actually refund me in the end for the two Friday tickets I had to use to briefly run inside the circuit to use the toilet and grab some food, by which point everything was finished anyway, so that was good.
Hoping for a really good weekend to make up for last year.

I'm praying you are right. It does look that at least it will only be very slight rain, albeit persistent judging by the forecasts I've seen.
Hopefully it's so light it just burns off once they get running
yea mclaren just seem lost for years and even when they were at their peak they often ****** up a lot anyway even back in the 90s

Hope it rains. I love wet races.

Been asked for the third time today by folks if I'm looking forward to this race. And for the third time today, someone has gone away very confused when I tell them that I can barely contain my utter indifference and boredom with the whole F1 thing this season. At least the technical rules are changing a bit at the end of the year, don't think I could face another season of this current ruleset.
Also, is it just me that really doesn't like this Silverstone layout compared with past versions? Give me the '91 to '93 circuit any day.

If there is just one circuit/race that i'd not want to go and watch an F1 race, it'd have to be Silverstone.

Why?
I can think of many worse tracks on the calendar from a spectators point of view
Soldato
Yes, but not to watch F1.

You'd rather go and watch the Korean GP over Silverstone?
