Silverstone Experience:

“Visited for the 3 days in 2010, and had a great time. Stayed in Milton Keynes, and drove in each morning… a journey that ought to take around 30 minutes according to the TomTom.
Had platinum tickets, for Woodcote A on Sunday.”

“Another great weekend at the F1. Opinion on various grandstands –
Friday morning – Becketts – This now has to be the best seats in the place. As ever great views through Maggotts / Becketts but now great views of the new section coming up from Abbey , round Village, the Loop and Aintree and back up the Wellington (National) Straight. If you can afford it this is the place to go to see most track time (you even get a very distant view of the cars through Vale).

Overall the track changes have hugely improved the viewing (even if the drivers aren’t that impressed). The whole place felt fresher with grandstands moved slightly and brightened up.”

“I`ve already uploaded a review but this time I thought I`d be a bit more specific.

Camping is a great option, the atmosphere is great and there is a bar very near hand which serves a great breakfast. You`re right beside Whittlebury Hotel (in the Whittlebury Park camping area) where all the team personnel stay.

My overview of the best vantage points: The Old Pits Straight is where I`ve been sitting for the race itself for years, and it has everything. The Red Arrows, the start, the pit stops, the build up, the drivers parade and the podium = TERRIFIC! This is by far the best all rounder, thus best for the race, as you CANT invade the track until after the F1. The best purely for viewing points: Copse (General admission steps), Copse into Maggots – MUST SEE! New Becketts grandstand, Stowe grandstands, fencing beside Hangar straight, the new Abbey. I`ve been doing it annually since 2004 and will be doing it until I die, or the money runs out! ”

Webber storms to 2010 British GP win

Red Bull’s Mark Webber achieved a comfortable win in the British Grand Prix leaving McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton second.

The Australian overtook team-mate Vettel in the first corner, took the lead and never looked back.

Of course, Vettel tried quickly to regain the 1st position but suffered a puncture which pretty much ruined his race
Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso didn’t have the best of starts which allowed Hamilton to jump to second from lap 1.

“Not bad for a number two driver” is what Webber said over the team radio, which couldn’t have pleased some people at Red Bull.

Nico Rosberg returned the revitalised Mercedes team to the podium for the first time since China with an impressive run to third, withstanding late pressure from
Jenson Button as the world champion rebounded brilliantly from his qualifying slump.

Valencia stars Rubens Barrichello (Williams) and Kamui Kobayashi (Sauber), meanwhile, performed impressively once again to take their respective fast-improving squads to fifth and sixth places respectively.

Webber: “There’s a bloke upstairs every now and again. I did the best job I could today and it worked out OK”.

“I made a good start and was very keen obviously to make it my corner and it worked out OK for me.

“It was a good fight with Lewis. It was enjoyable, particularly the first part of the GP.

“It’s very special for me to win here – it’s been a special track for me and to win here and be alongside these guys (Hamilton and Rosberg) is amazing.”

Sebastian Vettel will start the British Grand Prix from pole position for Red Bull after narrowly beating team mate Mark Webber. The two of them were inseparable in all three sessions, but Vettel just edged out the Australian with a lap of 1m 29.615s compared to 1m 29.758s.

Lewis Hamilton salvaged fourth from a difficult weekend for McLaren as team-mate Jenson Button managed only 14th after struggling for rear grip.

“I think there’s something wrong – the car was pretty much undriveable,” the world champion told BBC Sport.

Vettel was quicker in the first knockout session, Webber had the edge in Q2, and then when it really mattered Vettel produced a pair of superbly committed laps to settle the contest.

British Grand Prix 2010 Race Report

British Grand Prix 2010 Qualifying

The British Grand Prix is to stay at Silverstone for the foreseeable future after the circuit and its owners, the British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC), signed a deal to retain the event for the next 17 years. The race had been due to switch to Donington Park from 2010.

Silverstone had always said it was ready to step into the breach if Donington faltered, provided it was offered a similar long-term contract.

“This is tremendous news,” said 1996 Formula 1 champion Damon Hill, who is president of the British Racing Drivers’ Club that owns Silverstone.

F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone welcomed the deal, adding: “This will ensure the British Grand Prix is included on the Formula 1 calendar for many years to come, which is something I’ve always wanted.

As part of the deal Silverstone has promised to upgrade its facilities. Work on the pit and paddock complex is expected to start early in the New Year and be completed by the 2011 race.
