Having been cooked at Silverstone last year, I don’t really envy the people already out there on the grass banks this early in the day. I know they need to secure their place for the F1 later but it looks absolutely boiling there already! Even under shade it must be roasting in the crowd.

Any chance this F2 race isn't a snooze fest ?
Got tyre change to deal with, so should be some overtaking, even if tyre-life induced.
I’ve a feeling that someone might try a two-stop. They’ve all being talking about loads of tyre management required. A safety car at the right time, might be the trigger. Got tyre change to deal with, so should be some overtaking, even if tyre-life induced.

No they don't. It amazes me in these days of overbearing H&S they were allowed to be brought back onto the circuits. Only an idiot would use them.
There’s still half a dozen of the f
kers at the final chicane. They’re clearly waiting for the FIA insurance to have to pay out on a life-changing injury, before they finally get banned.

Sausage kerbs gone from the T1 'escape' route, I see.
Why bother putting them in - everyone knows they're st, everyone who has put them in has had to remove them, do these people never learn?

Not going very well at all, according to these tweets - like Silverstone from 20 years ago - Silverstone is soooo much better now;https://twitter.com/emlawrance/status/152831567139...

Started to liven up after the tyre changes. I wonder if the main event will follow suit? Got tyre change to deal with, so should be some overtaking, even if tyre-life induced.

Caldwell's strategy is now falling to pieces - can't keep waiting for a hoped-for SC when you're a second slower than everyone else on shagged tyres.
5 laps ago he could have pitted for Softs and got back into the top ten. Not now. Sad

Yep, stayed out a few laps too long there. He’s half a minute off the points, but with only five laps left. 5 laps ago he could have pitted for Softs and got back into the top ten. Not now. Sad

Basing your race strategy on something that may or may not happen doesn’t seem very professional to me 5 laps ago he could have pitted for Softs and got back into the top ten. Not now. Sad
