Lando was undoubtedly there to meet Valentino, they are good mates apparently, and I id see a story a while ago where Vale suggested that he they should drive together, I feel this would be tricky with modern F1 contracts, but it would be great in somewhere like Abu Dhabi or Dubai off season.

I do feel a little sad for fans, I recall last year there were stacks of people with stuff to sign and there was some really good racing about to begin and yet they are all standing about near a bus, it is a very odd pursuit!

Had a good time. Brands in the sun in May is a lovely circuit. Good views of great machinery.

There isnt a lot of passing but being close to the cars makes up for it.

Anyone know how the two super 200' racers are? looked nasty and inevitable when the first guy space and came back on the track.

At the Spa 24 last year there were hundreds stood outside the Audi pits and hospitality units when if they'd walked 20 yards they could have watched their idol racing, very odd carry on

Both okay i've since been told. Was a nasty one for sure. Impact split the fuel tank of the car that spun and I could see the battery sat in a puddle of fuel at one point. Scary stuff, could've been so much worse!

Thanks! glad they're ok. Neither moved very quickly after the impact.
