Bugger.

Visibility is so poor due to fog that my helicopter can't take off and I it is too late for me to drive to Silverstone in time, so I will miss out on my Sky interview with Jenson and Chris.

Very much a PH first world problem, I know!
Yes mate, I think we might have just hit peak PH first world problem there.

Do you keep the helicopter at a airfield or home ?

I used to deliver post to a cricket player who managed to 'park ' his on the 'large; garden.

Sorry, bad phrasing, "my" was just a reference the one I was supposed to have for today!

I don't use one anywhere near enough to justify owning it, I just charter it when I need to get somewhere quickly.

Kelvin sent me a text earlier asking where I was. Completely gutted to not be their with him, Chris and Jenson.

We put so much into this in order to raise the profile and some bad weather put an end to me joining everyone on the day.

Those masks just fall down as your jaw moves when talking, you can't stop it!

Being on Sky F1 should raise the profile, although I've not seen many adverts for it.

You need the masks that come up over your nose slightly, with a metal strip you can contour to your nose. I wear glasses so have had to try a few to avoid steamed up lenses !

Love the noise of the Mustangs. They would sound amazing at Le Mans.

Doesn't look like a McLaren from the back ? Saying that, I was using the safety car period for making tea and a sandwich laugh

The commentators said it was a McLaren a couple of times. I don't know enough about McLarens to say what it is!

It would be rather useful, unintelligent weather forecasting has buggered up my day!

There was a window I could have got out for the race in time (though still miss the media) and then it closed back in, meaning if I had I wouldn't have been able to get back. My wife thought that was a really good idea! biggrin
