2011 Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix
The long weekend took a toll on me...
So, what's new with the historic Silverstone? Well...last year we had a new Wellington Straight and a few corners. This year everyone will settle comfortably in a world class new facility between Club and Abbey, where the new start-finish line will be. However, teams cannot be too comfortable here at the moment, with the increasing lead of RBR. They will need to do everything they can to stop them, if they can. This is where RB5 and RB6 showed their strength in the past two years. Race Date: 10 Jul 2011 Number of Laps: 52 Circuit Length: 5.891 km Race Distance: 306.227 km Lap Record: 1:30.874 - F Alonso (2010) Tire Compounds Provided: Prime: Hard (Silver) Option: Soft (Yellow) Rain: Intermediate (Light Blue), Wet (Orange) F1 TIMETABLE (British Local Time) Fri 08 July 2011 Practice 1 09:00 - 10:30 Practice 2 13:00 - 14:30 Sat 09 July 2011 Practice 3 10:00 - 11:00 Qualifying 13:00 Sun 10 July 2011 Race 13:00 F1 TIMETABLE (Pacific Time) Fri 08 July 2011 Practice 1 01:00 - 02:30 Practice 2 05:00 - 06:30 Sat 09 July 2011 Practice 3 02:00 - 03:00 Qualifying 05:00 Sun 10 July 2011 Race 05:00 F1 TIMETABLE (Eastern Time) Fri 08 July 2011 Practice 1 04:00 - 05:30 Practice 2 08:00 - 09:30 Sat 09 July 2011 Practice 3 05:00 - 06:00 Qualifying 08:00 Sun 10 July 2011 Race 08:00 Attention North American Viewers!

Do they have an "on-demand" type feature to watch it later? Or is it only live?

I just download the HD torrent after the race for the "race Build up" and "red button forum". (waking up 4am to watch pre-race show is a bit hardcore for me...)

Each time I see pics prior to a race (and they're great, keep it up) I wonder - how do they transport/assemble the team offices? Especially when they have back-to-back weekends... are they several large modular "homes" that just fit together? Or transformers from another planet like Optimus Prime?

I'm still playing in f1 2010 from time to time to refresh myself with the circuit. However, some tracks are different this season, the start-finish at Silverstone (doesn't bother me too much as the track itself are about the same as 2010). But its weird that in the Korean GP, the pit exit in the game was all the way behind the Turn 1-2 runoff area, but in reality last year, it feeds to the outside of Turn 1. Wonder was it because they do not have time to build the pit-exit in time.

Awesome pictures as usual! Thanks E90!
Playseat just needs better pedals and steering wheel than the G27's it looks like he's playing on. I'm looking forward to the new "Elite" fanatec lineup! |

Now that it has been announced for a bit a time, I'm not so certain Ricciardo should have gone to HRT for his first drive.
That car is terrible, and he will be fighting it the entire time. The only way this could really benefit him is if he starts beating Lotus cars and moves to STR next year. Look what happened to Bruno Senna though. And to be honest, I'd much rather see Senna with a drive next year than Ricciardo.

Also, Luffield C should be sick - you'll be able to see all the way back to Bridge, one of the coolest corners in F1. Last edited by Echo M3; 07-06-2011 at 11:35 PM.. |
