Live Commenting: Britain - The Race
After what might possibly be the season’s most dramatic qualifying session, we now head into race day.
Right now it’s raining a lot, and doesn’t show any immediate sign of stopping. The sky is very grey, with no glimpse of a break on the horizon. It’s also blustery and cold. Not the perfect conditions for a Formula 1 car by any means!
While the line up at the front of the grid is certainly one for the history books, we’re looking forward to the run through the first section all the way down to Stowe. What can the out of position Massa and Kubica bring to the race, especially considering Felipe’s charge through the field last year? It may be DC’s last home GP but he’s been outclassed by his teammate so far this weekend, he’ll be looking to make amends on a heavier strategy.
We’re sitting in the grandstands overlooking Magotts and Becketts, wave if you spot us on TV.
A selection of useful links for today’s action
We’re opening this thread exceptionally early today, probably some kind of record in fact. Do keep us abreast of your movements, plans and thoughts throughout today.

Cold. Shattered. Sick.
Not complaining, though.

Shame it’s raining for you. But what a showcase for F1 it will be? ITV are clearly expecting a huge home race bump. They were doing a lot of explaining of the rules yesterday.
The first couple of laps are going to be mega regardless of if it rains. But if it rains the whole race will be amazing.
Here in south london it’s actually sunny and quite windy.

Hey, it looks like the North East has passed the poor weather onto you.

Morning all,
I get so annoyed when I have to listen to all that stuff, but there’s usually something I never understood and was too scared to ask
I’m hoping for rain - in the UK and here in Italy. I may be an Australian, but I don’t like heatwaves.
The Italian newspapers this morning have an interview with Felipe “We’re not fast” Massa. and refer to the positions 1 and 2 as “crazy”. my italian is improving…

It is now raining in South London.

G’day Scott and all. I would have preferred a dry race with MW on the front row or am I missing something? Either way it sounds very wet indeed.
July 6th, 2008 at 10:27 amMichael said:
Awesome GP2 race. Bruno was in a league of his own!
July 6th, 2008 at 10:32 amScott in Italy said:
I just like wet races
July 6th, 2008 at 10:39 amMattw said:
Wet Races…Monaco…. Ayrton would be proud.
It was a very wet GP2 race. Well done to the organisers for starting that one. No doubt the F1 drivers would have been complaining that it was too dangerous.
July 6th, 2008 at 10:53 amMattw said:
According to the BBC, the band of rain has been moving across the country faster than predicted yesterday - and the rain could miss the GP. If it does rain, expect shorter showers, rather than long periods of rain
July 6th, 2008 at 11:02 amMattw said:
I think you are missing that Mark can drive in the wet! (remember Japan?)
Plus a wet track might even things up a little bit and allow Mark the chance of a giant killing act.
July 6th, 2008 at 11:08 amMattw said:
That weather passed by us yesterday (I live in Cornwall) - and it was exceptionally foul. Like a winter storm. It’s sunny here right now, but more rain on the way.
July 6th, 2008 at 11:11 amChristine said:
Just seen Steve Ryder and Mark Blundell doing either a practice run or pre-records. They were huddled into a corner under umbrellas, cos it’s still raining.
July 6th, 2008 at 11:37 amDom said:
Hi everyone, only an hour and a half to race start. I’m really looking forward to this one. Do we think Heikki can keep hold of a win or will Ferrari (or maybe Lewis) power beat him?
Looks like it might start raining down here in Brighton any minute now. The clouds are heading north, i think.
July 6th, 2008 at 11:38 amScott in Italy said:
but your having fun, right?
July 6th, 2008 at 11:46 amChristine said:
Who couldn’t have fun at a race? Although the drivers parade was rubbish, they were all sheltering from the rain and it’s too far away to see anything anyway.
July 6th, 2008 at 11:49 amScott Woodwiss said:
goooooooooooooooooooood morning race fans!
yep, i’m here XD

Found our seats but have had to send me back for the kangaroo tv. D’oh.
The Red Arrows may struggle in this weather.

YEY!!!! British Grand Prix!! And if it’s anything like the GP2 race, it’s gonna be good
July 6th, 2008 at 11:51 amScott Woodwiss said:
you know VW, Porsche and Audi said they didn’t want to come into F1? Well, that’s not what BMW says:
http://en.f1-live.com/f1/en/headlines/news/detail/080706121528.shtml
Damn, just seen quickly on the news the weather at Silverstone. It does look VERY wet.
July 6th, 2008 at 11:52 amJon said:
WOW, the weather guy just made a joke. “They may be changing tyres more than they change gear today”
July 6th, 2008 at 11:53 amlou said:
damn i missed the GP2 race again
ooo weather forecast on the itv news mentioning the GP…. aparently ‘they could be changinging their tyres more ofte than they change gear’ :/
July 6th, 2008 at 11:53 amScott Woodwiss said:
i think it’s time to carry on with our F1 team game
Lou, I’ve done my test run at the ‘Ring and the car is topping out just as the straight starts going uphill.
July 6th, 2008 at 11:55 amlou said:
you’ve got the rest of the test team then?
July 6th, 2008 at 11:58 amSteven Roy said:
Never mind you can see them next weekend at Goodwood.
Can we get a works engine deal then?
July 6th, 2008 at 11:59 amScott Woodwiss said:
they were with me, yeah. i responded to what you said about not getting lost, and i think jordan said to go test and tell him where the car is topping out so they can set the gear ratios.
July 6th, 2008 at 11:59 amScott Woodwiss said:
either VW or audi. i’m not being a cock in a porsche
Oh and according to Top gear, cocks now drive Audi’s, so VW then.

Morning all,
First time posting, although I’ve lurked all season. Really excited about today. Go Kovi!!!!
July 6th, 2008 at 12:02 pmSteven Roy said:
Scott,
You have to remember that the drivers have to be seen driving the engine suppliers product. Do you really want to end up giving circuit rides in a diesel Golf?
July 6th, 2008 at 12:02 pmDom said:
Hello everyone, havn’t been this excited before a race so far this season.
Want to see the Red Bull guys do well today.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:02 pmlou said:
wohoo! Goodwood!
July 6th, 2008 at 12:03 pmScott Woodwiss said:
remember they own bentley, so we’d be in continental GTs. Either them or the new Brooklands.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:04 pmSteven Roy said:
Good to have you on board Anthony. Feel free to throw in your opinions. Same for all other lurkers. We don’t bite. Well apart from Lou.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:04 pmScott Woodwiss said:
I think I’m right in saying this is the most excited we’ve been for a GP since Monaco, isn’t it?
July 6th, 2008 at 12:04 pmlou said:
Hey Anthony! Thanks for joinning us
It certainly looks all set to be a great race 
hope it lives up to everyone’s expectations. Where are you watching the race? online?
July 6th, 2008 at 12:05 pmDom said:
ITV Coverage is just starting. What colour will Steve Ryder’s umbrella be?? That is the question.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:06 pmlou said:
yeah i think thats about right. and lucky christine and ‘me’ are gonna witness it first hand.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:06 pmlou said:
OMG SHUT STEVE UP!! Christine chuck something at him! please!
July 6th, 2008 at 12:07 pmJon said:
No Umbrella,
Clouds now coming in over Essex
July 6th, 2008 at 12:07 pmScott Woodwiss said:
yeah, it looks a bit damp, doesn’t it?
Remember Lewis destroyed the field at Monaco in conditions like this. Repeat performance here? I certainly hope so!
July 6th, 2008 at 12:07 pmScott Woodwiss said:
LMFAO!

Isn’t it nice to see heikki and mark being interviewed.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:10 pmSteven Roy said:
If you are going to manage this lot they need to know not to take liberties. Let them think you will bite their heads off.

OMG! DID KIMI JUST SMILE?! I THINK I’M GONNA DIE OF SHOCK!

Williams have stripped Nico’s rear suspension again. Starts at the back
July 6th, 2008 at 12:11 pmPoppy said:
Morning all in this super wet day - I don’t envy those drivers in their open cockpits if it really rains I got soaked just walking the dog this morning!!
This should be exciting I hope this is another exciting mixed up race with some surprises on the Podium!
I hope Christine and Me and anyone else at Silverstone has a large flask of hot tea to keep them going!!
Haven’t Vettel and Piquet done well?
July 6th, 2008 at 12:12 pmChristine said:
I’ll be honest and say it doesn’t feel very lucky right now. Hopefully when the race starts, it will be so good it’ll make up for the conditions. I like a yet race but never considered it from the attendees point of view!
July 6th, 2008 at 12:12 pmSteven Roy said:
I just had a comment disappear into moderation.

oh it’s like hats at Ascot
July 6th, 2008 at 12:15 pmAlex Andronov said:
I think they had planned a whole load of 60 year hoopla and that’s been blown off course (quite literally) so they are having to talk about this instead.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:16 pmlou said:
aww
but it could be such an epic race 
and you’ll have been there to watch it. 
July 6th, 2008 at 12:17 pmAnthony said:
I’m in a damp south London, ITV on the tv and live timing and live comments on the laptop. I have to thank you guys for the live timing links - Its changed the way I watch races
July 6th, 2008 at 12:17 pmlou said:
Hey Poppy
July 6th, 2008 at 12:17 pmScott Woodwiss said:
even though it’s somewhat sad to see silverstone go, bernie does have a valid point. it was either somewhere else or no British GP. Simple as that. Silverstone were given ample time to revise all their structures, they didn’t meet it and now they’ve lost it. As much as i hate to say it somewhat, it’s their own fault.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:18 pmlou said:
It’s really great having it isen’t it
July 6th, 2008 at 12:19 pmlou said:
They have a ‘fan powered’ investment scheme?
July 6th, 2008 at 12:19 pmPoppy said:
did I miss something I thought this one was the last one?
I’ve never been to Silverstone so no Idea what it is like - for those that have been there or are there at the moment does it seem as old fashioned as it looks on TV?
July 6th, 2008 at 12:19 pmScott in Italy said:
I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s excited about this race - I think it really comes down to the strange grid positions. I mean Webber in P2? crazy…..
I just hope he gets off the line okay….
What’s the first corner like at this track? can we expect carnage? or just a procession?
July 6th, 2008 at 12:20 pmSteven Roy said:
They are going to fund all the Donington development with a debenture scheme. That is mental. By the time they get the money raised they won’t have enough time to get the work done.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:20 pmAlex Andronov said:
That sounds exciting and dangerous.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:20 pmScott Woodwiss said:
wow, we get to see mark’s 2nd place lap! I love that section of track from the start finish straight all the way to stowe. SOOOOO FAST!
July 6th, 2008 at 12:20 pmPoppy said:
morning Lou
July 6th, 2008 at 12:21 pmlou said:
next year is the last one
July 6th, 2008 at 12:21 pmAlex Andronov said:
I think Arsenal football club raised money (in a bond) against the future earnings of the debenture scheme - or something like that. So you can get the money a bit earlier.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:22 pmScott in Italy said:
Nice to have you on track Anthony
Some races though I realise I watch the numbers more than the vision.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:22 pmPoppy said:
Webber looked so neat and tidy in that lap I hope he gets a podium
July 6th, 2008 at 12:22 pmScott Woodwiss said:
i say that because it’s silverstone and the British GP, we do everything we can to get 1000 comments. agreed?
July 6th, 2008 at 12:23 pmJordan Alllen said:
Good morning, damp Race fans.
Scott Woodwiss said:
Hey. Just the out lap, the installation and the in lap. But 42 miles of data to shift through. Top Gear is being lengthened and and thing connected to the ride heigth is being raised. And I hope Scott’s Engineer is currently Sober.
Nope. Used Scott and most his crew as he could recover from injuries faster.
So Scott, how is you virtual back from the “test” session?
BTW, Scott, “Captain Slow” did pass you on the straight in a Bugatti Veyron… .
July 6th, 2008 at 12:23 pmPoppy said:
better get my best typing fingers on!!
July 6th, 2008 at 12:24 pmAlex Andronov said:
Sounds like a plan!
July 6th, 2008 at 12:24 pmSteven Roy said:
Poppy,
They will be at Silverstone next year and thoretically at Donington for 2010 although my money would be on Silverstone being on the 2010 calendar. Who is going to invest their hard earned cash in a debenture team run by someone they have never heard of, who has no history in motor racing, to have a race on a circuit that cannot possibly handle a GP even if the whole ‘facility’ is upgraded because the roads can’t handle it?
July 6th, 2008 at 12:24 pmPoppy said:
was that a williams umbrella going south?
July 6th, 2008 at 12:25 pmScott Woodwiss said:
i’m fine, it was nice to get some high speed laps in at the Ring.
LMAO at DC and him trying to work an umbrella!
July 6th, 2008 at 12:25 pmScott Woodwiss said:
LMAO at DC’s comments!
July 6th, 2008 at 12:25 pmAlex Andronov said:
Jenson was giving a shout out for all those fans sitting out in the rain…

ahahaha I’m loving this drivers parade. lol and Jenson and DC!
July 6th, 2008 at 12:26 pmAlex Andronov said:
Heikki and Kimi were really laughing and joking!
July 6th, 2008 at 12:27 pmPoppy said:
Ah - thanks steven - having only ever seen bike races at donnington and they make it look kinda narrow I think we will have to wait and see if this is pie in the sky - would no British GP be on the cards if Bernie doesnt like either?
July 6th, 2008 at 12:28 pmScott Woodwiss said:
Mark Webber mowing the lawn? Now I’ve seen everything
July 6th, 2008 at 12:28 pmlou said:
I think we can do it
there is always top gear to chat about later, and we have the car liverys and the game… oh and the race of course 
July 6th, 2008 at 12:28 pmPoppy said:
Driver’s don’tcha love em’ DC is priceless and Mark weber mows his own lawn and has a dog that looks just like him…

Taking his helmet off when he wins and doing donuts. Now that is why we love Mark Webber, isn’t it? Always thinking of the fans

July 6th, 2008 at 12:31 pmDom said:
With the race that we’re building up too and everything else we’ve got to talk about, I think 1000 is too easy.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:31 pmSteven Roy said:
A few football teams have done it for new stadiums or for new stands. The Scottish Rugby Union did it for Murrayfield. The difference is Arsenal ar guaranteed to play at the Emirates for a set number of games over a set number of years and the fans knew the people in charge.
No-one (I assume) has heard of this guy and we all know Bernie can pull the plug at zero notice.
No-one genuinely believes the race is going to Donington so why would anyone invest their own money in it. The only reason he is looking at a debenture scheme is because he can’t raise money any other way. No professional investors and clearly either cannot get a loan or isn’t prepared to put his assets up to get a loan.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:31 pmAlex Andronov said:
Webber is exactly right
July 6th, 2008 at 12:31 pmScott Woodwiss said:
you know it’s going to be a good GP when we reach nearly 100 comments and the race hasn’t even started yet.
Gordon Ramsey cooking for McLaren?!

It’s raining again! I see spots coming onto the camera.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:32 pmAlex Andronov said:
The most important thing for Lewis is getting in front of Webber. Kimi looks set to take him. If Lewis can’t get past him Webber will slow Lewis up.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:32 pmScott in Italy said:
This post is nothing more than a shameless attempt to boost the number of posts

It must be a nightmare trying to prepare a car for a race with all those press getting underfoot around the garage.
was that a Renault or a fire hose? I couldn’t tell too much water !
July 6th, 2008 at 12:33 pmSteven Roy said:
I like Webber more every time he opens his mouth. Maybe with DC retiring we will hear more of him.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:33 pmScott Woodwiss said:
that was a rather slippery practice start from lewis, wasn’t it? Doesn’t give me confidence for his actual start.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:34 pmPoppy said:
now in my “attempting to know stuff about F1″ does Lewis have extreme wet tyres on there?

July 6th, 2008 at 12:36 pmlou said:
OK I’m gonna call for everyone’s predictions
mainly wet or a mainly dry race? What do we think?
and my top 8 predictions are as follows
1) Kimi
Button (he has to be there somewhere 
and the weather could play into his favour…)
2) Heikki (I would love him to win… but if the conditions are bad then i think Kimi will have the advantage)
3) Lewis
4) Mark (i reckon he is lighter)
5) Fernando (good in the wet)
6) Felipe (if he does spin off or something)
7) Nick
July 6th, 2008 at 12:36 pmScott Woodwiss said:
i think so, yes. the tyres didn’t have white stripes on them, so they must be the extremes.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:36 pmAlex Andronov said:
I didn’t see a white stripe. the extreme ones have that.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:36 pmSteven Roy said:
Those looked like extreme wets to me Poppy

that’s the first thing that came to mind… there is a lot of water around. HOWEVER i have faith that it’s gonna be a great race…. I’m kinda nervous to be honest…. I just want Jenson to be able to race well in these wet conditions…. he is good in the wet but never gets to show his talent…. (well not recently anyway)

2. Kovalainen

4. Webber
5. Coulthard
6. Heidfeld
7. Kubica
I hope i’m wrong. I want this race to be completely unpredictable. I think the Honda guys have a great chance too.

It’s gonna be great having Ross popping in for little snippets of info during the race

I wonder - does Murray do special commentary for the Honda guests?

I really want to see Murray in those green shorts

Careful Gordon, no swearing
Davina’s there, so he can’t
July 6th, 2008 at 12:47 pmSteven Roy said:
You can do as many laps as you like so long as you go through the pits each lap. It used to be common to do 4 or 5 before all this qualifying with race fuel nonsense started.

You’re not the only one…. It’s gonna be partly if not totally a wet race, he is great in those conditions, he was 4th last year in fugi until he aquaplanned and crashed…. :/ He has got Rubens and Nico around him… hopefully they will all be awake not not crash into each other…

Hardly groundbreaking I know.
I personally think Gaulty has the right idea. That Sutil pick smacks of inspiration.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:50 pmDom said:
Jenson’s only chance of not getting a good result is some sort of mistake made behind him. Just like in France.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:51 pmlou said:
you want someone to dry your shoes…. well if you were Jenson i would offer…. but your not
so if anyone fancys a nice simple job that means you don’t have to do much work but you get free passes to the pitlane and races, do yell 
July 6th, 2008 at 12:51 pmPoppy said:
I like that Ross brawn “an opportunity for those at the back” let’s hope he’s right!
July 6th, 2008 at 12:51 pmSteveintheUK said:
No They can do as many laps as they want, as long as they go though the pit lane and along the grid.
It just burns up more race fuel which they can’t replace before the start.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:52 pmAlex Andronov said:
I hear donnington has fully covered gold plated seats with warming radiators built in. Or something
July 6th, 2008 at 12:52 pmScott Woodwiss said:
i think 2002 was the last time we had rain at silverstone, wasn’t it?
July 6th, 2008 at 12:52 pmMichael said:
So who do we think is going to have the first off-track moment? My money’s on Sutil.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:52 pmme said:
rains intermittent at the moment, no blue sky from our viewing position. headwind into maggots.

COME ON HONDA!!! This is your chance to possibly get some pionts! They have Ross
so hopefully he will have a nice stratagy for them. If all thats wrong with the car is it’s not quick enough in dry conditions then there are no excusses!

My tips seem to have disappeared. In short, I’m with Gaulty.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:54 pmPoppy said:

We’ll be hearing from Ross throughout the race. Hopefully we’ll be kept updated on Honda’s strategy.

I think it will be Massa, he’s only in 9th so has to try and get past Vettel and Piquet as soon as poss.

July 6th, 2008 at 1:00 pmJordan Alllen said:
I will stick my neck out and say that it is going to go from wet race to biblicial flood out there.
Hamilton, Kov and Kimi out at Corpse, er Copse corner in 1st lap.
75% of the race behind safety car.
Coulhard out of gas due to pit lane closed.
Now they open the pit lane ….
lots of crashes in the pit lane due to aquaplaning.
Two hour time limit will be reached.
Sutil Retired 1 point
Fisichella 3 laps down 2 points.
(you get the idea here. anyone who lives will get points.
Barrichello ( 1 lap down) 3 points.
Heidfeld 5th ( 4 poitns)
Webber 4th (5 points)
Trulli 3rd (6 points)
Kubica 2nd (8 points)
Glock wins. (10 points)
It takes Chrisitne and me two hours of swimming through mud to get to the car.
The tow truck(s) / farm tractors to pull out their car gets stuck in the swamp.
The cranes are used to haul everyone out of the swamp.
It will take Christine and “me” four hours longer to drive home.
The sun breaks out exactly when Bernie decides to scrap the British Grand Prix in 2009 as it just might rain….
I conclude that there is no god. No god could be that cruel.

Sutil spins and goes for a quick flying lesson, good job he has a nice strong car
July 6th, 2008 at 1:22 pmSteven Roy said:
Sutil went a long way. I guess grass doesn’t slow you down much.

July 6th, 2008 at 1:22 pmScott Woodwiss said:

purple s1 for hamilton, he can sense kimi is catching.
July 6th, 2008 at 1:23 pmScott in Italy said:
is it too early to call this as race of the year? or am i just getting carried away?
July 6th, 2008 at 1:24 pmMattw said:
Sutil does a ‘Raikonen’
July 6th, 2008 at 1:24 pmCorey said:
Now Sutil goes off but luckily it wasnt any worse. Bourdais’ heart must have jumped at that spin :O
July 6th, 2008 at 1:24 pmScott Woodwiss said:

YAH ROSS!! Webber stay away from Button
July 6th, 2008 at 1:25 pmScott Woodwiss said:
that ferrari of massa definately doesn’t like these conditions.
July 6th, 2008 at 1:25 pmSteven Roy said:
Massa’s car looks a mess. He has understeer in and as soon as he touches the throttle the back steps out
July 6th, 2008 at 1:25 pmScott in Italy said:
Massa seems to have really little grip. he wasn’t making the corners too well at all.
July 6th, 2008 at 1:25 pmScott Woodwiss said:
webber right on the back of button now!

Ross said they want rain before the pitstops, the track is starting to dry so he’s not sure if the tyres will last that long

Why is Kubica so far behind Heidfeld? Is it because ‘me’ tipped him for pole?
July 6th, 2008 at 1:28 pmMattw said:
