It was a very wet day for the 2008 F1 GP at Silverstone yesterday, although the damp had done nothing to spoil the enthusiasm of the 90000 fans, most of whom expected great things from Lewis Hamilton.
The earlier Formula BMW, GP2 and Porsche Supercup races had been very wet and produced lots of spins and crashes. Therefore, the F1 race was going to be fun. My companion for the day was a colleague, and he was very excited after the Porsche race, as one of his best friends, Sean Edwards had won the race.
The atmosphere was electric, as it was last year too, but there was more of an air of expectation from the British fans this year. In the end it was a great result for Lewis and he thoroughly deserved his victory. Not so great for Ferrari, paricularly Massa who spun 5 or 6 times in the tough conditions. At least the title is wide open again with Lewis, Massa and Kimi all tied on 48 points....roll on Germany in 2 weeks.
Here are some pics I took, apologies for the quality of the high speed shot, my little camera isn't really up to the job for fast moving F1 cars.
