    F1 Test - Silverstone

    Hi all.

    I am off to Silverstone for the first day of testing tomorrow. It should be fun.

    Thought I would start a thread in case anyone wants to discuss anything.

    What's the view like from Farm or Village grandstands? Weekend tickets for next year are relatively cheaper at the moment

    I like the view from those. You get to see the loop section there and then the cars run off down the back straight. I watched some of the Endurance Championship from there.

    Mercedes running this year's car for testing and 2014 car for Pirelli development. Interesting.

    Interesting Pirelli development here. Given that next seasons tyres will be different sizes etc...

    I have a pit walk later too. All for £25. Only thing is that teams put out last year's cars for that. Guess it's only to be expected.

    I thought they had to use the 2014 car because Wherlein was driving it, or something like that?

    Are the testing some new rubber bands for the powerplants?
    This is my opinion and to the best of my knowledge, that is, if I'm not joking

    Going to Silverstone 2 days after the British GP? Interesting

    It was £10 to go to testing, about £140 for the GP. You are also not surround by 100,000 people
