i visit silverstone every year , this year i took in the turkish gp and sat at turn 8. which you would think is the best place to “see” overtaking. The race etiquette of the turkish fan was appauling. I did not travel 1000’s of miles to watch the entire grandstand stand up and sit doen every time “any” car went passed. Berrnie says its a great event , i guess he has never sat in the grandstand. 15 laps from the end (and still not all cars had made final tyre changes) fans ( if you can say that) started queing by the gates getting ready for the track invasion.. I watched the race when i returned home and it was a fantastic race , shame it was so bad at the circuit. why travel all that way when a short trip to silverstone will give a true f1 fan the race they really want to “see”.
