Justin: I absolutely love the build up to a race!!!! It's the week before....its the anticipation, its the news stories filtering through as drivers do their PR work for their teams. This weekend there is a small event taking place in an old airfield somewhere north of London.
If you've been reading the papers, you'll have read about Damon Hill analysing the Button vs Hamilton axis. He thinks their feud could be about to boil over and he then labelled Button the Tortoise to Hamilton's Hare!
Then, in the news today, a fantastic article about Button and Hamilton visiting Great Ormond Street hospital and neither of them knowing what to say when asked by one boy "do you have a bet on to see who will win the title?"....he then said "the loser should be bogwashed by the other"....Button replies "did he just say that? Well, if that happens to me, I'll get my running shoes on"....classic stuff from the British duo at Mclaren! :-).
Incidentally, the bbc website lists classic race moments for each GP and we pick one out to be replayed - Hmmm, British GP classic race? There is only one....Mansell, balls out overtaking around the outside of Nelson Piquet in 87 baby! That was one time of many with Mansell where you could hear the crowd roar over the noise of the cars. Amazing!
Looking at the news coverage, you wouldnt think anyone else was competing in this GP, other than Hamilton and Button!
In other news, Lewis said he and Fernando are "cool" as they "texted" to sort out their differences. Mysterious!
Roll on quali on Saturday baby!!!!!
