To quote the greatest video game ever made:

Mercs are nowhere. :(

It's like they saw that Goldie was an absolute cutie and copied her livery.

What changes are these? I wasn't aware there was a change to the tyre compound?

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

They're the general reasons for a green track, so probably a combination of the two.

I'd have to dox myself to do that I'm afraid, so I have to say no.

Yes! I went years ago now and on Friday you could also sit in the grandstands.

Sadly there are fewer spots now to sit and watch the race for GA, so I'd recommend scouting where you'd like to watch the race from on Friday, and getting there very early doors on Sunday.

I'm not sure of the context of the question, but on a green track like Silverstone currently is, the lack of grip can cause the wheels to slip which generates surface temperature which can cause the tyre to overheat and thus be at a suboptimal temperature and pressure, meaning reduced grip.

Take a look at tomorrow's weather for Silverstone... 😬

Many cars all queued up right at the start, plenty of aero measuring devices attached.

Only thing that could be better was me actually being there!
