F1 on... Somewhere: Great Britain 2018
The reason for the title will be understood soon enough. Before that, though... it's SILVERSTONE!
I know I'm not alone in disliking the new layout for this iconic track... essentially it ran from turn 1 to turn 7 directly (more or less). Also the start-finish line was between Turns 8 and 9. I guess the new pit facilities and grandstands are pretty darn amazing, so... yeah. Oh, also: there's going to be a third DRS zone, which Formula1.com's maps don't show. Whoops.
In any case, it's fast, it's grippy, the Maggots-Becketts-Copse complex is my favorite sequence of turns in F1, and since the whole place is built on a plateau and has its own microclimate, rain is always a possibility. Let's hope!
Now for the bad news. This is the point where I'd normally list out the broadcast schedule for the weekend, but I can't do that right now. I have three sources for times/channels, and the only thing they agree upon is times. What channel anything is going to be on is up in the air over here at Pond Central... to the point where Quals actually MOVED CHANNELS as I programmed it into my DVR. So check your local schedule for your own set of times. I can confirm that Quals is on Saturday and the Race is on Sunday. So you've got that going for you. Which is nice.
See ya soon!
