Anyone else a bit disappointed by Caterham? I was expecting a little better given Valencia, but I guess we'll wait and see this afternoon.

Some dark clouds approaching now. No longer sunny.

Hardly surprising given what was bearing down

Not that I'm vain, but have I appeared on TV yet It's impossible to walk through the paddock without walking past a camera

When I was there in 2010 I saw a reporter and standing in front of a camera pointing that I was in shot of, I think it may have been Finnish TV, but I stopped did some cheesey smile and waved, the cameraman grinned with a "you bastard" look on his face

Evenstar appeared on TV 3 times during one British Grand Prix weekend, so you probably have by now. (I haven't been able to watch any coverage yet this weekend.)

A stat for you from one of my friends who travelled yesterday. Because of time spent in traffic and lack of running the cost to him for his ticket works out at around £3 a minute. Thats good value in anyones book.

Could the race be like last year with the current weather patterns, some wet areas and some dry? I wonder if we will see any grids like the GP3 where half the cars started from the pits to change tyres.

They did build a proper car park on concrete after the problems at the 2000 event. It's pretty big, but I imagine a lot of people would still be parking in grass fields. Most of the camp sites are just on land owned by the local farmers.

Silverstone has definitely made an effort over the last decade with additional parking and new access roads. I think I was back home near Ipswich by 6pm when I last went in 2009. I did sprint to the car park as soon as the cars had crossed the finishing line though. We're just very unfortunate to have suffered ridiculous amounts of rainfall over the last couple of weeks (except my corner of the country that is still under a hosepipe ban!). I don't know what more Silverstone could have done, short of spendings millions on yet more parkling.

Just started to rain again in our pre-qualifying show.

So much rain, water was coming out of the drains rather then going down there

What happens if Qual can't go ahead today will they try a Suzuka 2010 and run it on race morning or go off FP3 speeds?

Eddie Jordan is awesome.

Back from lunch, not raining now. So many TV crews littering the paddock.
