Silverstone Calling

Silverstone Warming Up

Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix showed the full spectrum of highs and lows that this glamourous sport oozes. Dripping with gorgeous girls, outrageous yachts and more horse power than the Epsom Derby, Monte Carlo once again was full of drama, excitement and with the death of Michelin Chairman, Edouard Michelin in a fishing accident on Friday - a tragic affair.

Monaco will probably be remembered for Michael Schumacher’s ‘parking’ incident where he "deliberately stopped his car on the circuit" After which he was relegated to start from the pits, but he came a remarkable 5th in the race with an inspired drive. Fernando Alonso won the race and dedicated it to Edouard. Montoya came in 2nd and Britain’s David Coulthard climbed onto the 3rd place spot on the podium, sporting a Superman cape. DC will sure to be fired up for Silverstone, and the British Grand Prix will once again be the place to be seen on June 11th. Jenson Button believes that he has got his work cut out if he is going to win in Silverstone.

We are not blinded by the fourth position Rubens had - we have a lot of work to do,

—Jenson Button

Home James - Looking good for Thompson

James Thompson WTCC

James Thompson Shines at Brands

The WTCC at Brands Hatch got a little slippery for Andy Priaulx. The reigning WTCC champion struggled on the rain-drenched Brands Hatch circuit. Another Briton - James Thompson made the most of the situation and made it to the podium on both races—finishing 3rd for both sessions. This has lifted the Seat driving Yorkshireman to 2nd in the championship.

It is a long way to go in the championship but I am starting to be very competitive and I just have to keep making this sort of progress at every event and I will be there at the end.

—James Thompson

Lets hope Jenson Button will be as successful at Silverstone, when the Formula 1 boys fire up the Northamptonshire circuit in June for this years British Grand Prix

Motor racing has always been something that the British have been particularly good at.
