Hard to know with strong regs changes but Red Bull will fall to being an upper midfield team without Max, but the 2nd drivers performances will pick up when he's given a car that isn't fully geared towards the #1. That's why I'd rather see George and Max on the same team, "normal" rules when it comes to building the car and upgrading it. If he's then putting 0.5s between him and George every single session next season, then I'll believe he's superhuman. Antonelli at this stage of his career I can see him ending up like past Red Bull #2s against Max

Off to Silverstone this Sunday!   Any tips?   Not sure whether if it is worth bringing folding chair?

General Admission so probably will just have a wander around.   I have heard the traffic is horrendous!   Hopefully it will reduces further north I go back to Derby.

Camp and go Weds-Sunday lol I've never done general admission but it's gonna be a long day if you want a good spot as they'll be taken the moment the gates open. Deffo take the chair. 

 

Prepare for all seasons weather-wise, so cliche I know but it's so true. You'll burn when the sun's out and want a coat when it's not and it's also a very windy place. Be aware you'll pay £15+ for anything that resembles an actual meal and not just a hot dog. Merch as well will be marked up 20% from what you'll find online. Granted you might not have the time or interest if you're only there in Sunday but you'll find pop up stores are more expensive that the giant shop under the hotel on the pit straight, and the stuff in the museum is even cheaper than that if you have access to it at all. 

 

Stay after the race and make the most of it instead of rushing out as you won't get anywhere. Walk the track (if they allow it, they seem to restrict it more every year sadly. Last year they only allowed access at Vale and after the podium celebrations) Get hooked and you'll want to do more days next year. The whole thing is a festival as much as it is a Grand Prix. I do seriously recommend camping if you're that sort of person. 

 

It's the first year I won't have gone since 2017 (ignoring COVID year) as I chose to go to Monaco instead which was a totally different experience to Silverstone. Missing it more than I expected lol

Couldn't tell you for sure tbh as I've never done general admission, depends what you're after. Think a while ago general admission let you go anywhere within reason but now they seem to have like gold, silver and godknows what other tiers, plus they seem to shrink available space each year now so there's less places you can go. If you wanna see cars at high speed/cornering then Hangar straight, Maggots & Becketts or Copse. If you wanna see action, overtakes or even crashes then Stowe/Vale/Luffield. Like I said before if getting on the track after the race is something that speaks to you then is recommend Vale based off last year, or atleast perhaps quickly making your way to Vale once the race is finished to be able to access it. 

 

What sort of ticket do you have and do you know where it actually allows you to go?

Vale is a good spot for GA, the seating area is on a slight hill so you should be able to see, and usually there's an incident there in one of the races. Good view of screens from there to do you can see what's happening else where in the race. 

 

As has been mentioned everything is expensive and the queues for them can be huge.

 

I've been multiple times over the years and it never gets old. Something to invest in would be a radio headset so you can listen to the commentary as the speakers get drowned out alot.

Thanks for recommendations guys.   My mate is the chief organiser so I am not too sure of the restrictions but from looking at the tickets,  the only restriction appear to be grandstands really.   Proper looking forward to it now!
