Is there going to be a test session at Silverstone this year?

Testing is supposed to be banned between the first and last races so I doubt it I’m afraid. Shame – I’ve been the last couple of years and it’s been a nice opportunity to get to see F1 cars away from the race.

Cheers Keith
Oh well I’m not a die hard fan myself and don’t fancy the bedlum of qualifying/raceday etc… I’ve been 3 years running to the Test session and camped at whittlebury Park, really enjoyed it, I’d recommend a visit to see the cars in action to anyone who’s has an interest in speed/power/noise!! As for the negative folk out there, trust me it’s an experience you’ll never forget!

Boy, 2009 has about the least changes I can ever remember one year to another.

Seems if you want to be a famous F1 Driver you have to be named Sebastien, so unusual to see so many drivers with the same first name in the one season..
