BBC Radio 5 live Formula 1 analystIt is a bit of an old school track, very fast, quite bumpy - not billiard table smooth - so it has character.
We've been coming here since we were kids so we know the track well. When you do a fast lap time here there is a satisfaction because you know you have earned it.

So, I'll give you one guess who the top two on the board are?
If you said Rio Haryanto and Jolyon Palmer, you were wrong.
If you said Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton, you were right.

BBC Sport at SilverstoneIt's not just about the racing. Down at the F1 village there's all sorts going on. From kids getting their faces painted to look like members of Kiss (yep, me neither) to riding Segways. It's all going on. There are also local artists like this chap, Ian Cook, who discovered he had the talent for painting F1 pictures with radio controlled cars. As you do. "My ex-girlfriend gave me a car once and said do something with it, so I did," he says. "I've been coming to Silverstone with my work since 2009 and it is all around the circuit now."
