It seems traditional now that spectators at the European Grands Prix races will also get the opportunity to see Porsche racing in the form of the Porsche SuperCup, and the Porsche Supercup at the 2013 British Grand Prix meant that this was still true for those who spent the last weekend of June at Silverstone.…
Among the various support races that take place at Grands Prix, particularly those in the European races, is the GP3 tournament, and I was able to watch some of the GP3 racing at the 2013 British Grand Prix in June. The racing is normally very competitive in GP3, just like GP2, as drivers compete not…
After posting various pictures of the support events and build up to the 2013 British Grand Prix, here are some pictures of the race itself. It was an interesting and dramatic Grand Prix, with initial home excitement about a British driver on pole position, in the form of Lewis Hamilton. He started well, but was…
It is normally good for a Grand Prix to be remembered, particularly as an exciting race, a great performance by a driver or team, or for some impressive overtaking manoeuvres. However, the 2013 British Grand Prix, whilst having all of those qualities, will also be remembered for the Pirelli tyre issues that a number of…
One of the most impressive sights at each British Grand Prix is not of the four wheeled variety, but rather the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, more commonly known as The Red Arrows. The Red Arrows were formed in 1964, bringing together a series of RAF display teams that started in 1920. The Red Arrows…
The 2013 British Grand Prix Drivers Parade was of the traditional style with the twenty two Formula One drivers parading around the circuit on the back of a truck, with a media team interviewing them as they went around. There have been a few changes at some races recently, with both Austin in 2012 and…
The Second GP2 Race at the 2013 British Grand Prix on the Sunday morning (the 30th June) before the British Grand Prix itself had plenty of expectation, with the first GP2 race of the weekend delivering a British winner in the form of Sam Bird. Julian Leal started from pole, after the normal reverse grid…
The First GP2 Race at the 2013 British Grand Prix was on Saturday afternoon after F1 Qualifying, and was a dramatic event from the start. Marcus Ericsson started from pole, and got off to a great start, with the Russian Time car of British driver Sam Bird picking up some wheel spin, allowing Felipe Nasr to pass…
I have posted various photos from the 2013 British Grand Prix in various galleries based on the events, and thought that an index of them might help with finding particular photos. There is also an index of galleries of each of the current drivers, and some previous Formula One drivers, which will be updated with…
Free Practice Three for the 2013 British Grand Prix was, as normal, on Saturday morning before qualifying, and I watched the session from Abbey, where spectators can watch the cars exit the pit lanes and reach the end of the International Pit Straight, where after the high speed section, there is a quick deceleration through…
The timetable for any Grand Prix weekend holds more events than just Formula One, and the support events at races are becoming increasingly standardised, with the arrival of GP2 and GP3 as the feeder categories for Formula One. GP2 practice for the 2013 British Grand Prix, on Friday 28th June at Silverstone, was a wet…
Qualifying for the 2013 British Grand Prix was a warm and sunny session, in contrast to the session last year that was red flagged because of the rain. At one stage in qualifying, the top twelve drivers were arranged in pairs by team, but that was not to last. It was not one of the…
