Couldn't find a thread for it so here goes:

Had a canny time at Silverstone yesterday for the Young Drivers Test. This was the first time that i have seen and herd the new generation of F1 cars live and whilst I enjoyed the day out i wont be rushing to get tickets for next years race as they just don't excite me that much.

One thing, SIlverstone Radio are running a competition to win a pair of tickets to next years race. All you have to do is tweet (silverstone247) them the answer to the following question:

"There are 11 drivers who have started a GP in car baring their own name, who are they? "

Anyway here my vid of the running:

Good to see Leclerc and Camara driving. Shame Force India and Haas couldn't find better qualified drivers but I suppose cheque books talk

in ferrucci's defence, he seems to be a clever kid. i wouldn't be so sure that was just american + bank balance.

Hector Rebaque.

Wilson and Emerson both drove for Fittipaldi and you can add David's name to Jack when it comes to Brabham.

Aldo Gordini is another one.

MGDavid · 13 Jul 2016, 23:01 (Ref:3658740)

+ Christie
+ Maserati

Armco Bender · 13 Jul 2016, 23:36 (Ref:3658741)

I was thinking they were referring to GP's since it became F1.

Pieter de Klerk
Paul Emery

I'm going to make a little leap and assume they mean the WC sans the Indy 500 of the 50s.

1.McLaren
2.Amon
3.Hill
4. E Fittipaldi
5.Surtees
6.Mezario
7. J Brabham
8. D Brabham
9. Gordini
10. W Fittipaldi
11. Rebaque

And there maybe others that they are missing. But I think that 11 are good to go.

Intelligent, maybe. But I doubt you would find too many advocates for driving skill in the F3 or GP3 paddocks - where decent results have also been very thin on the ground indeed.

**bella** · 14 Jul 2016, 17:49 (Ref:3658847)

his career path suggests that he's suffering from a one size fits all verstappen chasing syndrome. but yeah, he should be doing better in gp3 i agree. doesn't necessarily mean he's awful though, unless you've got intel from those who have worked with him and would be willing to share it?

peebee2 · 14 Jul 2016, 20:27 (Ref:3658857)

Not awful but never at the front and drives overly aggressively and not too popular because of that.
