Report from a wet Silverstone
Yesterday I went down to the F1 testing at Silverstone.
Present at the tests were all the teams expect Sauber (who where at Monza) and Minardi. I got down there about 11am and watched Pedro De La Rosa, Montoya,Klien and Heidfeld doing some laps.
I noticed that coming out of Woodcote the Williams traction control really kicked in and there was much less TC on the Mclarens.
The Jordan sounded very strange coming out of Woodcote.
I recorded some audio for the Grand Prix Show and got a little mpg video clip of the testing which you can watch here

Sweet work Ian! That’s cool. I wish we had that luxury to go down to a track and watch teams test here in the US. The sound was remarkably clear for what i’m guessing was a digital camera.
Enjoyed your podcast, btw, we’ll mention it in our show this Friday or Saturday.
cheers

Awesome work. Services like this is a godsgive for swedish citizens who have no TV coverage of the practice, and very limited on the qualy and race.
