So the Formula 1 circus comes to Britain for the Grand Prix at Silverstone.
After leading the practice sessions, Ferrari 'faltered' in qualifying first losing out to Fernando Alonso during Q1 and Q2, then to his teammate, Lewis Hamilton, in Q3. Alonso had led the way in Q1 and Q2, so should be disappointed to be starting from third just two tenths off of pole. Splitting the McLarens is the Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen, who looked to have bagged the top spot only for Hamilton to whisk it away seemingly right as time expired. Massa rounds out the second row, coming in few hundredths behind his McLaren rival.
The battle of the top 4 was followed by a fierce battle to qualify in the top 10. Robert Kubica lines up fifth, followed by a great drive from Ralph Schumacher who put his Toyota over the line sixth fastest, his best run of the season. His teammate Jarno Trulli come home in 10th, although he put in a good lap, it appears he may have taken a heavier fuel load to try and gain track position during the race.The Renaults of Heikki Kovalainen and Giancarlo Fisichella taking seventh and eighth, respectively. Nick Heidfeld, in his BMW Sauber lines up ninth, rounding out the top ten.
Tomorrow will be the 41st Formula 1 occurrence of the British Grand Prix being held at Silverstone. Half the circuit is in Northamptonshire and half in Buckinghamshire, roughly equal distance from Milton Keynes and Northampton. It is built on the site of a World War II bomber base, RAF Silverstone, which opened in 1943. The airfield's three runways, in classic WWII triangle format, lie within the outline of the present track.
In recent years, Silverstone has been criticized for its poor facilities, most notable were the traffic deadlocks that occurred on race day, but these have been rectified with the construction of a new dual-carriageway to provide access to the event. Then when the even was moved to April in 2000, the April showers caused the fields used for spectator parking to be turned into massive mud-baths causing mayhem when parking.
The Grand Prix at Silverstones status has been confirmed until 2009, where F1 supremo, Bernie Ecclestone, says he will not negotiate for its return to the calendar as long as the British Racing Driver's Club remains the event promoter. It is suggested that at least a new pit-and-paddock complex is the minimum redevelopment required.

Superb Preview (as usual) Dylan 
This will be a great race hopefully, what I'm scared about is Kimi being overtaken by alonso at the start and hamilton running off into the distance because that would be no fun.
I think Massa might come out of nowhere to sneak this one. Rob's Tip.
