Go Lewis!!

Well this weekend was something special. Steve & Daniel had purchased themselves tickets to the British Grand Prix and I had once again managed to wrangle a corporate ticket to the event so we made a weekend of it.

We travelled to Milton Keynes on the Saturday morning and Steve & Daniel went skiing in the snowdome whilst I hit The Centre (MK's Lakeside). We both had a great time in our differing locations and after a lovely dinner in Loch Fyne we settled down for the night in our room at the Holiday Inn.

On Sunday morning we met up with two of my work colleagues and all set off to Silverstone. It's a fairly impressive site as you walk towards it - with the drone of the helicopters getting louder all the while.

We split up at the gates as Steve & Daniel were seated in Woodcotes and myself, Vin & Erick were going into Club Silverstone (our location might have been more prestigious but I think Ste & Dan had a better view of the race).

The race itself was electric and that's from someone who doesn't even get motor-racing. I think all the rain made it much more exciting.

In case you missed the results - Lewis Hamilton won - his first ever British Grand Prix with over 60 seconds lead between him and the 2nd place car. That's some driving!

It was a brilliant day out all round - same time, same place next year boys??!
