Oh but that shower was good!!! It was unbelievably hot and sticky today and we were sitting in full sun.
Now. Today's story. We got up , slightly jaded, and went to breakfast about 7.30 ready to meet our escorts, when what should meet outpr eyes but A WHOLE ROOM FULL of nice young men with team Tshirts on . Which ones were ours? Difficult. It seems the Russian Time team are in our hotel ...all of them, loads! Eventually we did find our ones and the duly got us to the track bless them! And we must have been a good omen because Mitch Evans won today!! We were cheating him on, he drove great .
On the way from the car park to the track we passed a campsite. Now F1 campsites are very familiar with me, but whereas at Silverstone they are strewn with heaters and gazebos and paraphernalia
to combat the rain, on this campsite there were blow up dolls, swimming pools and water squirters. We got squirted when we walked past, and we got the offer of using the swimming pool. Pictures to follow. I can't get them off the camera and into the iPad, I have to do a weird thing.
Observations on Hokenheim. Very easy to get to, especially with an escort. Everyone very friendly. Well organised. Parking easy. Seemed more red bull fans than Mercedes fans, but maybe Mercedes fans are just more discreet. Not the atmosphere of Silverstone, but not bad and whilst we had great seats , just as they come into the stafium , there wasn't the action you see at the new Silverstone loop. Saw a couple if overtakes in the Gp2. That was a good race.
Distraught over Lewis! Can't talk about that. Going to the bar now.
