Glad to hear it.
There seems to be some interesting things developing for this the last Silverstone F1 GP. Kimi seemingly off the pace, Felipe showing great speed but being caught out by Fernando's 3rd engine failure. Heikki appearing to have the legs of Lewis and we've got rain scheduled for quali and race!

Yes it is interesting however as we have seen before, practice is one thing, qualifying and the race are another. The rain could certainly mix up things.
That crash from Massa was scary and shouldn't have happened. It would interesting to know whether Massa wasn't given enough warning or did the marshals not send out a strong enough message that the track was dangerous. A Toyota nearly lost it moments before Massa's crash!

I didn't see any flags at all, but we were told that there were waved yellows. Personally I think that was BS and somebody just covering up for a flagrant dereliction of duty as Fernando had disappeared down a very long escape road and Jarno had also driven off apparently no worse for wear.
