My my, where have the years gone? Fresh track surface, recent rain, one practice session, a sprint weekend, several drivers that have either only raced here once or not at all, this could be a wild one. Shanghai, welcome back!

Corrections:

When we mention Brazilian drivers, yes, we forgot Pietro Fittipaldi, sorry. Nasr was the last driver from Brazil to do a full season. Sérgio Sette Câmara only ever tested in F1. Before them you have Bruno Senna, Lucas di Grassi, Nelson Piquet Jr., Antônio Pizzonia, Cristiano da Matta, Felipe Massa, Enrique Bernoldi and so on. You get the point.

Slim Borgudd didn’t run a Toleman, he raced with ATS and Tyrrell.

Jesse means the STR09 when talking about putting prophylactics on nose cones.

Wolverton is technically the closest train station to Silverstone, but it still means you’re 10 miles/16km short.
