Don't want to screw something up, but I'd like to see mentioned the date of the first F1 event, 13 May 1950. Trekphiler 23:05, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Brands Hatch?

Why are Brands Hatch winners listed in this Silverstone Circuit page? Those winners are already listed under British Grand Prix.

Indeed, why list F1 Silverstone Circuit winners here anyway? isn't it better to link to the British Grand Prix for the list. Richard Allen 15:21, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I corrected the coordinates of the circuit. The coordinates given are for the start/finish line, taken from Google Earth.--Ciroa 17:04, 18 September 2006 (UTC)--

[edit] Old circuit images

Can we move those to a different article or something? It does seem a bit ridiculous to have so many images. Maybe just an animated GIF showing the development...

For what it's worth, I like them. DH85868993 12:52, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, the previous anonymous poster seems to be volunteering to produce an animated GIF - that might be good. Until he does, let's keep the pictures, eh? -- Ian Dalziel 13:14, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

The pictures are really good, I don't think I would prefer a GIF over them. --Hamsterlopithecus (talk) 09:23, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wording

"however, overtaking can be difficult for less able drivers" - doesn't sound right, put Senna in a Honda NSX versus a Mclaren F1 car and he couldn't overtake, he most likely wouldn't be a less able driver than the F1 pilot, that is a factor to not overtaking, but is not the only reason, I think the line should be removed or changed to something like - - "overtaking, however, is, as ever in modern motorsport, not easy".

On another front, I altered the infobox to give info on the other circuits based at Silverstone. This article is about Silverstone, not the British GP. mattbuck 15:43, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External links

I added links to BBC & official F1 site--Cheetaih (talk) 23:50, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
