Ah, cop, funny you should mention that but I was at Silverstone on Sunday, and the Sparrows did the whole display as an eight-ship. What's up?
Out of interest, that was only the second F1 GP I have been to, the first one being in 1974 when the engines revved more slowly, and the noise of the cars from about 20 yards was absolutely shattering. Made the good old Spey sound positively muted by comparison.
