Summer is truly here.
This extraordinary solstice has landed me at Silverstone, Brands Hatch, Rouen, Canterbury and Le Mans, and next week I m heading to Spa and the Nurburgring. Evil, nasty, dangerous, rotten, magnificent, imperial, glorious Spa, Silverstone and the Ring survived to the end of the century through the absurd notion of accommodating the cars and the attitudes and perceptions of local authorities and other assorted big wheels. It would seem that true high-technology automobiles could accommodate any road fit for a modern automobile. It grates to hear that fans follow F1 because they love the technology. I swear it wasn t always this way.
