This weekend was/is the first race meet on the new 'Winged' GP Circuit so it seemed like a good opportunity to check things out.
Firstly, if you hated Silverstone before you will really hate it now, the new infield section has broken the circuit up (to give you an idea of how awkward it is to get around, to get from the stand just in front of the Wing, to the paddock just behind the Wing took me 20 minutes on a bus!), the old Pit Straight is basically a ghost town and there is virtually no new spectator banking in place yet, so don't expect any nice new clear sight lines (and we've lost the nice spot at Club obviously)
Anyhow, I thought it would be fun to see what was possible with 200mm, as I get a little bored with people saying you need 400mm or whatever, probably a bit marmite but here goes...
