The paddock in Silverstone is talking about this

Nostalgia: His team boss also thinks Sebastian Vettel’s show laps in a 30-year-old racing car are “just a cool thing”. On the Sunday before the race, Vettel will drive Nigel Mansell's 1992 Williams, fueled in an environmentally friendly manner with CO2-neutral fuel. “You have to support something like that, there was no discussion for us,” said Mike Krack, Aston Martin team boss. He's already looking forward to the sound of the ten-cylinder engine. Krack thinks it's okay that Vettel has repeatedly used the Formula 1 stage for messages on political and social issues. “If you have someone who is committed to things, you should tolerate and support that. We also have a role model function,” said the Luxembourger.

Constant dispute: In the dispute over wearing jewelry in the cockpit, the rules enforcers are not letting up. Before the guest appearance in Silverstone, the next deadline expired for Lewis Hamilton, who does not want to accept the ban. Nevertheless, he removed his eye-catching diamond from his nostrils for training. “We have to worry about more important things,” said the Mercedes driver. But he will continue to look for a compromise together with the world association FIA. The regulators want to enforce the ban on jewelry with greater vigor than before for safety reasons.

Point of view: An unusual camera perspective is intended to give Formula 1 fans new insights into the pilots' workplace on the Silverstone weekend. There are pictures of the Brit using the accelerator pedal from the footwell of Lando Norris' McLaren. Most recently, the racing series also used a helmet camera. This is intended to help fans understand the challenges in the cockpit better, it was said. But the pedal camera is not a new invention. There had already been experiments with the technology in the 90s and in the 2000 season.
