After a couple of days on a motor sports diet, I’ve added a few kilos. But in proof that sausage sarnies are good for you, lap times at Silverstone on 28th May dropped by a couple of seconds for Chris and Mika – both drivers recoding laps of 1:02. Still about a second a lap off the main field – but we’re getting there.

Thankfully nobody was hurt in the barbecue that took place during the first race. This screenshot from onboard footage shows a very expensive failure in full flame on the Proctor’s McLaren 650s.
