Come on the rain!! As Uncle Monty observed: "The sky's bruising"

So long as Bernie keeps remembering these heroes, F1's alright by me

Lotus less swanky but very cool. Best food too. And they honour the heritage...

Inside the Merc 'hostility' unit. V.plush.

When Schuey rubs someone, this is the bit that makes contact. Germans - sense of humour? Never.

God these cars look good up-close. Michael's ride up-close, final spannering before go-time.

Struggling not to send multiple tweets about Brundle's general legendary status. Almost missed this bloke wandering by

My weekend is compete. Ten minutes talking to Martin Brundle about cars 'n stuff. Perhaps the best car bloke on planet earth

These hospitality thingies are ABSURDLY big.

It's elitist and over-priced, but the Paddock Club is pretty special. Feeling v.spoilt.

Miss my old 612. SLS looks tops in red. Matching white E63 saloon and wagon.

Traffic jam heading into Spa - still, the view forward is pretty good.

Long day over. E63 was pulling just 3200rpm at 120mph.

Last trip in the E63 this weekend. To Paris for a story today, then Spa tonight for the GP with mercedes tomorrow.

Have to go out in a mo. Which to take? The agony of choice.

Hubba hubba: this has just arrived. It will be my home for the forseeable future. It looks very tough.

.....still handles like an M3. Into the shed for a few weeks now.

@DickieMeaden and @JethroBovingdon - The Best Car in The World returns! Full Nappa and air suspension. Heaven.
