@TouringCarHub It has to be said, he's had a great year so far and its down to 2 things. He's finally got a car that works well for him and he's comfortable in it and at the last race last year he was in proper battles with dan lloyd, mikey doble and beating dan, gave him a big confidence boost

@WilliamsdbF1 Technically Barclays sponsored my first year of racing as a PPI refund paid for a large chunk of the car and race gear 😂
I wonder if Williams sponsorship team fancy finding a local racer some sponsorship as It would be nice to not be paying for almost everything

@Orange_Grove1 @kelvmackenzie Minimum I can set it on my van is 25mph

[Simon welch @squelchy1]

@SwimGarySwim @WilliamsF1 Both Aston Martin and Ferrari have said they are not running on the first day as well, Ferrari said they may also not run on the second day.
the teams can only only run for 3 out of the 5 days as its a unofficial shakedown not an official test

It can't be any worse, hopefully much better
