I know this is off topic but Silverstone Circuit really gets me wound up. Why oh why are there corners named, Abbey, Copse, Becketts & Maggots and straights named Wellington and Hangar? The answer is often because of history that has little or nothing to do with motor-racing, Wellington and Hangar being references to the time it was an airfield in the war and Abbey because some remains of an abbey were found close-by.
Surely most parts of the circuit should be renamed after the greats of British F1 and motor racing. It's good that the Hamilton straight is there but what about Hawthorn, Moss, Stewart and the Hills or, my personal favorite, Clark and Mansell . Non drivers like Chapman, Tyrrell, Williams, Newey & Barnard could also get a mention.
Maybe British F1 fans could lobby for some name changes.Ofcourse there might be arguments about who should be recognised in this way because there are not enough features to go round but that in itself wouldn't be a bad thing.
Britain has a wonderful motorsport history & it should be celebrated.
Rant over.
