Silverstone prepares for war

Silverstone, Thursday 17 June. T-minus 48 hours. With the distinct possibility that Sunday’s British Grand Prix could be contested between just Force India and Williams, the United Nations have taken the precaution of sending in a peacekeeping force just in… case things turn nasty.

With the deadline for the teams to start behaving set by the FIA at close of business on Friday, there is a real risk that the FOTA teams may boycott the race which would no doubt go down a treat with 90,000 excitable Jenson Button fans.

According to the officer in charge of the peacekeeping corps, Major Hertz van Rental, troops have set up defences at Copse Corner, Stowe, Brooklands and in the small space between the FIA motorhome and the rest of the paddock.

Said the Major today; “If the race does end up being hit by a boycott of the FOTA members then Sunday at Silverstone will make Bosnia look like a tea party”
