Silverstone ready to unweil new wings....
The new pit and paddock complex at Silverstone is on the verge of completion.
Having secured a 17-year deal to host the British GP, the British Racing Drivers' Club commissioned the construction of a £27million 'wing' that is made up of hospitality suites, a media centre and a new spectator area, 41 garages, the race control building and the podium.
"It's been a bit of a rollercoaster getting here but we are finally up and running," BRDC president Damon Hill told Radio 4's Today programme.
"This year's grand prix and all the major international events will take place using the new facility.
"Silverstone has got a right to a permanent place on the calendar and so we hope this is a long-term thing that will make the circuit smart," he added.
Newey says puncture killed Senna.
Red Bull designer Adrian Newey believes that a puncture was the most likely cause of the crash that killed Aryton Senna and that it nearly made him leave F1.
Newey was the man responsible for the design of the FW16 that Senna was driving on the fateful day at Imola when the Brazilian legend was killed in a single-car accident.
The Briton admits that the incident has a tremendous impact on him, so much so that he still is unable to watch footage of the accident.
