MURRAY WALKER ON THE BRITISH GRAND PRIX
------------------------------------------------------------

The British Grand Prix is going to be a very sad and emotional
experience for me because it looks like this is going to be the last one
held  at Silverstone.

The place means so much to me, I did my very first broadcast from there
and I've seen every race since 1949.

There have been some fabulous drivers to win at Silverstone like Alberto
Ascari, Jackie Stewart, Jim Clark, Graham Hill...I could rattle off the
names forever.

This year, in light of what has happened so far this season, it looks
like Brawn are going to be in pretty good shape to make it seven out of
eight wins.

Jenson Button would love to make it another one in his home Grand Prix.

His team-mate Rubens Barrichello will probably regard this as his last
chance to keep his world championship hopes alive.

If he doesn't do well at Silverstone I think there is every likelihood
that Ross Brawn will ask him to act as a rear gunner for Jenson so that
they can be sure that he will win the championship.

You can never ever overlook Ferrari.

Although they started off very poorly, of the major teams and by which I
mean McLaren, BMW, Renault and Williams, they have made the best
progress.

What they were lacking so far was downforce, but they've now got a
double diffuser and they are making improvements all the time.

McLaren, on the other hand, are really down in the dumps.

They have got a bad car and they have got to make a descion very soon
about whether they start developing the new car from scratch for 2010 or
try and make the 2009 car go faster.

It's a bitter blow for Lewis Hamilton. He was a magnificent winner here
last year, but he has got about as much chance of winning this time
round as I have.

But anything could happen in Formula One and it usually does.

Enjoy your weekend,

Murray
