I'm dreading hearing the engines for the first time...
By the third GP sushifiesta you'll barely notice the difference.

Mercedes and STR ran their cars today apparently in the guise of 'filming' days. Mercedes at Silverstone, STR not sure where.

And Nico Hulkenberg drove the Force India VJM07 at Silverstone today too.
Milton Keynes. Paint an RB10 in STR livery, run it and then STR are punished when they've run the illegal test.
Sounds like an illegal test to me...
Has anyone else noticed that 'filming days' produce almost zero films.

True. Is there anything in the rules that stipulates that they have to show any footage to anyone?
Nothing about actually having to show any footage or promotional material from a PE day. Nuffin.

That's just sky with HD no sports or movies. Would you believe if I cancel off season and rejoin or change my deal (or if you are a new customer) you HAVE to have SkySports to get SkyF1! ****ers. I got it at the right time when you just needed HD.

Oh dear, they've lost the nose of that Force india. That's a shame.
Marussia won't be there, well the team will be but not the car, not for the first day at least.
