2012 Formula One British Grand Prix

[Adrian Britton]

From the bbc just in on flood warnings....

And the managing director of the Formula 1 Silverstone has asked 20,000 fans with tickets for Saturday's qualifying races not to go to the event because of the "atrocious, muddy conditions".

On Friday, traffic outside was gridlocked as the first practice session for the British Grand Prix took place, with some visitors stranded in their cars on the A43 because they could not get into car parks because of flooding.

This is ridiculas.
I would be well ticked off, if I bought a ticket and was then told not to come.
