This Wednesday, certain drivers were able to take advantage of the local resources surrounding the Silverstone circuit, the latter being located in the heart of a particularly rich region for motor sports since no less than four F1 teams have their headquarters there, not to mention the hundreds of subcontractors.
Therefore, Luca marini (Sky Racing Team VR46), Sam Lowes (Swiss Innovative Investors), Danny Kent (+Ego Speed Up Racing Team), Isaac Viñales (Forward Racing Team), Bo Bendsneyder (Tech3 Racing), Joe Roberts (NTS RW Racing GP) and John mcphee (CIP – Green Power) went to the Triumph factory in Hinckley located a little further north to witness the engine that will equip the Moto2s next year being put to the test bench.

Meanwhile, the holders of Team Sprinta Petronas are Adam Noroddin, Ayumu Sasaki et Niki Tuuli visited the Mercedes F1 team headquarters in Brackley, 5 miles from the circuit.
For the occasion, they took their motorcycles for a little demonstration while in exchange, George Russell, the British team's reserve driver, explained to them, among other things, all the subtleties of a Formula 1 steering wheel.
