There will now just be a single practice session before a regular qualifying session on Friday evening to decide the grid for the sprint race. Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto thinks that, with the additional complication of a new rear tyre construction being introduced, there is potential for a lot of engineering headaches. "We have got a new tyre specification at Silverstone, which we tested in Austria, but most of the teams need to have some more experience on it," he explained. "There will be very little time for it because it's only the Friday morning [practice session] before going into qualifying – so you are really going straight into qualifying with the new spec. "It's a new format, there is very little experience because it is parc ferme from Friday afternoon onwards, and that's really exciting. It could be exciting.

^^ I was thinking it might be a McLaren thing as Jensen got held up in Brazil some years back. And then there was the whole thing about getting robbed in a hotel room or whatever when he was passed out. But then I remembered that Bernie got beat-up over an expensive watch in London a few years back. :-) No one will ever mug me for my $59 Casio ... |

$59 will get you a G-Shock, if you have $12 you can get one of these, Casio sells millions.  |

McLaren drivers usually wear Richard Mille watches. They are super expensive. Start at around $50k and can hit one million+. $$$$$$$$$..... I think it was his personalized McLaren RM :( That's worth north of $600k. Where does a crook go to pawn that? |

One report said he was accosted as he got into his car. One would imagine that you would park your McLaren in a secure lot!

If Lando offers a $500 reward, he will get his watch back in no time.
I am surprised they didnt take his $1M Mclaren car too.
Lesson learned, when going to a soccer game, dress cheaper and bring your Rolex
