Static displays at the British Grand Prix are usually abysmal and this year, once again, was no exception to the rule. 

However, the local constabulary make a good attempt to make up for it with Northamptonshire Police having a number of vehicles on site.

As per usual there was a very visible armed presence at the entrance gates to Silverstone and one of the contingent was this BMW X5 ARV (Armed Response Vehicle) demonstrator that is currently on trial with the force.

The British Grand Prix was held as a part of the UK Government's Events Research Programme, which meant a capacity crowd at a sporting event in the UK for the first time since early 2020 and no social distancing or face coverings required at the meeting. 

Taking place on the day before pretty much all lockdown restrictions were lifted in England all attendees had to demonstrate that they had tested negative for Covid-19 from tests taken within 48 hours of the event or prove that they had had both vaccination jabs 14 days before arrival.

I can't tell you how good it felt to experience some sort of 'normality' after so long. The scorching summer weather made it even better!
