Sunday Warm-up - British GP

Sunday April 23rd, 2000

McLaren's David Coulthard set the fastest time in the warm-up session towards the British Grand Prix today. The session was delayed by more than an hour and a half on Sunday because of fog.

Local radio reports said traffic jams stretched back 10 kilometres from Silverstone as thousands of fans struggled to reach the track. McLaren boss Ron Dennis was also stuck in traffic.

Police warned fans that if they had not left home by 08:00 GMT they would not arrive in time for the race.  "If you haven't already left home or you are not yet in a stationary traffic queue then don't attempt to get to Silverstone," said chief inspector Mark Barrow. 

Those drivers at the back of the queues faced a five-hour wait to get in to Silverstone, he said.
