We have been told there is a market in Iseo town centre so we head of along the combined pedestrian/cyclepath again towards town. The villa we saw yesterday, and thought was semi-derelict but very attractive, has its big iron gates open and a car on the drive so obviously someone is either living there or renovating it. We find the market taking place under the watchful gaze of Garibaldi, whose statue towers above the stalls in the square. There is the usu...

From 06:30 we can hear the sounds of tents, caravans and motorhomes being packed up and moving out. There are still about 25 left when we get underway at 10:10 heading for Lake Iseo. We choose not to use the autostrada and hope for a scenic drive, but the road from Monza goes through suburb after suburb. In places the road is appalling; potholes, deformation and cracking, and the answer seems to be to put up uneven surface signs and 30 or 20kph signs. As the ...

This morning is much busier and much more controlled than Friday and Saturday. In the wheelchair stand they are making sure it's one companion only and the companion is given a wristband to allow them out and back during the day. We are fairly early and get a good position just after the GP3 race starts. The race is won by British driver Dean Stoneman with another Brit, Alex Lynn, second. This is followed by GP2 where the race is controlled from the front a...

We are up in good time after a decent sleep. We reach the stand in time for GP3 qualifying. This is followed by F1 third practice.

British drivers Hamilton and Button are both going well, Hamilton just beating Italy's hero Ferarri driver Alonso. The Porsches run again then it's the F1 qua...

The music stopped at one o'clock this morning with a big finish of Bohemian Rhapsody and an air-raid siren. Slightly jaded we are ready to go into the autodrome at 9:30 and we are in the stand at the beginning of the pit-straight by 10:00 We have an excellent view and enjoy a full day of action with two Formula 1 practice sessions, GP2 practice and qualifying, GP3 practice and a Porsche supercup race which is just underway when it rains, but not enough to...
