Footnote: This meeting uses the “old” GP circuit and therefore includes Bridge. Asst ed once stopped the late Denis Jenkinson and asked him where to watch qualifying from – he recommended Bridge. It is widely regarded as a great, classic corner and the only reason it’s been dropped is so that Bernie’s lot can park their Paddock Club somewhere a bit flatter and bigger.
