It's steep up or steep down everywhere on the circuit. Even the pit lane is steeper than you'd think.

    Reminded me of a real family visit at a Silverstone race. All of us had Ferrari shirts on except for our smallest one, barely school age. He liked the name Truelli and thus had a Renault shirt. We ended up in a Ferrari corner and the other fans loved him so much that they pushed him forward all the way to the front so that he could see better - a single, small blue/yellow spot in a sea of red. I bet Schumacher and Barrichello must have noticed it.
