Bernd Mayl nder may not be a name you"re overly familiar with, but it ought to be. He"s the one man able to get in front of Lewis Hamilton on a Formula 1 circuit anytime he wants. He"s the driver of the Mercedes-AMG GT R safety car. Mayl nder is delighted Silverstone"s contract has been extended, too. "The first Grand Prix was here in 1950," he told Top Gear on the morning of 2019"s race. "I think it"s not a good sign if they say no, we don"t race here anymore". "During the race we"re sat in the car with two screens, we can see the G-forces and everything. In Austria I was absolutely awake as it was a fantastic race in France I was sleeping. I said to my co-driver Richard if I"m starting to snore, let me know".
