Since Luca had been advised to refrain from any rigorous car action for about six days, the team at Trampos saw no issue in letting him travel ahead to London for the British Grand Prix. Whether he chose to stay in Germany and rest or fly early to the UK, the choice was his. There would be no drills for him, no simulator runs, no media demands till race weekend began. That was actually rare freedom for an F1 driver at this time of the year.
After weighing his options, Luca decided he didn't want to waste the time cooped up in Berlin, so he thought heading to London might be the more fulfilling option. After all, the British GP was going to be one of the crown jewels of the calendar, and he wasn't sure how long the teams would remain stationed there after the race.
