    Queen Elizabeth flashes live on the podium as is traditional and the Brits go wild .....

    in Silverstone definitely wont be Bottas in front, because the Brotherhood would start a riot.... The RB are getting stronger and stronger, hope Ferrari gives Kimi a good car, they need to get the 2 cars collecting good points if they want the manufacturers crown, if not they are going to be caught by red bull....

    And Alonso is getting the Spec 3 engine this weekend too. Should be good for half of FP1 before exploding into a fireball.

    Hamilton did not show up for London parade. Reason is the promoter refused to pay him for that day. So I agree with Hamilton, why give a day of your life for free

    Seriously. Why give anything back to the industry that has made you fabulously wealthy, in the epicenter of your fan base. What was that promoter even thinking?

    Your fanboy is showing. Hammy only cares about the $$$, and not his fans, despite them being "the best."

    I wouldn't call the aeroscreen nice, but it is the least ugly.

    All I ask is that they allow the drivers the choice to run them or not.

    This is incorrect, and exactly how media propaganda works to sell hot stories - Hamilton had no problem using his images, and they used it, he even clarified this in the conference. I agree he should have been there, but may be his schedule was already pre-made before this London Live event idea was put forward by Liberty - so without knowing that, all we are doing is commenting on stuff we do not know.

    He also put journos in the drivers meeting right at their place when someone asked him if he did not feel important to miss such an event and engage with fans - he said- i do a lot of that, and off track i have a lot that i give to charities and spend time with under privileged kids, but you probably wont report that, because that will not sell your news.

    Then the journo goes - but dont you think, if you had come there are people who cant afford to come to races and who were present at the event - it would have made perfect sense for you to attend it - to t his he said - well i goto kids who are in hospitals and who really can not come to races - so that should answer your question

    again this is all blown out of proportaion

    wish they would do this F1 live in different cities, like NYC. Oh, and we couldn't host a F1 race in the NY/NJ area, but are having the Formula E round in Brooklyn this weekend.....

    Hamilton gets away with another brake check.

    Not true, doesn't mater what Hamilton said the reason is. Hamilton is a brand. There are people who pay Hamilton to show up on events. He simply won't do it for free. If the fans want to see him then go pay a ticket at Silverstone. I red Damon Hill's book where he wrote a whole chapter about this.

    Haha, Jacques Villeneuve has been barred from Williams' 40th anniversary parties. He won't be allowed into the Williams motorhome even with his history with Williams (he got the team their 100th win at Silverstone), after his idiotic rants and offensive remarks about Lance Stroll.

    Serves that douchebag right!

    Damon Hill might be an even bigger dbag than Hammy, so I'm not sure how much anyone cares about his opinion.

    Nice work by Mercedes, deserved 1-2. The thug Vettel tries to ram mad Max, locks up while Bottas hunts him and destroys his tires. They shouldve given this dumbo some more penalty points on his license.

    Yeah, Mercedes is waaaay up front. The championship battle is between Hammy and Bottas.

    For being Sebastian. You must be new, this is how vamp has been since the Baku incident lol. On another topic sucked to see the BOT RAI battle fizzle out once Kimi got his flat, lucky to be on the podium though. Other than that, pretty uneventful race. I'd like to see Seb and Louise trade wins again for a bit, but I want my scarlet cars to get it together and win the constructors, but we'd need a silver slump which isn't likely given their track record. Always pulling for Seb though. Forza Ferrari
