    Ole Seb Vettel needs 25 here, but Mercedes is coming with a chip on their shoulder. Could be a procession here.

    When was the last time Merc wasn’t leading manufacturer championship? Has it happened in hybrid era? Toto is playing a risky game orchestrating this years title chase.

    Not surprised and not sympathetic. Never cared for him.

    Same - he was not proactive with anything during his tenure there.

    McLaren is a bit of a joke right now. I just don't see Alonso sticking around after this season. I've been wrong before though.

    Alonso, while a phenomenal driver, seems to always make bad career moves. If he goes to Indy or WEC, McLaren is guaranteed to win the drivers and constructors championship.

    I would love to see him back at Renault, paired with Hulkenburg, next year.

    Great qualy, really really close between the top 3, but as usual the Sky commentators talking about hammertime and his ability to master qualifying.

    Plus then all the show of his trembling, and bowing down, worse than a football player after scoring a goal.

    Alonso's F1 racing window will be closed soon and with his interest focusing on Indy and LeMans, he will stay put. Zak Brown is allowing him to race in other series to keep him around to help with the F1 side. Since McLaren has been looking at Indy and with all of thier road cars, there might be a factory team in LeMans series soon.

    I'm hopeful for a good race at Sliverstone and it will be interesting to see how bad the gap is between the top 6 to 7-20.

    Specially with the new prototype regs, cars looking like their showroom versions

    That Raikkonen penalty is total crap.

    Damn, Hitman Raikkonen. He admitted fault and said he deserved the penalty, so drop that bong m3fuz. Raikkonen is back next year after this. Enzo would not approve. These prancing donkey drivers are first lap degenerates for sure. Great recovery by the Legend. Tyre advantage for the thug Vettel at the end.

    That was just a racing incident, only when a Mercedes is involved the drivers get a penalty. If it was Bottas or LH it wouldn't even get a second look.
    And then you see all the mercedes powered cars move over for Hamilton, not even trying to defend....
    It was a mega drive from Vettel and Ferrari, reminds of the Schumi era.
    And where was the diva going? To cry in the corner?

    If Austria was a great race, this one was phenomenal.

    Vamp, I’ll put the bong down when you take Lewis’s you-know-what out of your mouth. It was a racing accident, and yes, Kimi accepted responsibility because that’s what adults do.

    No, the Legend was going to interact with the fans son. Any true racer knows the Hitman was engaged fully...to take out the Legend. Sad. Thug had quicker tyre at the end. Merc strategy guys deserve some blame there.

    Nah, the old man cannot react as fast anymore. The Laggard accepted fault because he up. Leclerc should be installed pronto.

    -For Christian Horner to say in the Pre-race show that it's hard to pass at Silverstone, and Jenson Button to say post-race in a modern F1 car shows how bad current F1 cars need to change. 2003 era areo would be a good target.
    -Kimi should have manned up to Hamilton first chance, in the pit or in the room before the podium.
    -Penalties are inconsistent.
    -Why would a driver in the back or mid-field want to hold up a front-runner coming through the field? To say those customer engine cars only did is false. To hold them up in a much slower car and slow their own pace would be stupid.

    Going to interact with the fans? Anyone watching the broadcast knows he went straight up to the cool down room and was there for a while by himself. He didn’t do his “best fans” routine until after the podium. Maybe watch the whole broadcast next time.

    Kimi was trying to intentionally take out Hammy in lap 1? How could they have planned for that? Did they guess Hammy would have another lukewarm start from pole?
