      Lewis and hopefully George will now be relevant

      If it was Silverstone every week it could be but other tracks defo favour Red Bull & Ferrari. Both teams are still faster than the Mercs,

      The level of drama and racing that Silverstone has provided the past few years has been sensational. It has to be the number 1 GP on the calendar.

      A wonderful afternoon of racing.

      Fantastic race but Ferrari keep getting it wrong for Leclerc.
      First Monaco and now this.
      Credit to Sainz for telling the team where to go with the
      ridiculous team orders before the restart.

      And that sadly is why they can’t win it this year, Stappen  will have a easy ride to winning his first F1 Championship.

      Yeah no doubting improvements have been made but still not on a par with the two teams above them. Mercs have just closed the gap, slightly.

      Anyone else reckon Verstappen got a bit cheeky defending against Mick Schumacher at the end there? Moved twice when charging down the Wellington Straight on one occasion.

      Conpare with the cleanliness of the fight involving Lewis, Checo snd Leclerc and you see that last year's problems between Lewis and Max was more of a case of being Max's problem, which any sane, rational person knew anyway.

      That's a problem that will rear it's head again in future until he sorts it out.

      Yeah I noticed, probably got away with it coz of who he is which doesn’t make it right. Good as he is will never be on a par with Lewis as he’s the finished article and doesn’t lose the plot under race conditions.

      Max has always been a dangerous driver, but people refused to see it last year because of one incident that was Lewis' fault (Silverstone - and it 100% was). All other incidents were down to Max - most notably Monza and Interlagos.

      He's a sore loser.

      No incidents at the front and Max hits Mick 4 times.
      A problem that keeps occurring because of who the driver is.
      Ridiculous that they've let it go this far without doing anything about it.

      Max makes a career out of last year's Copse incident. Racing incident at best for me as Lewis could have moved the few inches of space to the right and still have been clobbered such wss Max's reckless door closing antics. If it was Lewis's front left wheel that was taken off rather than Max ending it in the barriers then the penalty would have been given the other way.

      He needs to get a grip

      That’s why Stappen fits in well with RB, tainted from the same brush.

      cracking GP Lewis in the frame for the win and maybe George could have been competitive too.

      Sainz is ahead of LeClerc now so maybe Ferrari will stop putting him behind LeClerc.
      Another improvement from Merc and they will be right in the mix.

      LeClerc will get more points than Sainz this year Walt. Sainz will do well to last the season out with Ferrari.

      Only just got to watch the gp. A few thoughts...

      First things first, congrats to Sainz. First victory, but it definitely wasn't his best race. Leclerc was much faster all race long. But a good strategy call at the end gave him the win. I really didn't like Leclerc constantly whining on the radio though and he got a deserved bollocking by Binotto after the race.

      Zhou is massively lucky he hit the barrier with the bottom of the car. I think it softened the impact a bit. It looked really nasty, thank goodness for the halo.

      Verstappen was up to his usual dirty tricks with Schumacher. How he continues to escape penalties is just a joke at this point...

      Hamilton could have won this. First, the messed up pit stop is starting to become a recurring theme with Mercedes, they always mess up at the worst time. Second, the safety car meant he didn't get to take advantage of his longer first stint and his fresher hard tyres. I dare say he would have won without the SC.

      It seems Russell got screwed by the marshalls. He ran away from his car to check on Zhou (good on him to do so, btw, although the crash is probably a bit on him), and when he came back, marshalls had started to work on his car which meant he couldn't restart (he said there was only a puncture, so it was still drivable enough to go back to the pits).
      It would have been interesting to see him potentially get into the fight as well.

      I wouldn’t take too much optimism about Mercedes good form at Silverstone. I said before the weekend it was always going to be one of their best tracks this season (same with France). I do hope they'll prove me wrong though and will be able to extract that level of performances at other venues.

      Last but not least, the way the two Alpha Tauris clashed together was just so stupidely funny...  ;D

      It's the aggressive swiping and running off the road antics that are just not cool. He was fortunate that he came up against a cautious Mick who was intent on scoring his first points above all else. Otherwise, that would have ended up in calamity.
