Regardless of the dominance of Mercedes this has been a cracking race.

Another race won by the SC......

Still best race of the year.
Whether it was a VSC or SC still would have delivered HAM the win.

I think Austria was better.

Just back from the track. Wow - what an event, that was truly something special. I was there the last three days, this is just on another scale compared to Melbourne (which I also loved and am looking forward to the next one). I knew Silverstone would be good but wasn't quite prepared for the scale of this thing. Spent a lot of Saturday checking out different grandstands, sightlines were good all over. Very happy with Village B for the race which was turns 2, 3, & 4. You can see over to the other side from there, so you are getting a lot of track for your money. I don't really do 'bucket lists' but look - if I did this was solidly on there. Just amazing.

One major difference from Melbourne was crowd-support: gee they really give it up for Lewis. We could learn from that a bit.

Q1: So VET now starting at the back of the grid.
Reasonable time from RIC.

On with Q2 ...

RIC 13th.

Very, very tight (~0.03) covering most of the midfield.....

Sounds like a few teams have brought some improvements to Hockenheim. That should spice things up a bit.

 

[docjames]

After MB and RB shared 1-4, a different team in every position from 5-10 too....

Currently racing In Hockenheim. That’ll make the start exciting!

Do you mean raining, because it's a bit early for the race?

Shame for Dan. A dry start would have been better with his forced tyre choice, then rain after those starting on soft pit

Whoops yes raining !

 

[JessicaTam]

Starting behind the safety car. Haven't seen that for ages.

 

[JessicaTam]

And more rain on the way.

 

[JessicaTam]

Damn Renault engine! Poor RIC can't win a trick.

 

[JessicaTam]

And another one bites the dust.

 

[kelvedon]

HUL just threw away a podium ?

 

[JessicaTam]

Did STR just go from near last to first in 3 laps?
