Is this signs of pace from Merc…? Lando and Lewis in the top three for FP2? Come on George, my prediction is hanging on you…
(Yeah, I know FP2 times after a wet FP1 are going to be spectacularly meaningless.)
Anyone see Danny MacAskill being part of Sky’s buildup to FP1? Front flipping his way around…
EDIT
Love the fact Vettel bought Mansells FW14b and driving it at Silverstone this weekend.
Bought it and converted it to run on a bio fuel.
Yes. Assuming it still sounds amazing.
He'd rather be driving the Williams as opposed to the Aston Martin, both out in Q1.
Latiffi through to Q3!!
Hamilton looking genuinely competitive!
Sainz on pole!

Thrilled for him, hard to believe he's done 150 races. First lap should be expensive exciting.
Trivia question
Has anyone taken their first pole and first win on the same weekend? If so who and when?
Maldonado?
Dr Guiseppe Farina. 🙂 There may be a more recent example...
Farina was the first to do it. Britain, 1950.
Maldonado the most recent. Spain 2012.
I can't think of any others off the top of my head, anyone else got any ideas?.
Jaques Villeneurve came very close, just an oil leak stopped him winning.
Mark Webber won the one after his first pole
TWITTER.COM Nasty bump in the F2 race and the halo doing it’s job again. Sausage curb launched a car that went off and then ended up on top of the car they had the initial contact with. Slow mo was scary.
Well, I for one am shocked - SHOCKED - that F1 teams would look for technical loopholes in order to gain an advantage.
Is floor flexing that easy to police? If so, why has it taken the FIA half a season to figure out? @NaturalParadigm@ScarbsTech
F1 flexi-floor exploit revelations a "shocker", says Mercedes

Sam Ryder should be sent to the Tower for that National anthem! 🤣🤣
Impressive that he kept producing music from his guitar whilst doing fistpumps though.
Hadn’t realised it was on C4 today - delighted 😀
Edit: ****!
Bit concerned that it's been a few minutes and still no replay or shot of Zhou walking away from that
Right way to handle it from F1, but yeah concerning when you don’t see anything at all
That looked nasty. Fingers crossed for him

Let's hope they are just being cautious
Standard practice now, they won’t show any live pictures of drivers being extracted until they know for sure it’s not life threatening and driver is OK.
He’s removed and ok. Thank **** for that.
Removed and on a stretcher is what they said isn’t it? Hopefully ok as you say though
Wonder what’s broken on Russell’s car? Just looks like a tyre but he was very quick to park it
That was definitely worrying.
How deep are the gravel traps and how do the halos protect if you go through them upside down?
Christ:
If that’s the catch fencing broken this isn’t starting for a long time.

Good spot, looks like it’s at least bent
Climate Change protesters have also now stormed the track on Hanger Straight so that could add an additional delay.
Yikes, jumped the tyres!

hes currently arguing with the race organiser that he stopped to help out, not coz he was borked, and doesn’t know why they put the car on the back of a lorry. In his defence, he did run straight over to the scene of the crash after he stopped.
few pairs of clean pants needed in row 1 of the stand!
How are restarts working these days? Rolling start?
Think this will be a standing start. They seem to make it up as they go along though! 😀
Rolling starts are usual when the cars have been trundling round behind the safety car.
Looked to me like Russell closed the gap on Gasly when Gasly was already in it. I wonder if he will get sanctioned later?
Anyone know the outcome of Lewis and his nose ring?
Did he take it out or have they backed down?
He took it out earlier in the weekend

With the 3 hour limit (who knows how long this race will even be now) a rolling start makes way more sense to me to try and make absolutely sure there isn’t a second red flag

Don’t think so, think it’ll stay a racing incident as he was being swamped

Thanks👍
So Albon gone to hospital. I'd be amazed if some don't miss the next race due to concussion.
Very lucky no more injuries
A few drops of rain would be nice! 🌧🌧
