Just put a little nerve gas in all the orange flares, that should solve the problem.
Rivalries’ are being created for clicks, shares and likes now though.
Verstappen commented on this about the Netflix series, and that its edited to make comments and things folks say to be taken out of context its done wonders for the viewing numbers, but even on pretty well established F1 sites the comments sometimes aren't pretty.
edit: I can see the same thing happen in Pro cycling. There was a minor controversy about WvA throwing his bottle in frustration at the end of stage on Monday that was mostly driven by an offhand answer to question on the new (again) Netflix series. I see they're doing the same for Tennis as well.
Where do we think Sonny Hayes will place this weekend then? Win from the pits, or enormous accident?
Tobi Gruner just confirmed on Twitter that Austria T9 and T10 will have gravel traps next year. Moto GP were asked and are "okay with it".
Where do we think Sonny Hayes will place this weekend then?
I'm expecting an incident with Joshua Pearce that makes sonny question his ability to get back to his former glory, but after going through tough times Sonny will probably nail it in an emotional finale at the last race.
Jenny Gow interviewing Lewis Hamilton on the Chequered Flag podcast.....
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0fzh976
Amazing to hear her back and I'm finding it quite an emotional listen just because it's her first interview since her stroke.
Hopefully kicking off a good weekend of F1.
Ah that's great, love jenny - really missed her on the 5 live coverage.
Great Q1!
Another wonderful qualifying performance from Perez
And Albon looks like a giant-killer.
Great quali for Mclaren!
The was good!
Perez out of a race seat before the end of the season?
At the end of the season rather than before would be my bet.
Recovery drives through the pack seem to be his specialty.
ISTR a joke in last seasons thread was about Horner having to say "great recovery drive Checo..." on the radio at every race 😆
Looks like Piastri made the right choice after all!
Yeah McLaren have done an awesome job, brilliant turnaround! They've made an enormous step. Love it
Great to see McLaren improving, but too early to say whether it's track and condition specific or whether McLaren and Ferrari can keep their tyres alive over a full race distance in hotter conditions. There was only about .25 of a second between Norris in second and Hamilton in seventh, quite likely that second fastest team will keep changing race by race.
but too early to say whether it’s track and condition specific
Oh, I think we can pretty much say that yesterday's result was 1. the track suits the car, and 2. the McLaren gets its fronts up to temp pretty rapidly when it's cooler.
There were many annoying fans at Silverstone last year obsessed with Lewis against Max, the constant girly gibbering like cheerleaders got on my fxxxxxg nerves, the minute Verstappen had a problem could hardly hear the cars for the cheers lots of hate. Away back to watch Spurs v Arsenal
I suppose back in the days of Nigel Mansell Nelson Piquet it might have been as bad probably worse
I really wish he had been 😱
Whose stupid idea was that 🤦🏻♂️
Yep, what the merry hell was that all about 😂😂😂🫣
Well it was nice while it lasted.
What a cracking race! Really enjoyed watching the whole thing start to finish on C4!
The McLaren’s showed some amazing race pace, well done to them. Feel for Piastri, if it wasn’t for the Safety car he would have got 3rd! Great driving by Lando to get head at the start and also keeping
I wonder if Hamilton will be giving Zak Brown a call to get a ride for next year?
That was a great race - some excellent overtakes and… Go Lando! Superb! McLaren are back… (maybe!)
That's two years on the trot cracking races at Silverstone, so much better than many of the circuits where money rules. Bernie was always threatening the circuit when he ran the show
What a race, Norris and Hamilton in second and third is a great result and 11 wins on the bounce for RB is amazing, Hats off to them.
Oh and another ‘what was that from Damien Lewis?’ 😳😬😂
Great driving by Lando to get head at the start and also keeping
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think that's maybe the only possible way the start could have been better for Lando TBH 🤔🤣
Live feed from the Ferrari strategy department.
I heard in the commentary that Ferrari's strategy decisions haven't been good for the last "couple of races". My first thought was "you mean last couple of seasons", then changed my mind to "last couple of decades".

It's never been a favourite circuit of mine but that was indeed an excellent race, helped by a number of closely matched cars.
Went to Silverstone for the weekend with the family. We stayed at windmill farm which was around 10-15 mins walk from Copse corner. We went GA this year as the grandstand ticket prices were insane this year. Nearly double what we paid last year.
It was a fantastic weekend of racing. The F3 and F2 races were great and then the main event was full of action. The crowd was buzzing when Lando beat Max off the start and into the first corner. The whole weekend it felt like Lando is fast becoming the new Silverstone crowd favourite. He certainly got the biggest cheer from the main stage crowd in the interviews we had after the race.
Highlight of the weekend though was total confusion Will.I.Am had when around 100,000 people were singing “Oh Yuki Tsunoda” (to seven nation army) throughout the Black eyed peas set on Saturday night. He even got down off the stage to ask the crowd what they were singing. They seemed to find it all pretty funny.

On paper it doesn’t look like it should be anything special, but it consistently makes for classic racing up and down the field, especially in recent years. I think it’s the circuit I look forward to the most.

I think it's similar to Monaco, but the exact mirror image. It just rewards high speed performance so you don't need a well-rounded car to be fast. The Williams is the perfect example - fast in a straight line and not hampered by lack of downforce. Monaco is the opposite, high-speed performance is irrelevant, the only thing that matters is how much downforce you can crank on. Plus, as Perez showed, the driver has to be able to extract the performance from the car.
I dunno, I’d say Monza is the opposite of Monaco. Silverstone has a wide variety of corners which force people to mix it up in close racing, from a choice of lines through Brooklands and Luffield to playing chicken into Copse. Monza only has the run round Curva Grande where anyone can do anything of interest, and at Monaco you don’t need to bother moving off the racing line at all to defend a position.
Speaking of Monza, though, it will be interesting to see how both Williams and McLaren perform there… wonder what the odds are on a Norris/Piastri/Albon podium 😀

❗️ Nyck de Vries immediately sent away from AlphaTauri. Daniel Ricciardo will replace him in Hungary next week. De Vries' adventure with sister team Red Bull has therefore only lasted ten races. ⬇️
Autosport and others are running articles which essentially say "Other people have said..." but I can't find anything concrete from the team or De Vries himself.
Chris Medland thinks it's true, he's trustworthy

A shame if true, another promising talent chewed up by the RB machine.
It's been announced by alphatauri
Fun to see Daniel back on the grid. Shame the car's a bit of dog though
Looking at the WCC table and seeing SAT nailed to the foot with 2 points, Alpha on 9, HASF1 and a resurgent Williams on 11 they really had to do something to try and turn their season around. Hopefully Ric is the answer and puts himself in the frame for a full RB seat next year!
