F1 2021 – spoilers here

manged the apex this time…. strange that

Wasn’t being forced against the wall, much wider entry, less fuel.

But, but, but – that’s not a corner you overtake into. Christian says so, and he’s never wrong.

Can’t believe the pace Ferrari have here

Not that strange, he didn’t have another car compromising his entry.

Lewis really isn’t doing enough though.

The new cars can’t come quickly enough. Watching the timing you can see nobody can follow.

Meh, close to a racing incident but the stewards though there was enough from LH to warrant a penalty.

The way Red Bull were going on you’d have thought LH saw Max at the side of the track and purposefully ran him over.

Exciting last handful of laps coming up 🙂

Not Copse again – we need a close-up on Horner! 🙂

Watch and learn Christian, watch and learn 😉

BOOM!!

Not Copse again – we need a close-up on Horner! 🙂

😂😂

Apparently you shouldn’t overtake there 😂🤣

Hope Hamilton mentions Horner’s ridiculous statement that you can’t overtake at Copse in his winner’s interview!

That was one hell of a chase down of LeClerc, properly earned the win regardless.

Yes Lewis! Mansell-esque scenes with the Union Jack there.

Fair play! 🙂

Get in there Lewis

Fair play! 🙂

hardly. Benefiting from shunting his rival off the track

I see to remember everyone on here bleating like hell when others do it

took about 16 secs in 10 laps out of Leclerc

That was an exciting race

hardly. Benefiting from shunting his rival off the track

Oh, give over – as has now been amply demonstrated, you CAN overtake at Copse. Just need to be alongside and not have someone turn in on you. 🙂

So what’s the Perez penalty? Max has served his already and I’m glad he’s ok.

Good on Lewis for bringing it home for an incredible win but 130,000 fans packed into the circuit and not a mask to be seen?, surely it’s just common sense to err on the side of caution.

Horner still doubling down in that you can’t overtake into copse, the bloke is just a really sore loser. He’s the main reason I don’t like the RedBull team as a whole.

Horner is so full of shit. Lewis shouldn’t overtake blah blah blah.

I am certain that if the position had been reversed it would still have been LH’s fault according to Red Bull 🙂

I don’t understand this “That’s not a corner you overtake on” from Red Bull

That’s not what they said, though. They said “it’s not a corner where you stick a wheel up the inside”. Which (to my mind at least) means if you’re going to make a move, you’d better have it all wrapped up good and proper, because a half-hearted attempt is what’s dangerous. We’ve seen plenty of overtaking at Copse, especially in recent years, but it has to be signed, sealed and delivered.

I think part of the issue here is the two setups: the Red Bull has been a fair bit faster in the corners all weekend whereas Mercedes have been running less wing. That meant Verstappen was later on the brakes, which is where it started to unravel. They were very, very briefly level—or seemed to be—and then Hamilton had to scrub speed first.

Racing incident? Yeah. More responsibility at Hamilton’s door? Yeah. Mainly it was just a shame that it’s a bit of a disappointing way for that battle to go.

Was hoping Norris would make the podium, but hey, Leclerc did an outstanding job.

Horner – What a poor loser🤣🤣🤣🤣

LOL at Horner saying “this isn’t the behaviour you’d expect from a 7-time world champion”.

Christian, there’s only been one other 7-time world champion, and among various other on-track misdemeanours he famously drove straight into two championship rivals deliberately. Going balls-deep into Copse is the least you should expect, ye daft plum 😂

Wow. Incredible race and Silverstone has looked fantastic all weekend. That interview just now with Horner by Kravitz was unbearable. I’ve never been able to tolerate the little windbag and I know he is just towing the team line but FFS get a grip you twisty little ****. Verstappen (as always) was super aggressive and got a taste of his own.. Racing incident for me with both parties able to have done a bit more to avoid. But Helmut Marko calling for a race ban.. arrr well aye mate – give your head a wobble you silly owld bastard.

^^^ 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Max moves left before the corner to cover Lewis on the outside, Lewis has the run on him so goes up the inside, from that point Max is always going to out brake Lewis there because his turn is not as tight, but he cuts across too early – he can carry more speed than Hamilton round there and if he’d waited a moment longer he’d have been fully ahead and they’d never have touched. Lewis could have slammed the brakes on to avoid it, Max could have bailed out from his attempt to make Lewis blink first. Since both could have avoided that collision it’s 50/50 for me, so bad luck that Max crashed out and probably correct to penalise Lewis. Horner and Marko are a right pair of tits though.

looked to me as Lewis was backing out of it with Vestappen aggressive in shutting the door, both miss judged it unfortunately Max came out worse from the coming together.

I was coming on here to bitch about Horner but Bez has nailed it.

Just need Cav to win the sprint in a few minutes time and it’ll be a fine weekend – shame no British winner of the The Open.

If GB News starts up a sports department, Horner would be a good fit.

Today Horner is sponsored by the word “desperate”.

Mansell-esque scenes with the Union Jack there

Comparison to Mansell is something to be proud of??

Verstappen races hard, today he tried it and expected the usual outcome but Hamilton wasn’t for giving in this time. This time Verstappen had it all to lose and he did. He had to show his metal and race him hard and it was fair game.

Did he mention Perez? I switched to ITV4. 16km to go if interested.

Comparison to Mansell is something to be proud of??

Well, I never mentioned “proud” but seeing as you have with a negative implication feel free to educate as to why you think it might not be.
