Don’t you mean when it finished!!
I often pass by the lads playing cricket down the ground on a Sunday on the way to the pub.
Admittedly I often look over in their direction.
Then carry on just walking by.

I may have been shouting abuse at him through the tv.I saw Chris Grayling was actually doing something useful at the Grand Prix yesterday.

I watched the first 5 laps and went to bed knowing full well who would win.
They should give Messers Hammy & Bottyass a one lap penalty st the start of the race & make sure Verstappen & Leclerc start every race side by side.
Then pair up every other loony on the F1 grid.
Bring back slicks, refuelling & skinny wings oh & manual gearbox changes plus take away traction control & every other modern device but leave safety related items as they are.
Oh one more thing. Get rid of the poxy sounding 1.6 engine & bring back the screaming V10’s.
I know Johnny polar bear & every tree hugger in the world won’t like it but at least it’ll be exciting.
Oh damn I’ve woke up.

Get in there DK! On another note, with Albon also performing well and Gasly storming into the back of him, too soon for silly season or?

Gasly will probably be gone by Spa.

Unless there's a miracle, Gasly won't be in RB come Spa.

So much for all the mutterings about us not getting proper races with lots going on any more...

And Robert Kubica gets promoted into the points! My oh my, this is interesting.
It took Hamilton to be unwell for him to not be on the podium though.So much for all the mutterings about us not getting proper races with lots going on any more...

Both Alfa Romeos were handed 30 second time penalties for having suspected launch control.

I just saw. F1 has it as a "clutch irregularity" but it promotes Hamilton to 9th so it's not all lost for Merc. The irony of this (
) is that I was watching videos over the weekend that mentioned Option 13 a lot.

The thought occurs to me - is this the first time that someone has crossed the line in 11th place but still ended up increasing his advantage in the points over the second placed driver in the championship?

You've got to give it to Vettel, 20th to 2nd at his home race should give him a massive boost for the rest of the season now, particularly as the qualifying issues were not his fault

he didn't seem bothered by the race for most of it and only came second because everyone else crashed into the scenery! It wasn't a drive like the one he did in Brazil or Abu Dhabi in 2012. At least Ferrari got the strategy right this time!
People underestimate just how much a drivers home race means to them. Look at Hamilton at Silverstone. It brings the best out of him. You could see the massive disappointment on Vettel’s face when his car malfunctioned on Saturday just as you could when he binned it in the kitty litter at Hockenheim last year. To say he wasn’t bothered is claptrap. He wanted to win.

I guess when the pressure is off, that is when Vettel excels. That seems to be a common theme for him, even back in his Red Bull / Championship days when he knew he had the fastest car. But when the pressure was on at Red Bull, he didn't seem to handle it
DarloRich
Veteran Member
In those two races above the pressure was absolutely on. Brazil he was spun round by Bruno Senna and ended up last. He drove through to 6th to win the championship.

He couldn't pass the oldest driver on the grid or worse still, get close enough to pass. If so many people didn't have incidents, he could've easily finished behind Kimi.
DarloRich
Veteran Member
agreed - he seems a bit down cast at present. Perhaps he has had enough and/or has lost the "fire"
DarloRich
Veteran Member
he didn't show much in the race. His final postilion was due to a good strategy call and the inability of other drivers to match their ego and talent to the conditions!
