McLaren admitted that this years car has less downforce and is generally worse than last years car. I think people have been waiting for Eric to go for a while now

What a cracking race! Can always rely on Silverstone to serve up the goods.

Not the win but what a superb fightback from Lewis (btw, why did Kimi get a 10s penalty today but Vettel only a 5s for a MUCH more blatant error in France - inconsistent much?) couldn't quite bring it home but I was loving those last 10 or so laps with the Mercs & Ferraris in such close tandem!

Yep. British Grand Prix delivers yet again. Good question on the length of penalty for Kimi. Felt harsh compared to previous ones for similar incidents.

Sadly, Hamilton continues to behave like a ungracious spoilt child and his behaviour at parc ferme was rude and disrespectful to the public. I don't care how much it hurts, suck it up and speak to the fans.

Not a fan of Hamilton's comments. Hopefully it's just a heat of the moment thing and he walks it back at the next race cos there is no way that was deliberate from Kimi.

Apparently it will be Channel 4 that will show free to air highlights of F1 next year when Sky Sports show it exclusively.

Channel 4 are showing highlights next year??? Is this confirmed anywhere? If so that's excellent! I have the Sky Sports package but whenever the races are live, I always watch with C4 - I much prefer their coverage. Next year I can at least decide whether it's really necessary to watch the races.

What Gasly thought about his penalty:

QUOTE
5sec penalty, ridiculous...
Every weekends there are contacts with no further action, that’s part of racing & what makes it exciting! Was close battle, I enjoyed it. Just let us race and stop all this bullshit with penalties! Will keep fighting.

Waheeeey, nice one Sebby!

Another great race this season, be gutted if the German GP is scrapped.

I got bored and abandoned after lap 17. Appear to have made the correct choice with douchebag cheating his way to a provisional win. Hope the stewards have the balls to do what’s right

Stoffel Vandoorne-

Dead last in qualifying (Alonso 11th) and dead last in the race (even slower than the Williams!) before the end race madness. Okay, he didn't finish last and actually finished the race despite having problems at one point but at no point was he competitive, challenging for points or even close to Fernando's speed.

Alonso and the team seem to be taking sympathy. Apparently Stoffel’s car (for some unknown reason) is showing up with less downforce. I don’t know if that’s down to the way he’s driving the car, or a technical issue (surely if it was, they could just replicate Alonso’s aerodynamic setup, and see what he gets out of it, no?). I’d be worried if I was Stof, there are other similarly experienced drivers outshining him (Ocon & Leclerc mainly).

Would be great to see Wehrlein back! Have absolutely no idea why Ericsson was favoured over him.

Would be a shame for Grosjean to be dumped, having a weak season but he's better than a third of those drivers above, even if he had to downgrade teams once again.

Not all that thrilled on the prospect of Giovinazzi back on the grid...

Mercedes: Lewis Hamilton & Valtteri Bottas
Ferrari: Sebastian Vettel & Kimi Räikkönen
Red Bull: Daniel Ricciardo & Max Verstappen
Renault: Nico Hülkenberg & Jack Aitken
Force India: Sergio Pérez & Esteban Ocon
Haas: Kevin Magnussen & Antonio Giovinazzi
McLaren: Stoffel Vandoorne & Lando Norris
Toro Rosso: Carlos Sainz & Pierre Gasly
Sauber: Charles Leclerc & Marcus Ericsson
Williams: Sergey Sirotkin & George Russell

Wehrlein will not be seen in F1 again, I’m sure of it. He barely did better than Ericsson in that Sauber.
Ericsson is only still in F1 because, well... money talks.

It makes sense for Ferrari to try to get Leclerc into a slightly faster car, but I reckon they’ll decide on leaving him in the Sauber for stability.

Stroll’s backers won’t be able to get him a seat with Force India as Mercedes are still giving such a benefit for Ocon’s seat and Pérez won’t be moving anywhere. Stroll doesn’t want to continue with Williams so that frees up a spot for Mercedes to plonk Russell in.

I can see Alonso moving into a different McLaren operation (I know he is contracted to race for McLaren, but not explicitly F1, think he might move to IndyCar in search of his triple), making room for Norris.

Sainz will head back to Toro Rosso after his loan finishes, with the view to moving him to Red Bull in 2020. The final spot at Renault will go to one of their development drivers (presumably Jack Aitken).

Bye bye Stroll, Grosjean and Hartley 👋

I heard rumourings that Stroll's dad was looking to put money into Force India.
