Fox Posted Friday at 20:08 Posted Friday at 20:08 Not me. Ferraris look quick though.Yeah. Hamilton could be in for a great weekend. They're looking pretty quick and he's got a ridiculous record here Quote
winthattt Posted Sunday at 20:46 Posted Sunday at 20:46 Just back from Silverstone, it’s my favourite f1 track though I’ve not been to many others. Very good result, Piastri deserved the penalty, visibility was horrid, he could have caused a mighty crash, pleased Hulk got a 3rd, Lewis was never really threatening him. It’s a bit sad that half the fans cheer when Max has a problem, he can be a @@@@@ but he’s a fantastic talent (know to brake check on a safety car release as well) just look what he gets from the car compared with his #2.

It was a really intriguing but weird race at the start. Could have gone any way given the weather and the safety cars. Totally agree with the Piastri penalty, I think he was a bit unlucky as the lights on the safety car had only just gone out but it was still excessive. What was the fan base like? I saw the Lando grandstands but I was expecting more red Ferrari fans to get behind Hamilton... Not sure if TV just made it look like there weren't that many...? Quote
DeanB Posted yesterday at 10:54 Posted yesterday at 10:54 I enjoyed the race. I'm glad Lando won but I'll be amazed if Oscar doesn't win the title. He seems to have far superior mental strength and is nip and tuck as fast as Lando. I hope I'm wrong. I would love Lando to win. I thought Lewis had a pretty good weekend - a lot better than his highly regarded team mate certainly. Max was sensationally good coaxing the speed he did out of the Red Bull with almost no wing. Only he could have done that. The British crowd jeer him because, I think, they remember all the times he has behaved in a very unsporting manner towards British drivers, including running them off the road and deliberately crashing in to them. I think it's fair comment personally. If he didn't do those things a lot of British fans would love him, because he is such a good driver. 1 Quote
MG4Lotus Posted yesterday at 13:24 Posted yesterday at 13:24 Russell is a fast driver and when his car is fast he qualifies well. During the race he struggles to pass people. I've noticed that through his time at Mercedes including yesterday. Quote
winthattt Posted yesterday at 14:10 Posted yesterday at 14:10 (edited) You asked about the fanbase, two years ago it was a sea of orange and Max fans, now they have all gone. The fan favourites are the British drivers, I’d say Lewis, Lando second. Oli was a big in disgrace after his speeding on red, he drove well though. I think they are all a bit better than me. Someone above remarked about how good Silverstone is, it genuinely is good. Music, food, beer (of sorts, it’s Heineken) and entertainment for 3 days. We camped and it has stages fur entertainment, food etc and even clean toilets. Edited yesterday at 14:10 by winthattt 1 Quote
