Wow! Just 0.7 seconds and Mark would have had Nico. Congratulations to Nico and Merc. I watched the live timing but I have to wait another 2 hours to watch the race. Exciting. These races need to be longer. Two weeks of hype and the race is only 1:40 hours long. Bring back refueling, get rid of COURS and let the driver decide when to use DRS. Too many rules.

4 tyre failures and 1 yesterday
----------------------------------------Pirelli have had safer tyres for 2 races now and yet still the original clearly unsafe ones are being used ... despite that unmentionable test. The race should have been Red Flagged. They got lucky today. They shouldn't be driving on luck. A German Bloke won again This time a different one  In the Mercedes built in https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Brackley,+Northants,+NN13+7BD Congrats to Nico.  Seb with just a box of neutrals Who else saw the Engineer with the "I got dressed at Night" sheet of A4 standing behind Eddie Jordan? Classic. Only one week to the Nürburgring let's hope Pirelli can pull a rabbit out of a hat and deploy some preferably non-exploding tyres by Friday's practise. I have Hankooks on mine - VENTUS S1 evo's - grippy grippy grippy and they last. Nürburgring - back to edited highlights on the Beeb  Till next week Dave |

Everyone should sell their Pirelli stock before the markets open.
---------------------------------------- That was a lot of catastrophic tire failures for one race. An amazing run at the end by Webber (+28 points). Ferrari must have been holding everything for the race. Good showing with a 3rd and 6th. I still say keep your eyes on Force India. Zero points for Vettel has a big impact on points.Great day for the UK!  |

Trying to blame the track / curbs for the tyre problems doesn't wash.
----------------------------------------Funny how Pirelli official vehicles don't use their own make of tyre. Luckily none of my vehicles have Pirelli and they probably never will. Patrick  |

F1 pilots know very well their life is in danger in every race but when we consider the progress done on security year after year one cannot admit that a manufacturer i.e Pirelli take their life at risk
----------------------------------------I hope Bernie Ecclestone and the teams will put pressure(is it the right term?) on Pirelli to solve that problem. if not ,good bye to the "chicken with golden eggs" Mr Greedy Bernie Happy to see Majo Alonso narrowing the gap! some luck yes but... one never needs to win all the races to finish champion If ever Ferrari cud have cars a bit more speedy....a.better position after Q3 cud help. |
