British Grand Prix 2014, Silverstone - Race 9/19

Interesting to see people all over the net getting giddy over the 8-lap Alonso-Vettel duel, I bet the same people still argue in favour of easy mode DRS.
 
Gutted for JB he didnt make the podium, but at least the McLaren is a little better vs the Ferrari and the RBR

Not sure it was as much of a surprise that Williams did so well with one Merc dropping out (Im very happy for them just not surprised)
 
Mercedes will have a lot more reliability issues this year. People said they would become more reliable as the season goes on and so Rosberg had the title won. Rubbish, there will be many more retirements to come as the parts get older. People were foolish to claim a title was over before the half distance. If this car didn't have the biggest advantage since 92 then cars could get in the way and take points but I'd wager even if Hamilton had started last he would still be able to get 2nd by the race end.

Qualifying 2nd or 9th really makes little difference when you have that car.
 
Btw, I thought it was funny yesterday in the qualifying build up when Susie said to Coulthard after the motorbike piece with Jenson,
"the irony is that you sang 'born to be wild' at 20mph" :D
 
Well done Lewis and bottas. A fantastic battle between Alonso and vettel. Button was unlucky not to get 3rd.
 
Fantastic result. So pleased for Lewis.

Game on now between him and Rosberg. Lewis won his home grand prix and Rosberg has his home grand prix next. Can't wait for Germany now.
 
ENGLAAAAAND!

lol :D

Such a YES moment when nico dropped out. He would have had him anyway surely.

Happy to see bottas and ric on the podium. Lol at whiney moany baby vettel, alonso trolling him round the track, great racing from him.

Good race all round.

£1000 in the bank :D

Wowsers, how much did you bet on what??
 
Well after yesterdays disappointment, the race was very good!

I was happy Lewis didn't lose the 2 places he gained when the race was red flagged and then I was quite apprehensive seeing him only just match Nico for the first few laps, but he found his feet and then it was 110% game on, coupled with his share of the luck this week, on the better tyres and gaining quick, I would have loved to have seen them wheel to wheel..
I like Nico, he's the most likeable German I know, and I always root for him if Lewis can't win, but I do wince every time he's come through on good luck.

i was also willing Jenson to catch the redbull, if he could have just pulled it off sooner, it would have been an epic podium..
