Poll: Official 2024 British Grand Prix Race Thread - Silverstone Circuit - Race 12/24

Perez pit radio - Was worth taking the shot on that first inter, hit the crossover. Just dried up after that.

Perez - Uh.. Didn't work, the gamble.

Absolute scenes.

All time top winner at Silverstone 9 wins

Isn’t that a general record too? I think they had a graphic up earlier where he was tied with MS on 8.

I do wonder if RB made themselves look better what with McLarens bodged pit stops and Russell’s retirement. Bodes well for future races as well.

Not sure about mercedes, but McLaren have shown they are now having raced on different tracks

Only person to win 9 times at any circuit I believe

I've said before I'm not keen on norris. I'm glad that Hamilton won it.

And plenty of time for piastri to come good. He made the right calls. He was clear cut on the medium when norris wasn't. It was the right call. And norris (I believe?) had the chance to go different to Hamilton.

Verstappen/rbr made right calls too with a car that was not 2nd on raw pace.

Yup. Most wins at a single circuit.

9 - British Grand Prix - Hamilton

8 - French Grand Prix - Schumacher

8 - Hungarian Grand Prix - Hamilton

Depends if Max was carrying a bit of damage still really

 

[Feek]

I'm actually tempted to sell my tickets now as Mrs doesn't fancy going to silverstone in rain

Soooo, did you go?

 

[KiNgPiN83]

In other news, I’m glad Perez made the most of that new engine…

 

[jonneymendoza]

What a way to sign off with Mercedes. Awesome.

Innit. Even if this is his last win for the team but what a win!

 

[Flibster]

Norris doesn't look happy.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Soooo, did you go?

If he didn't I hope hes got the divorce lawyers on speed dial!

Mclaren what was they doing both drivers would have been 1-2.

Way too many mistakes.

Both drivers kept out extra lap and then to put Lando on a used red soft what was that about he had a brand new yellow medium available.

They have cost themselves.

He just keeps on making some silly decisions. Still it will come with practice...hes still a youngling in F1 terms.

Norris doesn't look happy.

He knows he lost himself the chance of a win by not taking the mediums.

 

[Merlin5]

Hope Lewis isn't regretting leaving Merc now and wondering if they have a winning car in 2025.

 

[Mr Jack]

Pérez down to sixth in the WDC. Logan now ahead of Bottas.

 

[Joxeon]

Easily the best race of the season far, great to see Hamilton back on top of the podium.

 

[Flibster]

McLaren lost 2 chances for winning this one. Not stacking Piastri and putting Norris on the softs (that he asked for)
