Ferrari's Carlos Sainz won the British Grand Prix from pole position, but it was far from easy. An early heavy crash and a late safety car resulted in a tense race that saw Perez take his opportunity for second as Hamilton pleased the home crowd with a third-place result.

Need to hear the radio again, but it sounded a lot more suspect than that. We need the transcript, but Carlos responded "trust me, there is no such rule".F1NAC wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:26What are you smoking.

Hm, not really, they were telling him to basically give Leclerc maximum space upon the restart, sacrificing his own race. That's quite an unprecedented teamorder. Good thing he didn't take it.F1NAC wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:26What are you smoking.

Does anyone want the lottery numbers?
up to 10 = within 10
Agreed and probably why I feel dissatisfied at the end.Tvetovnato wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:31With competent race strategists, Sainz would not have won this race. Great for him anyway, but it’s a bit sour when the slowest driver of the top four wins.
