2025 British Grand Prix - Silverstone, July 04 - 06

These race threads have become poisonous. JfC! These things happen in sports for goodness sake. Oscar was given an arguably harsh penalty and Norris benefitted, these things happen.

I agree regarding the amount of bile expressed towards people who support one or other driver.
Some need more rational thinking and less keyboard warrior mentality!

[ENGINE TUNER]

Except it was proven that the leader, Bottas, did not brake and kept a constant speed and was therefore not given a penalty. It was drivers anticipating the start, then braking hard, exactly what verstappen did yesterday, that triggered the pile up. Verstappen should have been penalized yesterday, and in Canada and every other time he passed or got side by side to another car under SC conditions.

1:05 of this video shows bottas did nothing wrong

The point is that after that incident, it was added that specifically after the safety car lights are off, erratic acceleration and braking is not allowed.
Bottas did not do that and was cleared
Piastri did do that and got a penalty

And when Piastri accelerated, verstappen should not have accelerated?!?!? No driver on the grid would do that.

Erratic driving is banned under any circumstances(and behind the SC) and has been so for years before Bottas was on the grid. Drivers(including the leader)are allowed to accelerate and brake behind the SC in order to warm the brakes, and when the SC turns off its lights. Please stop making up rules that don't exist. Piastri accelerated BEFORE the SC turned off its lights, and he braked at almost the same time as the lights were turned off. You are making up a false scenario that did not occur.

Again, people are RIGHTFULLY annoyed at seeing the British GP, with what could have been a very entertaining race, get ruined by having the lead battle taken away and the stewards just gifting Norris, a British driver, the win midway through. (which again, also has massive championship implications, since instead of a 22 point gap, there's now only an 8 point gap. That's a 14 point swing that could EASILY be the whole difference at the end of the year).

There's nothing irrational about this whatsoever. I actually think anybody who isn't upset at the situation is likely very biased themselves because they're happy with the result.

If 220 km/h to 50 km/h isn't erratic than nothing is.

You are irrationally mad because you dislike Lando so much. He tried to snooker Max on the restart and did. But it was too erratic.

British bias was never really a thing. It was always just Hamilton bias. The 2 most hated relevant drivers in the field are Lando and George. And it all stemmed from British Hamilton fans. And even some of the British media.

It's funny how hamilton fans hate George and Lando more than they hate Max. In fact , they glaze Max now just to cut Lando down. And George when it fits.

I don’t want you all to miss out.
Mclaren have released some limited edition merch to celebrate Lando’s win at Silverstone!

Piastri almost caused collsions behind him - first Max - then Nico on Stroll and Gasly going left to avoid BOTH of them... I'd say it's your own bias painting pictures here about "a British driver" being "gifted" a victory when there one driver who feels he's not responsible for anything and actually asked to get a chance back at victory with a swap.
Hilarious.

Piastri's bloody lucky he didn't scrap Nico's race...

The stewards made the right call 100% - Piastri assumes no responsibility and his entire show after the race was pathetic. ..... and he asked to be given back the lead. Seriously he seems oblivious. He should watch onboards of Hulk and Gasly and settle down.

[Wouter]

Nice to read al those 1655 comments about the beheavior of the two McLaren drivers when Hulkenberg
was neglected/ignored/disregard at the podium.

His overall stayed dry ffs!! He was celebrating on his own! It broke my heart.

If Fernando, Lewis, Max, and the other drivers had been on the podium, they would have completely drenched Nico in champagne
to celebrate his very first podium finish! Everyone was so happy for him! Except for those two McLaren kids.

There’s no living F1 soul who is not happy for Nico.





He had to spray himself!

I guess it might be useful to point out that I'm a British citizen who lives in London. I'm not biased against British drivers.

In fact, I had a great time seeing and cheering the Lionesses destroying the Netherlands this evening. :p

Was still very ugly to see Norris being gifted such an undeserved win that has massive championship implications. Most reasonable people will understand that.

[bluechris]

I personally like the situation where Norris and Piastri goes neck to neck in points till the end of the championship. What's the point watching the remaining races if one of them has to much points difference? Like Hamilton dominant years? This will make both drivers mature faster no matter any hiccups that will happen in the process like the crash in Canada.

I think the issue is, that it is not a fair fight. The wheel to wheel is very limited, the strategies are limited. Piastri is not allowed to use the wheel to wheel skills, otherwise he would do a Verstappen on Lando.
It is a fake fight on Sunday. The only interesting thing is who is ahead on Saturday...then we can check if anyone of the two screws up or crashes with Ver on Sunday...

You accused others of bias and now define what most people should "understand". There's a large majority who believe Pisatri broke the rules, almost causing several collisions. In the bigger picture it's Piastri's loss from his own actions and he even asked for a swap.

[Matt-A]

Also Lando would have won in a wheel to wheel race Piastri if McLaren hadn't f***ed up his pit stop and let Max overtake him in the pitlane.

Palmer disagrees


Nobody was close to a collision behind piastri, and he drove very similarly in the previous restart. The only driver who did anything wrong was verstappen by passing the leading car ahead of him.

Have you seen the onboards from both Nico and Gasly? Both of them had to avoid and passed the car in front.. Gasly actually pass both Stoll and Nico.

For context a quote from media outlets: Piastri was bemused by his punishment but after a priceless facial expression, Hulkenberg explained the impact his move had, stating, "It caused a lot of... I went off almost into the back of Pierre [Gasly] and Lance [Stroll]."

This was in the cool down room Hulk speaking directly to Oscar.

Not sure how this could escape Palmer's insight here..
