Lewis Hamilton has won the British Grand Prix, his home race held at Silverstone, inheriting the lead of Nico Rosberg following his gearbox failure. Valtteri Bottas is on the podium again in second place while Daniel Ricciardo completes the podium in third.
Rosberg also had reliability problems in Canada, just because he made it last admirably well doesn't mean he was trouble free.SilverArrow10 wrote:Its still two DNFS versus one.

What they need to do is bring back gravel traps, but that belongs into another topic. Great racing by both.thevlack wrote:Stop whinning..iotar__ wrote:Track limits from Vettel!! FIA is a joke. Edit: he only overtook because he closed the gap by going off track and carrying more speed.
FIA needs to stop penalizing all for track limits, and blah blab... Let them race so we enjoy more!
Rosberg had issues, but they were issues that were the same as Hamilton's, and were only manageable because of the warning that Hamilton's failing earlier gave. Hamilton's car has failed resulting in dropping out of the race twice now, Rosberg's has failed with that result only once. To call Hamilton lucky based on that is ridiculous.Sevach wrote:Rosberg also had reliability problems in Canada, just because he made it last admirably well doesn't mean he was trouble free.SilverArrow10 wrote:Its still two DNFS versus one.

I think he could have spotted that crash way before tbhzeph wrote:So that was fun. Just gutted for Massa. He is as quick as Bottas, but has no luck.
He did, and he lifted, but he had no idea what was going on behind the Caterham as the actual crash in the track happened. At that point, following the Caterham is the best plan, as your assumption is that the driver in it is doing his best to avoid the crash. Pulling out to see at that point would have been a dumb move in most circumstances.Glyn wrote:I think he could have spotted that crash way before tbhzeph wrote:So that was fun. Just gutted for Massa.

He was complaining that Vettel went wide at the last corner. The result was that he was in the slip stream down the start/finish straight, and through village. The result of that was that he was up Alonso's gearbox in Loop. Finally, he got past in the DRS because of that.vall wrote:what was Alonso's last complain about? I could not hear it well.
