Kerb on the inside of T4 just shown to be very sharp at the height that the tyres appear to be failing. So it's not exactly Pirelli's fault. But then that wouldn't fit in with various peoples' ideas about Pirelli.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Right, the exact same kerb that's been there for years has magically changed into an F1 tyre cutter? And magically also doesn't cut any tyres in any of the support races.

Doesn't sound likely.

La mafia...

Haha no but on a serius note. Why did they suck so much I mean 5 tires (or was it just 4)
Plus Sergio lost his in FP3! Why Pireli the British GP was ruined.

HAMILTON what a race from pole to last and from last to 4th!

Hard to decide man of the race today, my proposals:
Webber
Hamilton
DiResta

I'd suggest that DiResta could be a shoe in for a Lotus seat if Kimi takes the RBR one.

Otherwise it's a frustrating car to watch.
Well it´s a great problem to have ;)
Better then barely hitting Top 10´s then having the same race-issues ;)

It does not look very particular but for some reason it´s many times comfortably faster then a Red Bull.
The improvements made from last year is simply staggering.
I dont understand, merc has no race pace
Rosberg and Hamilton did put in quite a good performance for a car that has no race pace

In all fairness, this was a very cool race. While my hope that they've fixed the tyres issues is growing, I won't truly believe it until they can do that at a hot race, with the softs on.

Paul at Lotus I possible.
Keep in mind Ferrari also has Massa to reconsider.

Paul could be in Ferrari just as much as Lotus next season. Massa to midfield team and Hulk to either Ferrari or Lotus. I see both Paul and Hulk moving up. Massa out he's been there too long since Michael... Wow longest running number 2 driver in a top team.

But today for me its Hamilton man of the race he lost a tire faught back to 4th. Amazing just amazing I mean wow. Despite the horrible pirelis Britain still had one driver do amazing well.


Vettel Grossjean Perez Vergnie this wasn't a good GP.

Working today so missed the race, can't wait to watch it later on!

Such a shame for Hamilton, seems he easily had the pace on everyone today to take the win, Mercedes 1+2 would have been fun to watch, and well deserved for the team.
Felipe Baby!

Ross Brawn was ''excited'' about the new updates to improve race pace, I join him! They made a massive step forward. A 2-3 sec gap between Vettel and Rosberg, amazing!

Indeed, without the tyres it certainly would have been a Merc 1-2.

19°C air, 30°C track is about as cold as an F1 race gets.

Did they really have to put out a second safety car for Vettel? It seemed out of the way to me, they could even push it to an exit easy.
