Sainz had pure commitment after restart and he knew he needs to overtake as soon as possible or Ferrari will most likely lose both places so that was a wise decision from him

Yeah, against team orders too apparently, but seems like he could sense the team wasn't at their best, many questionable decisions (and I can only know post-race since I don't hear audio when following the way I do). Funny that they fix their engine issue (for the race anyway) and then find a way to screw up decision-making.

You didn't say if you managed to actually take the Sainz bet you were thinking of?

I still have to look more times at least, in slow motion, to that crash. I still don't understand what has happened there. I'm incredibly happy that nobody got hurt.
The overall race was mad. I will watch it again. Indeed almost anybody could win. I am happy for Carlos though. He does deserve victories in F1. Impressive run for Checo though. And also for Lewis, I have to admit that.

We saw an incredible crash in the race, it was one of the worst things we've seen in years. But Halo worked very well and we didn't encounter a terrible scenario. I couldn't enjoy watching the race for a long time after the accident. I am very glad that technology has advanced so much.
Congrats for Carlos Sainz!

One of the races that we will not forget anytime soon or ever! Amazing and pure racing! Glad to hear that Albon is okay and he will be able to race in Austria but Gzhou I think it will miss the race and Kubica might take that seat for one weekend.

Sainz had pure commitment after restart and he knew he needs to overtake as soon as possible or Ferrari will most likely lose both places so that was a wise decision from him and a very hard working victory as it was under super mega pressure from both Leclerc , Perez+Hamilton , Verstappen at some point and team radio making him pushing every lap so yea,huge congrats for Sainz.

As a matter of fact , do we know how many people were there ? statistics said over 400k but no numbers were showed after that...

From the point of view of the final result, everything is more or less logical - Sainz made a double, another thing is that there was a certain chaos in the race and probably everyone had a chance (especially considering accidents). I see that the bookmakers did not believe in the victory of Sainz at all and probably someone took advantage of this.

He doesn't know either how he won the race.

Fun statistic, his first win was 12 years ago with the pole and victory (in another category) in the same track.


The 1st win is a huge step, he will have not to think anymore about it, and his mind will be free.

Well I don't think anyone saw that coming.
Sainz winning the British grand prix in that way.
Yellow flag kept him in it with Leclerc in 1st place and Hamilton looking for a home track win but atleast he got the fastest lap.

I still think about the accident and how lucky that there is the halo security measures now and Zhou is still alive. Without Halo, Zhou probably wouldn't have survived. It was one of the scariest starts of recent years and many pilots were out of the race due to the accidents. After Zhou somersaulted and went upside down for a long time, he hit the rubber barriers and then the wires, and the vehicle was caught between the two. It was one of the most intense moments of F1 in the recent times. How long it took that they rescued him from the car. With these kinds of accidents, I personally just want to let it go and enjoy the race but it was so intense that I still think about it.

Well, I couldn't have been more underestimating of home crowd. Put all British drivers in picks so of course already lost points from Russell not making it but LeClerc pitting means Hammie's leading and the crowd are just soaking it in, damn haha. 17 laps or so to go, but I wouldn't count a Ferrari out of a 1-2 the way it's going so far. Max also had a pit and is ... in 8th now. Might be good money for a podium?

Man what a horrible crash we see. Really good working of the HALO saving lifes.

Also the barriers working, because if that barrier doesnt work the fans can be in a very big trouble.

!0 to Russel running to see how was Zhou.

I'm surprised that Russell, after free practice, still lost qualification to Hamilton. However, they will both be behind the leaders, so the race can change everything. Pretty interesting bookmaker quotes in my opinion:

Verstappen, Max - 1.66
Leclerc, Charles - 4.75
Sainz Jr., Carlos - 5.35
Hamilton, Lewis - 12.60
Perez, Sergio - 18.60
Russell, George - 29.60

Ferrari despite winning the qualification is greatly underestimated.

Instead I'm really surprised about Hamilton, great 4th place. About Ferrari, I hope that finally this will be the good change for them and I hope that they will win the grand prix, I'm tired to see ferrari to stop his race because

of technical issues. Leclerc can do a good run, he is strongly motivated, and I really believe in him.

Ferrari were really great in the qualifying actually. Maybe Leclerc stayed in the third place but this is still good. Because Sainz made a huge improvement in this performance this time and took the pole position deservedly. Verstappen made a mistake on Sector 2 if I don't remember wrong and he was slower than Sainz's fastest lap at the end. It is going to be great to watch this race. Because Sainz also seems to be promising and he can join the race for winning the Silverstone GP.

Leclerc has been saying this every race he has not won that his car doesn't feel right to him. So about four races now.
This is what drivers say when they underperform in any race they are in so to put the blame on a mechanical issue and not themselves.
Or the team will just find another driver for next season.
Practice 3 is starting right now!
Qualifying is in a couple of hours from now according to sky sports on my cable box guide.

I listened to his interview, and according to him, they didn't have the best car to fight for the first position in their last three games. Well since he has admitted that they now have a good car now to go for the win and that they will go for the win my expectations are quite high. In my mind he is starting on a blank slate. This is going to different from Barcelona and Miami. I hope we're not going to hear any complaints again.

Nothing new then right? We all knew this from the beginning and the drivers have been saying it. At the same time I do not really like people to keep blaming everything else other than themselves. We get it,,, but if the engines and cars really were not worthy of the race, then we would not be allowed to use them right?

So I kind of agree with rdbase here. Say it once should be enough but keep using it as excuse is not good for the entire team too.

Glad to see he now admits they have a good car! Forget the past and go win some things!!

Yea , I'm really thinking to take Sainz as a winner today as he still has 5 odds and he is still yet to win a race. Could Silverstone become his 1st win ? Well , Alonso did a pole back in 2012 with Ferrari here but he didn't manage to win the race as Webber took the W and last time a spanish driver won SIlverstone is still Alonso back in 2006.

Now if we look back on Practice 3 , Ferrari team kept Sainz to box in the last 15 minutes of the practice which was not cool for those who had a bet on Sainz top 3 as he had plenty of time for a new lap and then quali time and he goes for pole out of nowhere in complete different situation at it was clear sky in Practice 2 and full rain in Qualifiers so I don't know if Ferrari really wants Sainz to win today...but we shall see in the 1st pitstop if he manages to keep his 1st position after race start.

You guys really think Ferrari has a chance here ? Leclerc has just said that his car doesn't feel great and he doesn't hope for a pole fight but Sainz said that his car has the best pace out there and he can fight for pole today. Now , I'm thinking to take Sainz as a pole winner as the odds are more than attractive but the best odd is still on Leclerc side.

Man I SAW that too, the odds making LeClerc a favourite for pole, but stuck to my choice to put Verstappen on it, thinking I was smart and wham bam, Sainz it was. Didn't know too much about the race beforehand, but shoulda listened to the itch to back the 3rd fav guy.

I'm sorry Rdbase but Leclerc has never under performed in the last 3 races and he has been on top on his shape but the car isn't there so this has nothing to do with Leclerc as he is still in a championship mind state and this is great as it will keep him focus. The only thing that under performed in the last races is the engine , gear box and the floor of Ferrari. After they changed 2 of those , Ferrari is still not near RedBull and furthermore , Mercedes are almost equal in power to Ferrari.

Agree, LeClerc did all he could (sure, mistakes like everyone else but can't say he could have done more especially in those DNFs). Did all the other teams using Ferrari engines also change though or are they sticking to what they got?

Once again, Charles can do whatever he wants on Saturdays, be at the top, or be at the botom and it doesn't matter. What Charles need to understand is that what you do on Sunday is the one that matters, even though there are some sprint races on Saturdays these days, we need to realize that Sundays are the real point makers. Race pace is very important, Bottas was known to be super fast on Saturdays as well, but we know how much he won, and Russell was always great and fast at Williams too, and never won.

So, unless you show some real race pace on Sunday, you are going to be quite unhappy with what you have and that is going to end up giving the title to Max early on before the last races.

We are currently in Practice 3 and Max is leading Lec   ...so I think Leclerc is right about Ferrari car being slower than RedBull and on Silverstone the different of speed avg between RedBull and Ferrari is about 5km/h.
