That was a great qualifying session and a well deserved pole.

Aargh!!! Had to run some errands this morning. Figured it wouldn’t be a big deal as the race was being DVR’d. Come home by 10:30 am and realize the DVR isn’t recording. It’s set up to record at 9PM. WTH does ESPN change the broadcast between their channels

I won't tell you about the finish, A2. It got pretty exciting at the end.

Thank you Raptor. Just finished watching the race. What a fantastic race.

It was a great recovery drive from Lewis no doubt buoyed by the home crowd, but it was Seb that really stamped his authority on the race. The Ferraris just seemed to have improved much better than the other teams. It was very exciting towards the end watching the silver arrows followed by the red cars as they made their way through Maggotts and Becketts. The British GP really delivered this time. I just hope Liberty finds a way to cut Silverstone a sweetheart deal to keep the race going. This is after all the home of F1

Not sure if any of you guys followed the F2 race, but it appears that Santino Ferrucci May have sabotaged his career. Hoping he makes amends as he is one of the American hopes in F1 and to an extent all of them can be entitled spoilt brats.

I hope Haas dump him. He has no place in racing.

Can’t argue with what you said Sam. Sportsmanship has to be inculcated in all these young and upcoming athletes. I fear Ferrucci has dug his own grave. It’s very telling when your own team doesn’t back you up.

I felt his apology was half-assed, and very much because he knew was told he screwed up royally. He's got no respect for the team or the sport, he needs to learn it the hard way unfortunately as his dad certainly isn't going to correct him.

I'd like to think the US can do better than this kid for an eventual F1 drive.
