Another example of Hamilton not being smart enough ... and Rosberg realising that the 'dry' part of the circuit was worth a few seconds, Hamilton really needs to get out of his pop idol, gangsta mode and remember that he is a F1 racing driver first and foremost .... idiotic today.

I expect better in the race tomorrow

Weird wasn't it? At the end of the day, once again he's failed to deliver when it counts. And you don't win championships like that.

After that performance I'll be cheering on Jensen tomorrow.
Interesting that Ferrari and Williams both managed to monumentally screw up... :-)

For those who have Sky, are you watching their coverage or BBC's?

BBC for me as I think the Edwards/Coulthard combo beats Croft/Brundle hands down.

Sky for me, not so bothered by the commentary teams but Eddie Jordan and Suzie Perry are enough to make me turn over.

Damon Hill is great value as a pundit too, I enjoy his dry sense of humour.

Sky.

Brundle being the main reason.

Personally cannot stand Coulthard's commentry, it's about as exciting as his driving was ... ie. not very. SKY coverage is far better than the BBC in every way.

What a great result for Hamilton today, English driver wins the British GP, takes maximum points off his team mate and chief title contender, narrows the championship points down to 4 ... what a result ... now he has to maintain and apply the pressure.

On another note, Hamilton lost 1.7 seconds to Rosberg in the pit stops, and his pit crew are always slower than Rosberg's he needs to sort this out too, these kind of things can be critical during races.

It's the same pit crew AFAIK.

A shame we didn't get to see the two of them battle it out, it could have been a great spectacle.

The whingefest between Alonso and Vettel was funny, accompanied by some really good racing.

Think I heard Raikonnen hit 44g in that crash. That's going to hurt.

Agree on the pit stops, and it was good to hear Hamilton say 'don't worry about the pit stop guys, will do a better one next time' or could be translated to 'you ****** muppets, sort it out'

Was good watching that having raced there a few weeks ago. Such a nice circuit.

I think we were in Alonso's garage
