I'm looking forward to the "Mario Kart" racing with the 3 DRS zones. Just need really long straits like in Baku to pull off a pass.

Will Vettel think he got the star and starts ramming people off the track again?

I just finished watching the MotoGP race at Assen, if we can get a race half as exciting as the MotoGP one, I'll be happy enough.

Thrilled Ferrari is back on top in both championships.
Much props to the top 3 for making their tires last 50+ laps, pretty weird to see RIC destroy his softs so quickly though.
Trouble looming ahead for the Mercedes spec 2 engines?

On to Silverstone...

Inderdaad Robin .Maar ik moet hier toch nog iets aan toevoegen.. Als Max dit jaar in de juiste auto zat , dan werd hij dit jaar ook al wereldkampioen .
F1 is eigenlijk een oneerlijke autosport . De piloot die met het beste chassis en beste betrouwbare motor rijd , rijd zichzelf eigenlijk tot wereldkampioen.
Die F1 piloten kunnen natuurlijk allemaal rijden , maar er zijn er slechts enkele die met minder ook meer kunnen laten zien...
En dat laat Max nu net zien met zijn buitengewoon uitzonderlijk talent , en dit alles op zijn zeer jonge leeftijd !
Ik moet zeggen WOW !

Definitely the most exciting race of the season. Vettel was almost the first retiree. It seemed like a pretty big suspension hit from Grosjean at the beginning.

I was quite surprised to see the massive Max hate earlier this year, especially in the English press. Just because of a string of incidents for which he was only partly to blame. The Beeb clearly prefers their F1 poster boy Daniel Ricciardo.

Obviously, everybody loves Danny because he is such a likeable guy. But let's face it (all you Max haters take notice): Max is the better driver! And ever since the Spanish GP Max has destroyed Danny in both quali and in the race. If Max hadn't make that mistake in Monaco in quali, he would have won the Monaco GP too.

Fantastic race on perhaps the most beautiful track in all of F1!

I was hoping Kimi would win though, Max has countless race wins ahead of him so it would have been nice to see Kimi get at least one more.

I'm very surprised Ferrari didn't swap Kimi and Seb at the end there, if the championship comes down to just a few points this race will surely be remembered!

If I was Hamilton, I'd pimp slap everybody in the Mercedes garage for leaving him out there during the VSC. Sure, his car blew up later in the race, but we can also say his car blew up because he was playing catch up the whole time.

I also want to see the picture of all the tires and carbon fiber this track ate up, from Practice days to race day.

I really want to play the tiny violin for the crocodile tears Mercedes is shedding. They've been so boringly dominant for the past 4 years, we all need a break once in a while.

I don't know why they're all such sad sacks over there; most cars break-down every so often, it's part of racing - get over it.

Doesn't Hamilton hold the record for most consecutive finishes or something like that?

Yes, but Ferrari did that about 16 years ago on this same track. And the fans didn't like it.
