Lewis Hamilton has won the British Grand Prix for the fifth time in his career. Valtteri Bottas finished second after a late race charge while both Ferraris dropped down the order following left front punctures close to the end. Raikkonen salvaged by completing the podium.
Here's a low res pic should not be too heavy on mobile data, GRO claims he could have caught the Force Indias (~0.3s) - he then messed up his second attempt.
Was is about the set or was it more about complains where Ferrari released him? Vettel seemed to have taken an extra helping of whinny today after his Q3 attempt, perhaps he was bothered already due to the tires and the track position was the icing on the cake. In any case, it's never a good idea to throw your team under the bus over the radio.
Whatever mate, I'm not interested.TAG wrote: ↑15 Jul 2017, 15:52Was is about the set or was it more about complains where Ferrari released him?

Wow, thanks!!! As far as i see it, the stewards can only lose here. No penalty would be inconsistent, penalty and it would be opening a whole new can of worms IMO. It sucks that something like that, however unfortunate, can result in a penalty. GRO will not gain anything from it, no matter how high it could realistically be.RZS10 wrote: ↑15 Jul 2017, 15:48Here's a low res pic should not be too heavy on mobile data, GRO claims he could have caught the Force Indias (~0.3s) - he then messed up his second attempt.

GRO and HAM are with the stewards looking at replays and data apparently (or will do shortly) ... it's either a reprimand or up to 3 places grid drop
No worries, Hamilton keeps his pole so we'll have a good scrap at the top tomorrow!Juzh wrote: ↑15 Jul 2017, 15:56Whatever mate, I'm not interested.TAG wrote: ↑15 Jul 2017, 15:52Was is about the set or was it more about complains where Ferrari released him?

Perhaps to discourage people from getting in the way of other people on hot laps. Suppose this had been the other way around? Suppose Hamilton had messed up his first lap and, this time, Grosjean blocks him and stops him getting into the top 6? Or, suppose we're at Monaco and it's Vettel 'making a gap' at Rascasse?
None of what you have mentioned, is worse than a driver deliberately banging his car with another car. So, as per FIA standards, a honest apology is enough to get out of the bigger crime, then in this case, even an apology isn't required. Still, Lewis has apologized. That's big.Wynters wrote: ↑15 Jul 2017, 16:08Perhaps to discourage people from getting in the way of other people on hot laps. Suppose this had been the other way around?

Another disappointing call by the Stewards.
1. On Sky they said Lewis left enough space after the start-stop line and in addition Grosjean improved on that particular lap by 3 tenths ... and that will be sufficient for the stewards to take no further action ...RZS10 wrote: ↑15 Jul 2017, 15:48Here's a low res pic should not be too heavy on mobile data, GRO claims he could have caught the Force Indias (~0.3s) - he then messed up his second attempt.
