@Giles:

Amazing from Hamilton…...

given that last 2 laps of the race, he is one fucking lucky bastard i tell ya.

had verstappen not pitted and gone for softs to get fastest lap, hamilton would've lost it.

also that mercedes car is bloody unreal at the moment to be at least 1-2seconds ahead of the pack. but the skeptic in me thinks if they're so far ahead, something must be fishy in that garage..

Winners ride their luck 

No one seems to be bitching about them, unlike with Ferarri last year…..

[louisbosco]

the ferrari cars this year is abysmal and shocking. leclerc was fortunate to be where he is. onto the next silverstone and it'll be interesting to see how the tires hold up this coming weekend..

[Giles]

Of course they are abysmal, whatever they were doing illegally last year, that cant do this

[Chesson]

I dont think the Ferarri is that bad this year, they have a driver with no experience who couldn't tell you what a good car is meant to feel like and another driver who doesn't really care what it feels like. The Mercs have just got ALOT better and so have all the other teams, McLaren/Racing Point/Renault. A deserved win by Lewis, even though I cant stand the guy.

@Chesson although as soon as the FIA stopped Ferrari doing 'whatever they were doing illegally' last season, their car become mid-table pretty much straight away and havent improved this season, while everyone else has. So maybe their car was a dog and the speed/engine issue covered how bad the car was?

Agree, a deserved win from Lewis, looking forward to next weeks now!

[Chesson]

@Steve The Ferrari's dont have stright line speed issue now though, Seb has been complaining that the car is unbalanced and unstable in the corners. At silverstone they had the second fastest top speed in the traps, so the engine is still strong. Aero is all wrong. It's all above Alonso back in the McLaren next season now though!

Lewis Hamilton is a fucking magician…....

[Giles]

Yep, Lewis does not need to barge people off the track to win….

he's had his fair share of barging.. just ask albon and rosberg.. 

[Giles]

Rosberg gave as good as he got, Albon is just unlucky…....

[louisbosco]

this never gets old, i never get tired of watching it 

to top it off with this joke from vettel in 2015. they actually did it..

[Giles]

Hamilton is a magician….

[Giles]

Congratulations Lewis…

[louisbosco]

Hope Grosjean recovers soon. That was a nasty crash. the angels were definitely with him today.

[Giles]

I think he will be fine.  But when I saw the car cut in half, I really thought there was no way, he was going to get out with "minor" injuries…..

[louisbosco]

I believe I heard the commentators mention he had second degree burns and a few bruised ribs. wasn't good watching it live just seen the fireball and watching him jump out of the fire when they deemed it okay to show the replays. would've been a whole different story if he was knocked unconscious which thankfully he wasn't.

there was certainly something about fires and this race. Perez's car caught on fire at the end too.
