Could not of gone better

Hamilton is really impressing me this season

Not even the 2nd best car on the grid but yet he is championship leader

Made even more sweeter by that little evil monkey alonso's penalty

Does anyone actually like Alonso? He even ruined his own team mates race, something Massa clearly wan't best pleased about (even if he tried not to let it on!)

Well done to Webber, Hamilton, and Button

Just imagine if Lewis was in a redbull at the moment! Great drives from our lads

Can't stand Alonso but that drive through was mega harsh! Should have just left him out there to get overtaken

I think Mclaren has the best cars on the grid? Not the festest yet, but redbull are not as reliable and have had there own issues.

And you forgot about his team mate, on a simular level, currently 2nd in the points, and today 14th to 4th

i do not agree one bit

red bulls reliability has been fine and has hamilton has just said on the bbc - the red bulls just have to much grip and is the better car

the ferraris also seem to be faster recently but both there drivers are not 'right in the head' as far as im concerned

hamilton has dragged that mclaren to the top of the championship kicking and screaming

if his car was anywhere near the red bulls in terms of performance he would have the title in the bag already

but yes i agree button has done a good job

however, a lot of his points have come from clever strategy rather than out and out skill

Great day...

woke up to a phonecall from a mate saying two spare tickets for todays race, fancy them... Only 1.5hrs before the start so hacked it down the M1 made it with 10mins to spare...

I find F1 boring but gold tickets for free would have been rude to turn down.. How loud!

Good race, proof of how far ahead Red Bull are is with the extra speed they can carry through some corners, Vettel inparticular with the new nosecone.

More junk laying on the track, Alonso's toys again, he threw some out at the last race, Mark Webber got his own back on his team nicking his front wing, i am a McClaren fan but i do like Webber

Cant say I agree there Lee, they had one each to use in practice ( and over the weekend ) but Seb's broke, it should have been left at that IMO.

Looking forward to PICS!

It broke through no fault in his own though....

Driver ahead in championship gets best bits I think.

I DO think they should have backed webber more when they colided though in earlier race. That was bollocks!

Webber never broke his too and is also a championship contender.

I'd agree with the bit in bold if thats an explicit term of their contracts, but judging by what Webber has said then it isnt.

As a judgement call on Saturday I think it was a bad one that will have some long running consequences.

Red Bull have a heirarchical problem IMO with Horner and Masetchitz reporting into the owner

lee they do get the best parts

WHEN there the known 1st driver, lewis ALWAYS got the updates over hekki but it was known he was number one.

webbers problem is he is being told there is no number one or 2 in the team they are both equal but they are clearly not.

Quality pic! lol!


few pics of sunday....


drove to Denham to get a chopper in. Seems few other Fiat owners had same idea!


on way Maria went Topless it seems


cool views


Silverstone




Red arrows.



We were sitting in grandstand just by finish line so was good to watch all the grid stuff and the start



Seats were good in grandstand as could see the Tv screen and with radio in my ear could follow race really well


taking pics of speeding cars is hard hahahah


Was lucky that sitting opposite finish line I didnt have to move to see presentations and champagne spraying


Was mooching around paddock and found this! how cooool! want one!



Leaving! emptied really quicky

Kubica carried on for at least a lap or two after the event. Fonzy had plenty of time. Not like there hasn't been a precident set! At least when it happened to Lewis (Spa) he made a sort of attempt at giving the place back.
