Hopefully Lewis will win if he doesn't have any reliability problems and nico doesn't try to knock him off again! Really want jenson to be on the podium though he deserves it!

massive respect to jenson for putting up with car he was given to drive but reckon this season will be his last tbh lee, I think we simply want to see a guts n glory race with rosberg in tears even if vettel or lewis wins

Yeah I agree shame really that the mclaren is no good I'm sure it will be in time. Not a good start for rosberg in practice but I'm sure Mercedes's will get the car sorted for qualifying

Not watched F1 for years but saw highlights on Sunday.
Pretty entertaining last lap, apparently there is a bit of a back-story to it

Classy drive and driven well by hamilton, lack of spills made it lacklustre but I will take a english win at silverstone anytime, well done to Max and rosberg facing investigation again and could be demoted

Great to have a British winner, well done Lewis. Daft rule and shame for rosberg but in all fairness in Baku Mercedes's didn't tell Lewis over radio what mode he needed and it cost him time, where they clearly told nico what to do, daft rule but rules are rules!
