British Grand Prix At Silverstone

[Angellica 0]

Well this is my home race in that I don't live that far from there but sadly I won't be going. However, my local weather does cover Silverstone. It's looking like potentially being a wet Friday Practice but so far they're saying dry for Qualifying and the Race

I know, you all think it does nothing but rain here, but honest, it doesn't. We've had a nice bit of sunshine this week for a change.

So who do you think will win? I am going to say Vettel of course but Alonso could go well here. I can't see us getting a British winner though, McLaren are nowhere and Hamilton's car just isn't up to it I don't think though he could get pole perhaps.

Webber for the last time

Anyone but vettel, to keep the wdc alive.

The lotus is quick, so I'm with kimi for this one. May be Lewis or nico in the top 3 and hopefully an improvement from button and Perez.

Mark can't do a good start to save his life.

Massa, on the other hand...

[Quiet One 15]

What's wrong with those tires??? Lewis and Massa's races ruined!

I hate you, Pirelli. Get the hell out of F1.

[LabradoRacer 2]

WTF? Vergne now?!

[BradSpeedMan 6]

and we all thought RBR was just moaning about the saftey of the tyres!!!! There you have it folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Quiet One 15]

And now Vergne...I've never seen anything like this.

Read on ESPNF1 that Vettel too has suffered damage on his rear left tire.

Yeah Vettel told to stay of the kerbs, what a joke this is

[LabradoRacer 2]

It's one thing for tires to degrade quickly, it's quite another for them to burst just like that. The teams should band together & refuse any further racing until given proper racing tires.

[LabradoRacer 2]

From ESPNF1: Webber's radio tells him "Vettel's still running but his tyres have cuts, we found cuts on his left rear"

[Quiet One 15]

So the accident that Checo suffered during practice was like these ones as well? They said it was down to a new component in the Maccas, but this changes it all.

Will they race until the end? Safety is a big concern now.

Pirelli is probably on their way out as soon as possible. This and the testgate might prove too much for their PR, with almost nonexistant brand image gaining.

Indeed.

Great recovery drive in progress by my boy webber after his trademark disgusting start

[Quiet One 15]

Vettel!

Why is Kimi not pitting?! How can this team be so clueless! Kimi better get out of there soon and grab that Red Bull contract.

[Quiet One 15]

Vettel gets lucky even in misfortune, as the SC caught Alonso in 8th place..

[Quiet One 15]

The most awful and most wonderful race at the same time!

[LabradoRacer 2]

Checo's rear left failure should seriously set alarm bells ringing.

Good recovery by Lewis & Felipe. Alonso & Webber did well to maximize their chances.

Nice that the WDC standings is still a bit close.

Well done nico holding of webber one more lap and webber would have had, what a recovery from webber. Shocking race in terms of tyres something has to be done there. Vettel's luck has FINALLY come to an end

I don't think that had anything to do with luck. Ferrari simply correctly guessed that there'd be a SC for Vettel's retirement, very good call, really. The Lotus team on the other hand... how can they be such idiots... they just don't seem to have any idea.

Failing to pit when SV stopped cost a few drivers some points today.
