Disappoint race for Lawson, he was doing ok running at 15th and heading up a DRS train but they couldn't pass him but had to retire after his last pit stop.
Good win for Russel, but the talk of the weekend is the McLaren incident. Piastri and Norris were racing, and Norris got it wrong and hit the wall. He immediately stuck his hand up and said it was his fault, all on him etc and owned it. I respect that and it's why I think he's so popular.
Sadly, it's perhaps also why I doubt he really is a world champion driver. I think you need to be a bit more of an arse. Could you see any of Max, Hamilton, Vettel etc immediately owning the mistake and not trying to pin it on the other driver?

Finally it looks like Lawson is driving with confidence in the car and his luck appears to have changed. Previously if something could go wrong for him, it did.
Tsunoda showing that being #2 to Max is a career killer.

Huge result. Weak start but worked in his favour as Verstappen was taken out.
Held off Alonso for 50 odd laps too as on same strategy. Beat Hadjar too.
Meanwhile, his Red Bull replacement? Dead last.
He’s now looking like solid lower-mid table driver. Awesome for him, if he can keep the team on side he’s on his way now.
What do you do when your Hadjar and Red Bull offer you the Red Bull seat end of year?

Huge changes next year, with new engines and completely new cars. If they continue on this design track the second seat will continue to be a graveyard. Of course, if Max leaves...... Red Bull need a hard reset

@canefan Russell confirmed he was speaking to Mercedes. So anything is on. Well known Jos Verstappen does not like Horner.
Hard to predict this years movements. My guess, based on nothing is:
Max to Mercedes.
Hamilton out of F1
Russell to Ferrari
Tsunoda to RB
Hadjar to Red Bull
Red Bull 2: rookie. -
Awesome jam packed with entertainment British GP. After a few months of blistering sunshine, the rain of course made its second appearance (since the last bank holiday) to disrupt things.
Crap for our man Lawson, shunted off by a racing incident in one of the first corners. 3 cars trying to go around a corner, Lawson wasn't to know what that the third car was there. At least Tsunoda came dead last proving once again what we all hoped, the problem was the car, not the driver.
McLaren dominance up front. Piastri's race really but he fucked up a post safety car. He can whinge, cry, moan as much as he wanted, and yes I'm sure Max played it a bit, but he did lose 100mph of speed by aggressive braking behind the safety car, rules say you can't do that, so suck it up.
Norris therefore gets his home GP win and boy was he happy and emotional about it. Now only 8 points behind Piastri, the race is back on.
But of course the biggest news for Hulkenberg. Finally gets a podium in his 239th attempt. It's impossible not to be happy for him, his team played a blinder, pitting to perfection in amongst the inclement weather. Amazing day for him.
