Wouldn't spoil my day with a Ferrari winning. Anyone except Max is perfectly fine with me.

I’m going with Sainz although I’d be happy if Max won too so the folks that booed him can go home disappointed.

Hell of a race. Wreck at the start was horrific but very happy Zhou is alright.

Last few laps were brilliant. Very happy for Sainz in his first win, and Lewis nabbing a podium was well deserved.

That was a beautiful race for what was the largest crowd at Silverstone.

Was really worried for Zhou but glad he is unscathed. I think they'll have a rethink about the gap between the tire walls and fencing. From what I learned from someone that does track safety, the idea is for the fence to be a secondary barrier and for the tire wall to have that space so it has room to move and deflect the impact of the crash. What a good person George is...to stop his car and go check on his friend Alex. He could have limped it back to the pits spewing debris everywhere, but he definitely looks like someone with character.

Mega race from Lewis and my heart broke for Charles, but happy that Smooth Operator got his first win following his first pole position. I love how Ferrari has good camaraderie among its drivers. If the team can up their strategy game, I think they'll be tough to beat. Checo did so well to grab second after starting where he did and it was a hard day for Max. But good race and I enjoyed it a lot.

I believe there is a genuinely collegial attitude between Sainz and LeClerc. However, the fact that Binotto managed to leave Silverstone without LeClerc leaving a dead fish in Binotto's suitcase is a minor miracle.

Binotto has left the door wide open for Red Bull to run away with the constructor's, and for Merc to take second. If the poor strategy keeps up, Binotto will not only be staring down 3rd, but have two very irked drivers.

Ferrari haven't had good strategy in years, Vettel used to instruct the pit wall on many occasions when he was there. This is nothing new.

They had a most-recent run of being able to duck behind a crappy car. That's gone, so the real cockroach is being seen.
