Silverstone F1 action

Good to see a wet race and the carnage ensuing.

Sorry to see Coulthard go off. Glad to see some real racing going on as you need some expertise to drive one of those in the wet. Hamiltons just bagged the lead!

At the current rate of attrition, I wonder if only a couple of cars will finish. Good for the back markers.

shame next years will be the last at silverstone though

Can't knock Lewis. Over 60 seconds ahead, considering the on/off form of the car throughout the race. Good to see the Ferrari's are at least not all conquering either as they've been spinning off all afternoon. However, proof they are the luckiest team in F1, all those spins and not a wall hit or a retirement. Luck of the devil. Pity of the day is Webber, genius of the day is Rubens with Ross Brawn giving an alternative strategy on extreme wets.

Pray they don't talk to Murray again before the end!

It rained so hard here 3 laps from the end we lost our satellite signal so had to switch to terrestrial.

British crowds are the loudest in the world! Good to see Lewis do the business, silence the critics and bypass the commentator curses!

He didn't, went off in the early part of the race.

i don't follow the F1 religiously. what has been so bad in the last month for lewis, they keep banging on about what a hard month he's had but i haven't heard anything other than when his dad ditched that carrera GT.

the media build them up to tear them down- it's the law. If there's no rollercoaster the media are sh1t scared no-one will be interested.

so its just genral expectations and **** talking by the media then is it!
