Good race. Great at the beginning, and rain made it interesting at the end, too. Wonder how Williams feels right now.

It almost looked like Williams had traction control during the race start.

That was a great race. Fun to see Williams pull a 1-2 for many laps, but very satisfying for Hammy to call a tire change on lap 44, the rains come, and he wins his third British GP. Great fun!

M-B had a new clutch set up for 2015 L H loved it
N R hated it so they started using the 2014 clutch and N R was winning starts now they are supposed to each have the clutch they wanted !! I wonder if they got the right ones or were the clutches mixed up in the wrong cars !! |

Very intriguing race. I'm no Hamilton fan, but I was happy to see him win. The BBC pre-race production was spectacular.

I thought for sure that Hamilton had pissed away his race--like Monaco, but this time it was his call--when he called in to pit for new tires. I had that sinking feeling right up until Will Buxton announced that the heavens had opened. Suddenly Hamilton was on intermediates when the rest of the field (save Raikonen) was on slicks. That was pure luck on Hamilton's part, but he was due some luck. Most gambles like this seem to go against him, but he wins anyway.

Cant understand why you guys are so anti-Hamilton. Now thats he's rid of that high maintenance American Cougar, he's far better of mentally and it shows in his race perfomances
