It was down to qualifying set up.  Hamiltons pace was better in the race.  Had it not been for the two cars breaking down then he may have had a points finish.

Not sure about that, George's fastest race lap was quicker than Lewis'. He did have a points finish though

[manxman1980]

Yes, you are right he did but I meant a higher point finish.

I think yesterday was another example of Hamiltons ability to race.

It was a good GP showing that the cars can run closely together.  Well done George and to Lando who finished better than expected.

Thanks also to Latifi and Schumacher who both totalled their cars as usual, thereby suitably bunching the field for a closer race.

Is it too early to say it’s Ferarri’s year?

I don't think so, they've really got their act together.

My money's on Max but let's see.

The Spanish GP was entertaining... have a look if you have not yet seen it.  An inspired drive by George, our future champion no doubt, including a wheel to wheel battle with Max.  Also a great recovery effort from Hamilton after being clouted off by Magnusson and a brave effort from Lando who made 8th despite a bout of the squitters.  Ugh!

Yes, it's worth watching again but no way am I paying for a live subscription, Channel 4 catchup is fine for me.

I still kid myself that the vast Sky coverage is worth the vast sub... just about.  It includes lots of other topics as well as the GP. 

I like Martin Brundle and Ted Kravitz, but 'Crofty' gets on my wick a bit.  However, Natalie Pinkham in a good frock more than compensates.

Whoah, Mick Schumacher walking away from that! Amazing.

They should make him clear it up.  He causes most of them (with help from Latifi).

Making a belated comment, the Silverstone race was astonishing for a number of reasons, not least the impressive rescue and clear up after the huge crash.  A miraculous survival.

Now Austria... often exciting.

Another interesting race from Austria.  I was pleased for the winner who seems like a good guy.  George made a great recovery and MSC was driver of the day, deservedly.

I seem to be chatting to myself again!  Have you all switched off?
