I guess the last fully wet race was Interlagos 2016. I can’t think of any other race since than that’s been completely wet from start to finish.

I disagree, there are conditions that can be considered too wet. […]

@david-br
I think driving styles are so unique that it’s difficult to put them in certain categories. As you pointed out, Hamilton is very good on fast and flowing circuits like Silverstone, but at the same time […]

So, what new evidence have RB gathered to make the stewards change their initial decision? Let me guess……none!
As long as RB won’t be trying to bribe the stewards, I don’t see this going anywhere.
It’s all […]

@todfod
It definitely does and the corners’ radiuses are shorter than at Silverstone or Barcelona, which might help Ferrari.
The crucial factor for them will be, not to lose too much time in S1. If they lose 0.2 […]

Ferrari may be playing down their chances a little bit. Who wouldn’t do so in there position?! It would be foolish from them to blast out an aggressive statement and expect to challenge for the race win.
On the […]

@todfod
Yes, Silverstone is more high speed, but there are still some slower corners there, i.e. T3+4, 6, 7, 16 & 17.
And that’s exactly where Leclerc made up all his time on Hamilton in the first stint. […]

@bascb
How would Bottas come out behind Ricciardo, Sainz and Alonso?!
Although Sainz was starting to lap quicker than Bottas, he was still 11.7 behind the Mercedes when Bottas made his stop on lap 22. Had Bottas […]

Definitely a tough one to decide. On the one hand, Max was in front and on the faster outside line coming into Copse and Lewis was on the tighter slower line. So the Mercedes was always going to understeer a bit […]

It depends on what Mercedes would have done with Bottas, had Norris had a normal pit stop. I think Mercedes would have likely extended his stint on the mediums, to have fresher tires available and a better chance […]

The conditions were vastly differnet from the one in Paul Ricard: the track was rubbered in and track temperatures were very high (complete opposite to the French GP)
They won’t know if they solved their issues […]

It’s funny. When Leclerc hit Gasly on the rear tire at the Styrian GP everyone was crying for a penalty, but when Hamilton does it it’s fair and should be treated as a racing incident?! Leclerc got massive […]

No, Carlos was about 7 seconds ahead of Bottas and 11 ahead of Norris. He would have probably hunted down Norris in the closing stages of the race, but probably remained behind him.
His slow pit stop didn’t […]

What a shame for Charles! It was nearly the perfect weekend for him: Best of the rest (and beating Perez) in qualifying on Friday, then 4th again in the sprint, passing Bottas at the start and capitalizing on the […]

@carbon_fibre
I did too :( Really gutted for him, as he lead basically the whole race. It seemed like Charles never managed to get them into their optimal operating window, as he also lost time in those corners, […]

So gutted for Charles, losing the win just 2.5 laps from finish! If only the Ferrari had 0.2 or 0.3 more pace on the Hards ;(
But a fantastic comeback from Lewis to seal the win!

But did Mercedes really need […]

Great drives by Zhou and Ticktum! A well deserved win for Zhou and Ticktum finally shows what he is capable of, if he doesn’t behave like a total lunatic.
For some reason both Prema drivers seemed to struggle […]

Sainz did nothing wrong there. In fact, he already completed the move around the outside in Brooklands and then Russell locked up. The Williams had more than enough room to easily make the corner, but he didn’t […]

Maybe a slightly harsh decision, given it was a frist-lap-incident, but Russell is clearly to blame for that collision. He probably got a little bit distracted by the McLaren locking up in front of him, but that […]

@gt-racer
I don’t think it will take action away from the main race, but rather add some for Sunday (get fans excited).
Yes, the drivers will be very cautious on overtaking moves they aren’t 100% sure about. […]

Considering none of the top-10 runners have any fresh softs left, I expect them to all start on the mediums. From Alonso down, a fresh set of softs is definitely an option, as the degredation doesn’t seem too bad […]
