2023 British Grand Prix Race

Really didn't think the Mclarens could hold that on the hards. That was spectacular.

Hope we dont have track limits ruining the race afterwards again.

Mclaren nooo why hards??

I think I’m this was all that what was available for them.
Turns out they seem to make it.
If this works out and Norris holds for the last few laps from Hamilton, oh my god.
McLaren engineer lost at the front row

Just 3 more laps Norris pls stay within track limits 🙏🙏

It wouldn't be an F1 race without a funny Ferrari radio.

Sounds like the race engineer didn’t know the strategy either. Lol

Awesome start by Lando. Feels like Max is inevitable though.

Both mclarens managed to pull a nice gap from Ferrari though! These upgrades have been amazing for them.
Perhaps not as inevitable as we thought!
he already got him at lap 5 now.
Best friend Max letting his buddy lead the race for a few laps.

I forgor xD

Have fun today! I’m Dutch but I’m rooting for Lando today! 🚀

Welp that was fun while it lasted!

Well this race went from yay to meh really fast

yeah not much happening rn. Unfortunately the rain just missed the track.

The McLarens have held onto their positions so far. Very impressive.

I'm not a fan of the team or the drivers, really, but it's always great to see teams stepping it up. Hoping for a competitive next season!
Agreed! Both the upgrades and driver’s performance have been spot on so far!
Yeah, I'm surprised with the McLaren performance this race. They've dealt with Mercedes so well.

A Williams car passed a Ferrari. It successfully defended against a Ferrari. And it was ahead of BOTH Ferraris.

And Norris P2! Piastri P3 would've been icing on the cake, but hey P4 as a rookie? Impressive.

Insane stuff from Norris. Holding off Hamilton while on the hards is such a monumental feat.

Unfortunate situation for Piastri. Deserved that podium, but I think he'll be happy with a P4 as a rookie.

Happy to see Williams eventually get some points.

Disasterclass for Ferrari.

What was Stroll doing there?

Well deserved penalty for that ridiculous move. Poor Gasly, he was pretty quick today.

Ooof, Ferrari 9 and 10…

Well, Alpine taking the worst day trophy from under Ferrari's nose.

Piastri would have gotten third if not for the safety car. That's crazy.

This race better not have a load of penalties given out in the next few hours due to track limits.

Actually very interesting race

I hope those hards work out

Verstappen more on top of Ferrari strategy than Ferrari.

Safety Car!

Ferrari strategy strikes again

yeah why did they pit leclerc so early?
- he was holding up Russell, they were just being nice
- Feels like they could've pit sainz with soft as well

McLaren handling those hards like champs :O

McLaren pulled a Ferrari

Ofc stroll is involved, he's seriously dangerous

I still haven't forgiven him for tying to run vettel over at the finish line last year

It's a shame about AM, feels like they have fallen off in these two last races.

I really hope Piastri can make it to the podium but I think the Hards just killed that :(

Lando understandably pissed as hell

we can be lucky if Norris makes it to the podium

That Williams is now a certified midfield car, love to see it.

This SC has worked only for Mercedes.

Love Zach brown beating everyone up with high fives and excited hugs lol

Hope we get some rain as well.

Looks like it already is raining. The colour of the track has changed.

Well this race is a surprise

McLaren might not end up with a podium at all here :(

Norris putting up an amazing fight tho!
- About to unseat Checo as minister of defense.

perez still p14 lol.

Such a shame to see him foundering so much in the 2nd quarter of the season. Would love to see a closer championship force him out and some driver shuffling!

Is Pep Guardiola in with Mercedes?

yea he‘s in the garage next to Toto.
Gopd eye! ESPN just tweeted a pic of them togeyher
Yup

Norris squeezing everything out of those hards. 👏👏

nooo oscar lost the p3 with this SC i guess? :(

yeah he got screwed
- also hamilton with softs behind norris on hards… maaannn cmon mclaren.

Will Stroll get a penalty for that?

I'm not that familiar enough with what it's supposed to sound like, but isn't that a rather poor interpretation of the British national anthem?

Podium and Shakira. Not a bad weekend for Lewis really.

Oh yes Lando! These McLaren upgrades seem like the real deal.

It definitely seems like the pack over the last few races are closing up to red bull (probably because they are focussing on next year)

Perez showing why someone else should be in that car this weekend.

I really hope lando gets a good start this time.
- It wasn't too shabby was it.
- I'd love to see Max and Lando duke it out on equal terms

Looks like it's time for another listening of the dutch national anthem.

Norris: I'm chilling hbu?

But how many moreaps can you do!?

Oof sainz

My man had a train run on him, that pass from Checo was beautiful though.

Can Albon sneak past Alonso? Here's hoping!

well at least he gets DRS to defend against Leclerc

Oh man bad luck for Piastri.

aston martin struggling

McLaren need to use both cars around the pit stops to try get past Max again.

I think they’ll be focused on staying 2-3 rather than gambling for 1st. Max is inevitable.

So how's everyone watching the GP here? I'm just casting my F1TV.

Sky via NOW TV. F1TV isn’t available in the U.K. :(
I have the F1tv app on my nvidia shield.
- yep, same here. Wish it was 4K but oh well. Now if they could make it auto switch to 50hz so that it's properly synchronized that'd be nice

Charles LecPain

I want to see the weather radar to get an idea what the chances for rain are

Hope the rest of them comes here from reddit

Will we see some spiciness like yesterday

Lando P1. Turning it off now. I saw all I needed to see.

Mixed conditions British GP with Lando on the front row? LET’S GOOOOO!

Seems like the timing of the SC essentially made it so that apart from a few unfortunate cars who came in early, the order is largely gonna stay the same, cause everyone is pitting. Oh well.

Did Crofty really just say an Eminem line? This feels surreal lol

George Russel goes round the outside, round the outside, round the outside?
Yeah I heard Ben Edwards on F1TV say the same thing.
what did he say
- 2 girls going round the outside, while talking about russell

What's going on with Aston Martin? They're struggling and they had such a good start of the season.

Mercedes, Ferrari, and McLaren all brought pretty major upgrades in the last few races and AM haven’t. It’ll be interesting to see if they can cling on for the rest of the season. In situations like this the cost cap might make things less competitive since the established teams have such better facilities.
- I completely forgot about upgrades.

Maybe Ferrari just invented plan B?

Oy alpine having a baaad weekend

Is this new compound affecting AM and RBR's pace? Can see the rain falling in the distance!

Often told story - ,that Newey car is unbeatable in the right hands,

Not sure if late posting or wrong thread. Wither way, it's an often told story!

so plan B it is.

What happened to the Ferrari engine this weekend!?

Why hards for Sainz Ferrari?

One stop will probably be faster than a two stop as far as I understand.

Did Lewis just get old softs though? They definitely weren't shiny.

George started on used softs.
they are like 3 laps „old“
yeah I don't think anyone still had new set of softs
- I think Max is the only one with one new set of softs. He did one less run in qualifying.
- Must have missed that, the tire age graphics agree. But I find that's not that reliable.

Not sure about Leclerc's defending earlier, but it'd a nice fun battle.

What are people’s thoughts on always having laps 3-5ish being dedicated to replaying the start?

on f1tv you get split screen view. so it does not bother me.
- Ah that must be nice. It always seems weird to me that they cut away as soon as DRS becomes enabled.

Well I guess it's going to be VER, HAM, RUS for the podium...

What is happening to Carlos?

This tyre doesn't feel so good = Bono, my tyres are gone.

Lmao satsuma

No more overtakes anyone?

Sainz just going backward.

Hamilton not catching the Ferraris since he passed Alonso.

That tire difference is crazy... George just drove past.

What a fight for p2

Aw poor Ocon :/ I was wondering what happened

Epic first lap! Anyone know if that’s just water splashing up when they clip the kerbs?

some drivers are reporting rain.

They should do Softs on the mclarens. George did 29 laps with it.

The softs have not worked for George.

well at least those tires seem to be holding on alright

Stewards really gets a hard on every time they hand out a track limit warning.
