Talking of wars, I wonder who Joe Biden will be invading first?

 

[Drog]

Northern Ireland.

Well spotted Gord. He's a Plastic Paddy.

Tell you what, if this young lad having a go in Hamilton's car for the first time ends up in front of Bottas, can't see the Finn keeping his seat.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Good luck to Max today at Silverstone.

How did the sprint go?

How did the sprint go?

Verstappen on pole then Hamilton on front row in second.
Red Bull appear to have the quickest car at the moment.

Hamilton wins British GP for Britain.

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

It's dog eat dog at the top of that particular tree isn't it?

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Hamilton cheated and deliberately took out his faster opponent at the earliest opportunity. True colours shown there but I can’t understand why he wasn’t disqualified rather than receive a paltry time penalty. His lack of class was also evident when celebrating the “victory“ whilst his opponent was still in hospital. I bet there’s not a lot made of his behaviour in the media here though, I wonder why?

Watching Scalextric is far more exciting.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

I could never keep the damn car on the track.

That's bollocks. Hamilton was level and well on the inside of the track. Verstappen had loads of track to his left. He had no need to turn into Hamilton except that he would have been overtaken and didn't want to be!

6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other.

Nonsense, even the track officials agree and that’s why Hamilton was penalised. I recognised that wheel to wheel tactic of Hamiltons and I’m not a racing driver.
Hamilton knows he can’t catch Verstappen as it has been proven for the last few races. The thought of losing to him again at Silverstone was too much, hence the deliberate cheating. Means, Motive, Opportunity, it’s quite obvious what happened.

I don't give a shit what the officials decided after the rants from the Red Bull guy. Hamilton nearly passed him several times and this was another legitimate attempt. Have a look at all that track available to Verstappen. He was going to be passed and had no need to turn into Hamilton there was plenty of track on the other side. Did you even watch the race? There was no deliberate cheating except from the Red Bull official influencing the stewards with his ranting.

Hamiltkon is a good driver as we all now but but what keeps him top of the pile is that he can be a street racer to boot.

I’ve seen the footage and that’s enough for me. We won’t bore everyone continuing this, I know what I saw and the race officials agreed with me.

So you didn't watch the race then. I did!
