I think Mercedes would get rid of Russell before Antonelli.

Definitely. That's why Merc hasn't resigned George yet. They're waiting to see if Max will sign with them and then they're going to drop George like a rock.

That’s pretty cool. He seems like a genuinely awesome dude.

He’s heavily involved in motor sports, both as a driver and owner of a motorcycle company.

Max is truly an incredible driver to somehow get THAT car on the front row at Silverstone ahead of the McLarens and Lewis.

That lap was a thing of beauty. Just so damned smooth. It looked like he was on a rail. Really pretty.

Gonna be a wet start it looks like.

I really like racing in ever-changing conditions like this. The timing on tire strategy is always interesting.

Piastri might get a penalty for slowing down too much before the restart.

As he should. Dangerous move.

I think the most damning look of what Piastri did was from the Safety Car. I agree it could be a bit harsh but under those terrible conditions I think it was justified.

Great race by Niko Hulk. That team is really doing some things correctly, especially behind the scenes.

Mercedes, wow. Just wow.

Yuki can't make it to the end of the season? For Max to drive such a shit car to where he finished was awesome.

Well done by Aston as well. We give Lance a ton of shit but, he did well today. Well done by Gasly too. I was hoping Bearman would get 10th.

Pretty decent day for Williams as well.

Last year in the wet/dry/wet/dry made for a great race, so hopefully we get the same today.

This makes the case for random sprinklers for all races.

So happy for Nico!  I did kinda want to see HAM on podium for a 13th straight time at Silverstone, but good for Nico and Sauber.

Pretty funny that it was only rookies retiring today, especially w/ all the opportunities.

They had the telemetry from his car, so they had a good idea if it was enough to be considered erratic.  He also did the same thing on an earlier restart.

Had the same humorous thought. Hell, let them know what laps the "rain" might come along with a forecast intensity. Obviously just for fun talk because of safety but damn it's always more fun in mixed conditions. Hulk on the podium from 19th (last on the grid itself) and, what, 8 teams scored points? That was as entertaining as F1 gets for the last couple of decades.

He has done it in other races...  It has two purposes (that I'm aware of) creating a "shockwave" before you leave (affects cars 3 through N more than car 2) and taking some temp off everyone's tires (which I think has less value, since the leader also loses temp) making it take longer for tires to come in.

I also think Oscar just likes fucking with Max...it seems to work to get Max in his feels.

This time Oscar went to far. It looked like he stalled the car.
