Icon7 Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton

Great win at Silverstone today.

That means the gap to Rosberg is now only 4 points!

Bring on Germany!

I really wish that people WOULD NOT POST THE WINNER in the header. Some of us plan to watch the race later, and now thanks to you, I know who won.
It's no fun watching when you know who already won.

Who is Lewis Hamilton?

I thought this was perhaps a post about one of the founders of Hamilton watches.

Knowing who won is a lot different than know just how that person managed to win.

Actually, I always record the race and watch it the following weekend, so I can do some cheese and wine with it.
I just had a good look at the results on the F1 website.
I enjoy it more for the anticipation of seeing how it all plays out, but agree it's a good idea to avoid putting the outcome in the Title as many do prefer to try to avoid learning the result until they watch it (hard to do however).
Another good result for Dan, but a top drive by Bottas apparently.

Congratulations to him, BUT more importantly to Valteri Bottas and Daniel Ricciardio who both but in stellar drives. Congratulations to Button, who finished well. Congratulations to Sebastian Vettle who really did have to Race instead of "drive." Congratulations to Fernando Alonso who gained a total of 11 positions which is incredible.

This race was a very good race, it truly was. I was most disappointed when Alonso did not take 5th, but Vettle worked and over came even though i am not a fan of his. The battle between Alonso and Vettle was true racing and is why we watch it.
