change of weather?

Alonso and Schumi will take the podium I think..

I have a feeling this will be a good race for the RedBulls.

Watching the pre-race coverage - it's overcast, but bone dry at the moment. Silverstone being Silverstone I wouldn't rule out a shower during the race though.

It looks like the race will be run in the dry. Shame.

no problem with having a dry race. then finally everyone WILL see that ferrari has clearly the best car.

after a few laps its already obvious. ferrari the fastest car, schumacher fighting with a difficult car and webber - as always - is just happy to stay behind alonso. he even lifted at the start!

Perez is absolutely right about how Maldonado is getting away with way to much.

btw the BBC has some good side channels, Pitlane video you can listen to all of the conversations between the drivers and pitlane, as well as live timing and onboard cameras.

Unfortunately, money talks, so I'm betting after the race, he'll get away with just a time penalty. Ideally, he should have been disqualified from the race straight away, and fined for reckless driving.

That's a fair point. I miss that too, but I'm still enjoying the races when I can. :) Just fingers crossed for rain or a safety car. :p

Well done Webber, exciting end to that race, shame Button couldn't capitalise a bit more, was less than a sec behind senna for the last 10 laps or so and couldn't get anywhere.

Also I quite like this new ceremony with interviews...except the flags on spinning boards...needs to be a traditional flag!

And Fans being allowed onto the track at the end as it should be!

Will look forward to Maldonado having his Super License revoked. Full respect to Perez for having the balls to stand up and say what he really thinks about him. By the sound of it the same sentiment is shared with most of the paddock. Williams wouldn't dare do anything themselves though, Maldonado's sponsors bring too much money to the team.

A pretty abysmal race for the Brits on the grid but I don't think you can be too harsh on teams choosing the wrong strategy. They had barely any dry practice and no one could have said which combination of tyres would be fastest - who would have thought the difference between a HHS and a SHH strategy could be so significant?

di Resta was really unlucky but Force India didn't look to be anywhere today.

Well done to Webber. I thought Alonso had it in the bag since he had a big gap and fresh soft tyres, but Webber came through pretty easily in the end.

Lotus must have a win coming before the summer break.
