British Grand Prix 2018: Grand Prix Weekend Thread

One of the highlights of the season, the super-fast circuit of Silverstone plays host to the race that began the world championship in 1950.

Lola should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Is there anywhere online to see live timing or results from the support races? I would like to follow the Masters F1.

Mercedes fastest to begin with. Grosjean gets caught out by the bumps at turn one. Few offs here and there on this challenging track

Was it the bumps or the bumps and he didn't get the DRS closed? I've seen 2 reports saying he likely missed the DRS close and snap went the rear at turn in.

He said it was so bumpy he couldn't get his thumb onto the DRS button because of the vibration.

As they said on the C4 coverage why push to the limit in FP1? He should have been closing it a bit earlier. It's not like it was the first lap and he didn't know about the bumps.

The British GP marks the end of the first half of the season and it's nicely poised with Vettee's one point lead over Lulu. If FP2 is anything to go by, it looks like Ferrari have the edge over Mercedes.

I see Grosjean is true to form after Austria.

For me, even more than the crashing itself, I can't stand the lack of ownership. If you tell the truth, I will give you a pat on the back and words of encouragement. That's something we all understand.

At McLaren and Brabham De Crasheris was given the same #8 as Grosjean now uses. Jokes re #8 reads the same when upside down apply.

F1Guy User has been fined for unsportsmanlike behaviour!
The track seems to be much more bumpier than last year. Apparently, the track surface was re-laid to a tolerance of 3mm.


Silverstone MD Stuart Pringle: "The asphalt mix is state-of-the-art. It's been laid to extremely fine tolerances, much finer than on the public highway, that are not easily achieved by most people in that business."


Umm.. yeah. Ok.

Hartley should have taken that Indycar deal. He could have driven a Honda that's actually competitive in a series where more than four cars are capable of being realistic title contenders.

So Lulu's on pole, followed by Vettee, Kimi and Valteri. Max and Ricci are 5th and 6th.
