Lewis wins the British GP despite a last lap puncture.

Pisss poor race.....if you can call that a race!

[NewClaret]

Wouldn’t quite describe it as **** poor.

Two safety cars, got a bit tasty after the second, then processional, then 3 really exciting laps at the end. I’ve never seen a car win with a puncture before. Has it ever been done?

Not sure but I can recall someone trying to push a F1 car over the finish line....Mansell? Or I could just have imagined it..not sure

Oh yeah, in his Lotus in Dallas. Then I think he passed out before he got it to the finish line Not to win though... to come 6th... which I think he was given anyway

Yep another procession for Hamilton, a 7th world title seems a forgone conclusion. But the spectacle isn't great for the sport as a whole.

It's up to the others to beat Mercedes. Shouldn't have to come down to stupid sanctions like removing party mode.

Reality is no one looks close, if it wasn't for Verstappen it would be so boring. Put that guy in a Mercedes and it would be a different story.

Yep, bore fest yesterday. The predicted rain in lap 50 would’ve livened things up but sadly didn’t arrive. Like all sports, can be exciting at times and ordinary at others.

Agree Mercedes dominance is getting a bit boring. Not sure how you tackle that buyout I’d favour making the engines/power units a bit simpler. I’d also bring back refuelling so that teams had more strategic options at their disposal.

Suspect he will be when Hamilton retires. Closest thing to him in terms of driving talent.

Hamilton is only a few victories short of matching Schumacher and if he wins the championship again he'll match that too.

Years ago if someone told me a British driver would equal his records I wouldn't have believed them. Records are there to be broken but I always viewed his as unbeatable.

At least it's a Brit dominating the sport. Not many Brits doing the same nowadays.
