Official 2019 British Grand Prix Thread ***SPOILERS***
Discussion
Here it is, Silverstone, a return to the venue of the 1st race of the 1st Formula 1 World Championship. Rather sadly, this could be the last.
It was here that I first saw Senna race in 1988 in the MP4/4. I saw Damon win in 1994, something his dad could never do. And now Liberty are taking all this away for £££.
Even if it’s had a few changes to slow things down, it’s still a proper Grand Prix circuit. Silverstone is what an F1 car is designed for and, whoever wins, enjoy maybe the last opportunity to see an F1 car properly on the edge.

Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel passed the Mercedes of Valtteri Bottas to win a British Grand Prix full of action as Lewis Hamilton fought up from the back of the field to take second.
Hamilton drove superbly to recover from a first-lap collision with Vettel's team-mate Kimi Raikkonen, and the result hinged on two late-race safety cars, when world champion Hamilton's Mercedes team took a strategic gamble.
Unlike rivals Ferrari and Red Bull, Mercedes chose not to pit both their drivers for fresh tyres at the first safety car.
