yea def. got this good now. This race should be very interesting w/ Heikki, Kimi, and Hamilton starting up front. Kubica better keep up the run he's had in the past few races.

I know it happend already but im just now gonna watch it

without traction control the races sure get interesting on a wet track.

that was NUTS!! loved the race. Dont feel bad for Massa at all,helost it 6-8 times haha.

I do feel bad for Kubica not being able to finish in which case i think it would of been a 4 way tie?

Good stuff, cant wait for Germany!!

Great race. I was hoping it would rain because Silverstone can be a boring track to watch. Good to see Lewis back on top. I am happiest for Rubens, though. It's almost like there were two winners today. Looks like this season may end up being as exciting as last year.

Maybe even more this year...
At the half & it's a virtual 4 way tie.
I do think BMW has peaked though for this year & will start to loose ground in the 2nd half.

missed this one too as I was out of town. Sounds like a good race and glad it tightened up the standings.

And that was the most balls-to-the-wall start I've ever seen by Lewis Hamilton. To try that in the rain?!?!?

and no one has anything to say about barrichello?

This was a great race. its been a long time since the grid have been so evenly filled with such interesting and talented drivers.

hamilton sure did a fantastic job for his home crowd. what did he finish like 50 seconds in front of P2 or something like that?

still annoyed at webber for that first lap...he moved over and let hamilton through while blocking kimi at the same time. oh well, truly a great race.

I guess you missed my post. I mentioned my excitement over Rubens' podium before you. I said it was like there were two winners in this race.

I don't think he knew Hamilton was coming.....
He was totally focused on defending against Kimi gaining a position on him.

ferrari's pit strategy is awful. if they were going to gamble on no rain and keep the inter tires, then they should have continued to gamble and switch to full wets later, since they were gambling for a win.

how can raikkonen say he lost the race b/c of the tire choice? later in the race he was not running that much faster, altho he did come back from last place.

it is a shame barrichello didnt get 2nd, he was storming through the field.

changing weather is so much fun to watch.

Yes it was!!!!! It was horrible!
& did anyone hear anything about Massa?
WTF was going on there.... It seemed far more than just a driver that couldn't handle the rain.

Yea Ferrari screwed up big time. I thought the whole field was going to change to full wets after seeing Rubens time in them, he was smoking the whole field while it was pouring. Ferrari should have put Massa to test the full wets, since he sucks at driving in wet weather, that way Raikkonen could know for sure what to change to (if Barrichello's time wasnt an obvious change )

Hamilton was the first to go w/ intermediates again which was risky but he was able to hold the 1P

Webber screwed up the great qualifying position he had pretty bad, feel bad for him :/
