    British GP 2017 race thread

    Bit early....but weather looking good just now but you never know if some rain will blow in

    Hopefully we can send the Lewis fans home unhappy...we have a bottle of champagne to open if we win...we have been bringing it every year since 2011 win so hopefully it can get popped today.!!!

    Forza Ferrari

    I'm hoping the Ferraris have a good start and mug Hamilton at the start.

    I swear to god that I had a weird dream today, we were leading a 1-2 with Vettel from Kimi. Before I wake up the chequered flag came out, and it ended like this. Vettel p1, Ham p2, Kimi p3. Hope my dream will come true. :)
    Forza.

    New MGU-H for Ricciardo after his failure in qualifying - 10-place grid penalty. Doesn't affect his 19th position on the grid.

    Yeah, it doesn't affect his position because Fernando has a 30 place grid penalty

    At one time it was said that if you cant serve all those 10 position grid penalty, Then the remainder will be saved for next race, that isnt on anymore right?

    correct...it does not carry over. Some of these grid penalties - 45 grid penalty pts or 70 grid penalty pts. needs to be revamped.

    Which means? They will lose pace performance in order to preserve endurance?

    It think it should affect race pace. Otherwise, no reason why not to use safe gearbox spec all the time

    It means they can't run much longer in a particular gear.

    Liberty Media made quite a show out of F1. So many new elements and events surrounding F1. Classic American approach in marketing.

    Despite Autosport writing about Mercedes' big advantage in race pace after every grand prix, Ferrari is on par in the races and I don't expect Hamilton to dominate even if he stays in front at the start.

    Would love Kimi win, but all depends at the start, if he gets ahead off the line, he has a good shot.

    Sooooo, if Lewis gets behind GRO at anytime during the race.....Lewis radio : " Blue Flags...........blue flags......he is not respecting the blue flags!"

    Grosjeans facial expression.....one big smile, priceless........Grosjeans mind set: "What goes around comes around!"

    Cold temperatures out there, which would give hard time for drivers to warm up

    Race will be interesting but I expect that we will have no answer to Lewis, it will be an easy win for him. We can only hope we can get a solid P2-P3
