    Manor now in 12th, and with a bit of rain there's a possibility of points. McLaren might be getting some today!

    Probably, he wasn't the driver I expected to be one of the best at lifting and coasting though.

    That was an exciting race had it all good racing, lots of action rain, and for once both Mercedes cars actually had to work hard to finish 1st and 2nd. Hard look to Williams do has they started brilliant and it would have been great to see them get 1 and 2 but they were unlucky that it rained a bit. Maybe if it had not of rained it could have been a very different race and result for them. Well done to Vettel for getting 3rd. Kimi was unlucky they just put the inters on his car too soon.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    I think that Kimi might jump a place or two at the start. I can't see the order at the front 2 changing too much though. Its got to be Lewis's race to lose. I've a feeling a Ferrari might take third place on the podium.

    I was trying not to go back and quote myself cause I thought someone might do it for me...but they didn't:(. While my prediction wasn't perfect I think I deserve to give myself a small clap on the back.

    Yea I know self praise is no praise at all but I'm very needy.

    I only just watched the highlights, but good job by Hamilton to take inters when he did. And Williams really lost it.

    I think there was some luck involved in that Hamilton inter call, more than anyone involved is saying.

    It was great to see Williams performing well again, I was getting a bit worried that they were slipping back to obscurity this season. It's a shame to see them losing out on bad tactical calls, again.

    On a race like today its always going to be luck especially in UK with changeable weather.

    How come in Monaco Hamilton blamed the team for the messed up pitstop call, but when the call was right like today Hamilton takes credit? Ultimately its the drivers call. Hamilton got it right today but it was his fault for losing Monaco.

    I thought it was a great race, rain made it more exciting towards the end. I felt Rosberg could win but again couldn't really pass a car being stuck behind the Williams for so many laps.

    Williams messed up in my mind and should have let Bottas go past Massa you could clearly see he was faster then Massa.

    Ferrari were very lucky to get third.
