Lewis Hamilton won the British Grand Prix at Silverstone from pole position, mastering difficult weather conditions and fighting back after a difficult start. Rosberg similarly fought back to second with Vettel completing the podium thanks to a perfectly timed switch to intermediate tyres.

Hold on wait a minute!, Hamilton was faster in the race, he was closing in on Rosberg when he got his gear box problem. We wont know who wins till they win it.ChrisF1 wrote:Rosberg was faster here last year and retired from the lead, he's looked strong in the last few GP's - just have that feeling.Vasconia wrote:Based on what?ChrisF1 wrote:Rosberg has this in the bag.
Other drivers also not driving at the test;Phil wrote:
Also, I'm a bit baffled by Hamilton not going testing. I know one can argue about how important it is, but Rosberg is showing all the right signs (a bit like Vettel): determined, focused and hard-working. True, that's just who he is and how he races vs. Hamilton who is probably the more naturally gifted talent with a less analytical approach, but still... And going testing, being with your team ought to strengthen the bond between you and your team and engineers. Or at least, that's just my humble observation as a F1 outsider and spectator.
I also seem to remember that Hamilton aborted his last lap because he felt the conditions weren't good enough for an improvement and then got smacked for it...SilverArrow10 wrote:Hold on wait a minute!, Hamilton was faster in the race, he was closing in on Rosberg when he got his gear box problem.

So no, Hamilton had provisional pole on their first run by two tenths and stupiditly (who would have thought!) aborted the lap... Not to say Rosberg wouldn't have pulled it off anyway had Hamilton kept going, but i wouldn't call it an adequate comparison. Hamilton is quick around Silverstone.Wikipedia wrote: Hamilton was over a second down on his best time through the first two sectors, and so he decided that the track was too wet to improve, and pulled into the pits. However, the final sector had dried considerably, and the cars who completed their final laps managed to improve by several seconds in the final sector alone. The final sector had dried to such an extent that Hamilton's provisional pole time was beaten by every car that completed a lap in the dying moments of Q3, pushing him down to sixth. In his final flying lap in Q3, Nico Rosberg took the pole from Sebastian Vettel with a time of 1:35.766.

As I heard on local stream, pit guys covered diffuser and violated rule which say that you can cover car only in case of fire of stuff like thatgray41 wrote:Does anyone know the penalty Rosberg could be due for?
Based on what exactly? Hamilton looked far quicker in qualifying up to his little moment, and was quicker almost every lap of the race.ChrisF1 wrote:Rosberg was faster here last year and retired from the lead, he's looked strong in the last few GP's - just have that feeling.Vasconia wrote:Based on what?ChrisF1 wrote:Rosberg has this in the bag.
