Gutted for Russell. He's thrashed Kubica all season, and then in the one race when everyone jumps off the track, and a late safety car to compress the field, Kubica is just ahead of him.

I'm just back from Silverstone having been at the Silverstone Classic Weekend. Great racing from all eras of the sport and access all areas including pits!!!

Fantastic final qualifying lap from Verstappen to get his first ever pole position.
Will be fun tomorrow going into Turn 1 should anyone get alongside and try to pass him...

Not a great track for overtaking opportunities... So, hoping for a bit of rain... For me, best performance of the day was from George Russell...

Russell was very unlucky not to make it into Q2, brilliant lap.
Rain would make it very interesting. I wonder if that's going to be Hamilton's best chance via a great pit stop to get the lead.

Excellent call from Mercedes re. Hamilton's extra pit stop to pinch the win from Verstappen.
Hamilton's 7th win in Hungary.

Great watching Hamilton hunt down Verstappen over the last 20 laps, but the two of them were over a minute clear of the rest of the field.

And, all without the need of any 'wet stuff'...
Although I was never a Schumi fan... Best result, of the day, was son Mick winning the F2 race... Making for a very proud looking Mum...

So back after the break, and a strong Belgian GP to get us going again. Ferrari looked strong and Leclerc deserved to win, although they should have pitted vettel sooner.
Lewis just nicely ticking down the races to collect the 6th title. Gutted for Norris but i think he’s got many years in the sport and a potential race winner.
Tragic news on the Saturday, and puts into perspective how dangerous it is. I haven’t seen the incident and will try to avoid it. But by reading all accounts it was obvious from the outset it was bad. Hope the other racer involved makes a full and speedy recovery.

The crash was horrific. F2 cars are flat out thru there at 170mph, he had very little chance of survival being hit like he was at that speed. Small crumb of comfort is the 2nd driver survived and is likely to recover.

What do we think of Q3 yesterday?
Is it something the FIA should sort out so it doesn't happen again or should they leave it alone?

Having just checked a stewards decision.
How come Vettel did not have his time deleted for exceeding track limits in Q3 when Albon had his deleted in Q2 on exactly the same part of the track?

Because he's driving a Ferrari in Italy?

Top drive from Charles ðŸ‘... Mercedes threw everything they had at him, short of the kitchen sink, and he resisted all challenges... The finger is a busted flush and any hopes Max had for future world domination have evaporated...
I truly believe Lewis is relishing the challenge next year could potentially become...

I agree, but he was fortunate the stewards were in a good mood.

Not so much the stewards being in a good mood, more a case of driving a Ferrari at the Italian GP. Any driver at any other race would have incurred some sort of penalty from the stewards for 1 of the 2 questionable manoeuvres he pulled. Still a great drive but just a bit over the line on a few occasions for me.

To be fair to the stewards the drivers have previously requested to be allowed to get on with racing with minimal interference... The 'errors' of Vettel and Stroll were correctly punished and Lewis wasn't overly upset (in the post race interview) with Charles tactics...
