Norris on hards defending against Hamilton on softs was some serious driving. Hell of a day for Lando.

Thought for sure McLaren made the wrong call there and Hamilton would fly by. But very impressed by Lando there. He earned that 2nd place. Hopefully they can keep this up.
I still maintain it was the wrong call. It only worked because Lando drove perfectly. If Lando made even the slightest mistake, he would have lost that position.
Expecting your driver to be prefect is not the right call.
Stella said on C4 that they intended to go for the hards because of the vsc, but the full safety changed things, however they didn't have time to then get the soft tyres ready in the pits. Basically there was a higher chance of losing positions by the time lost switching to softs in the pit lane.
Interesting thanks for sharing that.

I agree, he was lights out after the safety car. The McLaren looked quick though.

Great race from McLaren, surprising the pace they suddenly have here!
I feel for Piastri, would have loved for him to get his first podium here.
Not only was he robbed P3 by a Ferrari engine, wtf is this DotD?!
Lando Norris - 45.5% Lewis Hamilton - 12.1% Oscar Piastri - 10.8% Sergio Perez - 8.1% Max Verstappen - 5.1%
10.8%?! That should've been in the 20s at least!

Yeah, a bit of bad luck with the safety car. Great drive to keep Russell behind. He's such a promising young talent.
If you ignore Max this season is actually very competitive.
Merc, Aston, Ferrari and McLaren all fighting over 2 podium spots is cool! Perez is just chilling for a year.

I'm happy for Lando and McLaren, but wtf was that Ferrari strategy? They were even more clownish than usual
What was Plan B, Ricci? I forgot.
He doesn't care anymore
Sainz tunes out at the strategy session because it is all shit anyway.
Bad decisions

Yeah, fuck I got spoiled by lemmy. Thatβs a first.
Ha! I can take that risk as it feels great to see this post have over 250 votes in six hours. Lemmy is getting more traction.
Same. I was being careful to slowly scroll so I could see if a post was from c/formula1 (my app shows the community at the top), but then something loaded and my feed jumped, putting this post right in the center of my screen. Oh well.
I've never understood the value of a thread that spoils the race results. I wish we could just post a race results discussion thread without putting the results in the title or image.
Yeah wish the title would omit the winner.

Great race overall, probably equally as good as the Austria Sprint.
McLaren was the headliner and Norris rightly got all the plaudits for an amazing drive, but it's a shame more fuss hasn't been raised about Piastri. He would most likely have had a podium if not for the unlucky safety car and continues to show that the hype was not unwarranted. It's going to be very interesting to see what he can do in a car that can actually perform.
Aston continues to struggle, though this track was never going to be suited for them, and Stroll delivered a patented yo-yo performance by following up a solid showing in Austria by being very poor today. Alonso did what he could and displayed some great defensive positioning, but 7th was probably the best they could hope for here. Hungary should be a good track for Aston and so that's when we'll get a true measure of how far behind the pack they've fallen.
Shambolic race weekend by Ferrari, though their car seemed just awful here. Wasn't fast enough on the medium and couldn't get temps into the hards.
Not much to say about Red Bull, I feel like we've seen this race multiple times already this season from them. It was nice seeing Max at least briefly involved in battles, but otherwise it was another comfortable victory for him while Perez fucked his quali and executed an unremarkable bare-minimum recovery drive.
Shout-out to two drivers who will be forgotten this race. Gasly was doing really well until his car ~~did an Alpine~~ got Strolled, so it's unfortunate he probably won't get any credit, and finally a solid race by Sargent, but he didn't get any points so I imagine nobody will have noticed.
EDIT: thanks eroc1990 for pointing out the contact with Stroll was harder than I caught live and so Stroll was probably more to blame than Alpine.
Incredible performance from both Norris and Piastri!
What a performance by McLaren! So impressed with Lando's driving in that last stint. Shame for Oscar, but P4 in his first F1 British GP as a rookie is nothing to be ashamed of.
I think if they didn't coward out on the hards than Piastri could have gotten his first podium. I'm honestly kinda angry at the McLaren pitwall.
They 100% should not have been on the hards, but in the end the softs did wind up falling away from those that used them, so it wasn't completely boneheaded.
I think you're right but it just hurt to see Oscar around a second behind Lewis coming around the last corner. The Papayas we're looking so good I cant imagine Oscar couldn't have made that up in the last sprint. So happy for them regardless, however.
The timing of the stop is just as bad as the choice of compound, but you can't really pre-plan for a VSC or an SC. Still, though, Oscar was super, super close in the final sector of the last lap. I'm sure Ham wasn't pushing super hard because he just wanted to bring it home, but one or two more laps and I think Oscar could have sniped that last podium spot.
Albon holding off LeClerc while fighting with Alonso was something else
Max topping the WCC with only his WDC points really sums of 2023 thus farβ¦
Selfless Max keeping Checo in a job.
I really wish spoilers werenβt in the headline
We went through this back in the day on r/Formula1, banning spoilers restricts the conversation.
I get that sometimes you're not able to watch live, restrict the Formula1 content you consume during that time.
You can't have the entire F1 community tiptoe around you because you've not watched the race.
Having said that, other race series should be spoiler-free in this community.
How does making headline being βBritish Grand Prix results discussionβ restrict the conversation?
This stuff is being federated across multiple instances in the βAllβ feed

I agree, or in the thumbnail!! So frustrating when you're waiting for the highlights show on TV and scrolling only to have it spoiled for you!! π
The admin of the sub claimed earlier today a mod team is being put together so I hope we'll have clearer rules and better enforcement soon. This sub is much more lively right now but [email protected] is better moderated. Bit of a shame.

Really enjoyed that one. Great to see McLaren show pace like that again, makes you wonder what might have been possible if they were able to deliver this car at the start of the season. Really happy that Lando has been given a car worthy of his talent, hopefully it works well at other high-speed circuits. Also Max talking about praying Oscar didn't understeer into him as they went side by side through Copse was hilarious.
Is McLaren going to fight at the top now or it's a fluke?
We'll have to see.
Hungary is a totally different track, so if they're also quick there then we may be in for some fun!

The fight with Hamilton showed that their car is doing great on top speed and high speed corners, but not low speed corners. I wonβt be surprised if slower circuits will see them dropping back around front of midfield.
We really gotta slap a nsfw blur to these things
Some great battles in that race. Very enjoyable.
RIP Alpine
I really hope McLaren can keep this up, great performance by Oscar and Lando! Max also looked happy to see a fresh face next to him on the podium.
