Very enjoyable race, some excellent wheel to wheel battles plus a strategic battle, very good fun.

Roll on Silverstone.

Looking at the weather forecast, should be another tyre melter. No win for Lewis then.

Redbull ring sits at 660m above see level Silverstone is only about 140m so maybe it was an air density cooling issue on top of extreme weather conditions I couldn't say + wasn't the tyres the softest selection? I'm sure I heard someone say the hard was the C3 or something which is normally a Medium so maybe they'll use the harder selection for Silverstone due to the speed of the track.

Again just speculation.

You are correct. I was looking at the wrong list.

Got to witness a Ferrari disaster class firsthand 🔥🔥 plus see my pilot overtake both of em. Really great experience despite all the heat and walking and traffic etc. Highly recommend. Definitely going to a track with more shade next time 😂

It sure was hot! Again - I thought last year was bad - at least I was more prepared on this occasion.

Did you catch the Legends Parade? Oooooh the noise!

Amazing shots! I took some pics on my old 35mm Canon, hopefully they come out ok and I can share, haven't shot film in several years so fingers crossed 😅
But sadly not, I did tour them in the fanzone and planned to make it for track parade, but we'd just had enough of the heat by Sunday (been in Europe the entire week prior, lots of sightseeing - quite tired lol) and only showed up about an hour before the race. Sure would've been nice to hear that F2002 tho!

We stayed back after qualifying to watch the Legends Parade warmup - we had a covered stand so it was a bit more bearable. We were in the open on Sunday and just came in time for the air show and race.

We went last year too, and had another heatwave 😭 but were unprepared and actually started feeling quite unwell. Took more precautions this year.

I enjoyed the race but had hoped Verstappen would have grabbed a last lap win. Back home in glorious 15c now 🤣
