| Quote: ST_CONROY "Great win by JB. His pace at the end was literally unbelievable.
Vettel is a great driver but whenever another driver gets near him he seems to make mistakes or at least look like he'll make a mistake. When he's out front on his own then he is excellent.
Lewis needs to reign it in and just drive normally. He is a great driver but he seems like he just doesn't really care about preserving the car this year and is trying ridiculous moves all the time.'"
Agreed, think Lweis just need to be whispered in his ear just to be a little more patient. It seems he is frustrated the car is still a work in progress but during races its race pace is good the only problem is he's trying a little too hard and costing himself time. Jenson showed yesterday how to be patient all those pit stops, a drive through, two incidents and 21st to 1st, a very well deserved win.

| Good win for Alonso at Silverstone today and another 'incident' with Hamilton and Massa on the last lap means I don't think Lewis will be on Massa's christmas card list

| Horner squirming over having to reveal that the team is all about Vettel and Webber is not allowed to challenge him - you could see him struggling to make up reasons for why he made the decision to avoid the real one

Webber needs to get out of Red Bull this season.

He's been the number 2 driver there for a while.
I can't believe for a second that he was surprised they told him not to pass.

It's Vettel's team that much is clear just as Ferrari was when Schumacher was there.

| I'll give Hamilton credit when he deseves it, and today he deserves it all. Cracking drive when constantly under pressure and his ability to retake both Webber and Alonso at critical stages of the race were top drawer.
Great race too. With Vettel struggling in 4th, I know its a bit of a long shot but maybe the title race isnt all but going in the Germans favour.

Excellent drive from Hamilton today. Did everything perfectly.
I think Vettels lead is too great to peg back but it is interesting to see him under pressure.

| Sky have bought the rights to F1 from next season. They will now show practice, qualifying and the race itself.
BBC will show half the races including Monaco, Silverstone and the final race of the season.
Little bit gutted as I think the BBC coverage is excellent with a great announce team. Martin Brundle pushing infront of French film crews can be tv gold at times.

Thats very disappointing news as the BBC's coverage has been great and with no ad breaks and more sport lost from terrestrial television.

Maybe now the BBC will revert to how much coverage they gave F1 before they re-bought the rights, ie very little. Their website used to have a small amount of F1, since they re-bought the rights they had 'Vettel column', 'Button column', 'Hamilton column, F1 gossip column, F1 videos, they even moved F1 to second on the list of sports down the left hand side of the page. Knew this would happen eventually though, was pished off when they nabbed the cricket, not so bothered about this but feel for the people who are. Just another victim of greed corp.
On a plus side, less Jake Humphrey

| The money the sport demands for coverage though means that the bbc were never gonna be serious competitors when it came to bidding for the next round of viewing rights. At least half the races will still be shown and have highlights of every race thru the season too - so it's better than nothing, as they could have easily not bid anything and used the money elsewhere.
