HAM44 wins his 5th British GP.

But does crowd surfing out do the shoey?.
With a front to back textbook drive ol' Blingy equalled the great Jim Clark's and Alain Prost's record of five BGP wins. With the streets of London to (possibly) replace the Silverstone circuit in the future a sixth may not be such a dream drive.

Thanks to DRS, F1's answer to push-to-pass, made for a rather exciting race based on the usual F1 standards. There were some great defensive dices throughout the field. Unfortunately tyres were a costly issue for Ferrari with both Kimi and Seb loosing championship points in the final laps.

Another Man-Of-The-Match for Dano.
Hairy Dan picked up man-of-the-match doing remarkably well to finish in fifth from a back row start.

What's with this name change? Will we be going green?
And the big news from the race was our lad Esteban Ocon beating his pink buddy Serg. Esteban now sits eighth in the championship. We just need to see him finish ahead of Perez in a couple more races and he'll pass him in the championship. Points down in the mid pack pay little so it won't be easy.
