McLaren spent 15 minutes saying they should go on the new mediums and then just didn’t and lost the race

Yes Lewis get in!! Great drive

 

[Mozza1987]

Get in. Fantastic race

Happy for Lewis. Would have preferred George or Lando. How was he sooo slow on the softs? MCl/Lando threw that one away it looks like.

Hamilton sounds like he's in tears in the car.

 

[Kurt.]

Made up for Lewis

 

[Wizard]

Yes Lewis!! So so happy for him. Great drive

What a great race. Drama all the way through.

The sport is so lucky to have Hamilton still part of the field. Wouldn't have blamed him if he'd have walked away after the fiasco of Abu Dhabi a few years back.

Great result, hopefully the start of a Lewis renaissance

Just can't for the life of me understand why McLaren didn't double stack - madness. Piastri will be fuming.

So happy for Lewis there, Silverstone royalty and never looked in doubt.

Yeah they made a mess of it. A couple different choices and it might have been a 1-2.

McLaren have the car now, just have to work on strategy, they will get there, the more experience of squeeky bum time the better.

Also both McLarens were setup for the wet and were running higher downforce hence why Norris could outbrake Hamilton so easy earlier in the race. Once it dried up they lost that advantage.

Yeah, it was Ferrari levels of bungling.

And then asking Norris what tyres he wants as he's entered the pit? Amateur hour.

Great race but a real shame for Russell and Piastri. The mediums and Hards where the better tyres so surprised Norris went with softs, especially with Piastri lapping fast on them.

No, Ferrari are next level. Look at Leclerc

Wasn’t a great call at all but they probably asked him earlier on the lap as the radio messages aren’t usually broadcasted straight away.
