Switched off to watch the Historic F1 race from Silverstone Fesival. All DFV engines Makes these cars sound mundane.

Hoping for a late Piastri run at Max if he can get by Leclerc

Boring race but true dominance from Norris. Next year he can hopefully have a proper run at the WDC.

Hamilton finishing 1-2 seconds behind Russell despite starting 11 places behind him is a decent effort as well.

Verstappen like performance in the end. Aside from the poor start, took the lead first real opportunity, then once he shook Max drove off into the distance. Love it. Good points for the WCC too.

Turned out exactly how I thought it would. Bit of a boring race in all honesty but the track doesn’t make for much overtaking

There was more than I was expecting tbh. Few good battles in T1, T2.

Piastri is utterly brilliant. What an incredible overtake at the chicane.

It wasn’t a terrible start, but I do not think he believed that Piastri would go at him so hard - huge cojones.

Being the best driver at McLaren.

Landos start was good, better than Piastris... but its monza, it doesn't;t really matter when there are two huge straights where there is a good chance you'll be challenged into both corners
