To avoid the off-topic thread becoming a sea of F1 banter, I thought it worthwhile starting a new thread.
The British GP has just produced an interesting result, not least of all because of the five tyre blowouts:
Thankfully, noone was hurt, but it does ask the question "what was Pirelli thinking". Sure, they blame the limits on off-season testing (not for those Mercedes looking cars, with Mercedes looking drivers donning black non-Mercedes helmets). We want excitement, we want drama, but we want it to be because the drivers pass one another, not because they can balance their vehicles on three wheels around a circuit.
And good ole Mark Webber, Mr "Poor start, spectacular Finish", someone ought to remind Mark that other than the opening drag race, F1 is becoming a mobile slot car advertisement set. He ran out of track.
At least noone got their car stuck under the finish banner, onwards to Germany.
