British GP Hero's & Zero's

Excellent! It is a fantastic race weekend. Don't miss the waffle stand at the back of the circuit (or the banter between its three chefs, two of whom speak good English).

But please, please promise me one thing... ...that you will drink lots and lots of water. (Ask me how I know. The book is pending).

Edit: I should probably do the whole "Heroes and Zeroes" thing...

Heroes:

Leclerc: He wasn't kidding when he said last race was an eye-opener. I thought he and Verstappen were going to crash about four times during their battle, and seeing him teach Max how to do his own signature moves properly was fun. Ferrari were not exactly covering themselves in glory but thanks to Charles, they got away with it.

Hamilton: Excellent domination all race despite starting from 2nd.

Gasly: Say it quietly, but I think he might have turned the corner.

Honourable mentions:

Verstappen for his role in the fight that is likely to be one of the things 2019 is most remembered for. Misses the "heroes" list for two reasons: his Red Bull was faster than he made it look at most points during the race, and he apparently still has no control over what comes out of his mouth after races.

The stewards for being careful not to confuse things even further.
Sainz for his overtaking antics.
Albon for making that long tyre stint work.
BWT (a Racing Point sponsor) for donating £1,000 to Breast Cancer Care for every position a Racing Point driver improves. Maybe this race wasn't the biggest amount ever added but it's a start.
Everyone involved in getting the race on the calendar for the next 5 years.

Zeroes

Lightning Volt: The company messed up its reputation with Haas as Rich Energy so badly that it was forced to change its name and toss out its CEO to stay afloat (for how long?) Not that Mr Storey brought much to the table other than a big mouth and bad manners, it seems. Haas handled the matter with grace.

Grosjean: Less graceful was the collision the Haases had with each other at the start of the race. Romain is looking increasingly like a man headed for the exit door.

Vettel: When he asked "What did Verstappen think he was doing?"... ...the question would have been better directed at himself. Sebastian was, after all, the man who'd apparently forgotten his braking point at the most embarrassing moment possible. He got a penalty, but I'm not sure it's going to help.

Dishonourable mentions:

Jean Todt for trying to make himself "relevant" by proposing things nobody appears to want.

You may get the idea I enjoyed this one, with good reason

Alia, did you see, Albon could not stop because something went wrong with his electrics giving his car "High Voltage" The mechanics collected his car with rubber gloves. He couldn't stop for tires because he wasn't allowed in the pits.

I managed to see the race on Sky just before rushing to the airport for a flight to China. I have to say I really enjoyed the race and it improved my mood which was not great due to the imminent loss of 3weeks of my life in the Chinese outback!
I think I agree with most comments already made. Hamilton was exceptional! He really does seem to get additional speed from the crowd - that fastest lap was amazing!
I can’t believe I am saying this but I feel a little sorry for Seb! He decided to ‘race’ and if he had pulled off an overtake we would have applauded him. Max did look like he was going to leave a gap but then closed it (not unreasonably) and Seb lost downforce- it really was just a racing incident.

[Scott]

Not to support Vettel - he should have clearly made sure he had enough room to brake regardless of where Max was, but the incident was very similar to when Ricciardo rear ended Max last year.  Max chopped the attempt and took the downforce away meaning DR  had no chance to brake, just like Seb, and a similar result, although Max didn’t take as much damage as the last time.

I did see. A lot of drivers would have faded spectacularly after being put in that position. Albon managed his stint really well, despite having presumably treated the first few laps of the stint as if it was going to be much shorter. This is very skilful driving, hence I'm putting him in the "heroes" category accordingly.

I don't want to tell Honda or Toro Rosso off for it because relatively minor unreliability can happen to anyone (even if this one had scary potential consequences).

I live in New Zealand, that place where ozone is thin and you get burnt in 10 minutes, so Kiwi's always drink lots of water.

Good to hear it. You'll have a great time, then
