Watching on "mute" is quite refreshing
Or for something a bit different, tune into the German F1 coverage as I had to last week when my regular er... streaming service stopped working. Had no clue what they were saying, just the visuals, the engine sounds and a general awareness of the excitement in the presenters voices. That said, for the race just gone I had to listen to the end of it on BBC radio - I haven't heard someone sound like they were going to explode like that since the days of Murray Walker.

I listen to the BBC radio coverage as a matter of course.
Yesterday's commentary team was Ben Edwards (who I got to know somewhat during my time involved with ASCAR), Marc Priestley (a former mechanic at Mclaren), Andrew Benson, Jennie Gow and a former F1 strategist whose name currently escapes me.

What's your opinion of Bernie Collins?
I personally find her insight and comments very interesting.

Amusing if you play it back fast and he sounds like a Chipmunk!

Brewer is a bellend. Elvis is quite good, so shoot Brewer and have a full hour of Elvis mending cars and it'd be much better.

Any good insight adds to the commentary. In that sense, the radio wins hands down when compared to the TV.

That was pretty well much expected.
In other news, I just got a text from the publisher to says that the signed Derek Warwick book that I pre-ordered prior to its release earlier this week is winging its way to me!

Ahhh, how sweet. Hamilton just said on the team radio that he loves it here.
Just not enough to actually live here and pay income tax on his salary here.

Sprinkle of rain always livens things up. Still, before the rain it was good to see the Mercs and McLarens bossing Max.

I'm not a Lewis fan but fair play, he drove a tight race and handled the conditions well. He deserved that.
Norris clearly not happy in the post race interview that he's fallen further behind Verstappen. Speaking of which, Max played his cards well and did a tidy job grabbing 2nd.
A good blast all round.

More wheels than sense
I'm not a fan too but Hamilton is awesome at Silverstone in changing conditions and this was well deserved win.
