There will be live telecast, Channel 89 but check your local listings.

We might have to switch channels  often between World Cup and F-1!

It was a disasterous day for MB Team.

Bottas, the pole sitter, who lost his pole position before even reaching the first corner.  Then, he pulled out of the race due to mechanical reason.

Hamilton led for 1/3 of the race, then had to pull out for the same reason.

Max drove well and was rewarded with a win.

2nd place went to Raikkenon who drove the race of his life, setting fastest lap after fastest lap, just to prove to Ferrari that the Team should sign him for another year instead of giving up on him.

3rd place went to Vettel, who lost his 3rd Grid position before the start for impeding another driver during the qualifying session.  Finally, the Stewards had enough of Vettel's tricks.

Anyway, I think Ferrari overtook MB in both Driver and Constructors Championship in  mid season!

The British F-1 GP will be tomorrow.

Lewis Hamilton secured the pole with medium tire, while Vettel and Kimi both used super soft.  So, the time difference should be more if all tires are equal.

Hamilton might lose his lead at the first corner because drivers MUST use the same set of tires which they qualified on.

Hamilton used medium soft, while Vettel and Kimi used super soft, which means the SSs will have better grip at the start.

The advantage of the medium is that they can cover longer distance without tire change, which means one less pit stop or no pit stop at all for a short race.

Hamilton spinned out getting out the first lap.
Trying keep the medium tires as long as possible.
Maybe change it to soft in the last 25 laps?

Hamilton just pitted. Staying with the medium soft.
Probably won't pit anymore. 25 laps to go.

Bottas in 2nd. Trying to close the gap.
Vettel will try to keep his tires till the end when pitted at lap 21 / 22.
I think they used the same strategy in Montreal.

Safety car is out.
Ferrari pitted and change back to the old soft tires.
Mercedes stayed out for positioning.
Lining up with Bottas, Vettel and Hamilton.
We'll see what happen.

I was right on with my "forecast".  Hamilton lost his lead to Vettel before the first corner due to tire grip, he was further pushed around by Kimi and went to the back of the pack.

And as expected, Hamilton used one less pit stop and eventually finished 2nd, while Vettel came in first.

I will pat myself on the back for the knowledge and "foresight"!
