Pick the Podium: F-1- Silverstone, England

[Retroram52]

Hamilton is the fastest in two practices but has an electrical problem that shows his engine has no oil pressure. Engineers are stating that it is an electrical glitch. Rosberg and Alonso round out the top three. I'll pick tomorrow.

I'll take Rosberg, Vettel, and Hamilton.

Lewis posted this on Facebook a while ago.

I made a mistake today and pulled out of the lap when I should have kept going. It was a tough qualifying with the changing conditions and we got through most of it really well, until the most important part. It was my decision, a bad call, and that decided my qualifying. I'm so sorry to have disappointed the fans here today as their support has been fantastic and I'll do what I can to have a great race for them tomorrow. I need to have a start like I had in Austria two weeks ago and then do my best to get back to the front; you never know what might happen. It's difficult when you're just out of the car to express your emotions and see the positive but I'll go back to the team and my family now and we'll build up for tomorrow from there.

His maturity level is improving, but what in the hell was he thinking pulling out of the lap? Nico was behind him at the start of it, he had to know how fast at least Nico was going, to say nothing of Hulk and Seb.

And is it just me, or would anyone else have really liked seeing Bianchi with a top ten starting position? Just to see turn one. He's usually half a football field behind by that point...

The battle between Alonso and Vettel was hilarious.

"He is doing bad things!"
"No HE is doing bad things!"

Was hoping Jenson would pull that one out. 2 more laps and he would have. Great race.

Hamilton hoodwinked everybody and when Rosberg retired, the race was for the taking.
