2023 British Grand Prix Post Race Discussion
Decent race that for the most part, plenty of action, some really poor decisions costing Ferrari and McLaren during the safety car.
11 wins in a row for RBR. Max is always ruining things for everyone haha!

I don't care for McLaren but I'm very happy for Norris and Piastri.
Just so sad that the safety car costed Piastri the podium.
I'm curious if Piastri would've been able to hold off Hamilton with the hards. Assuming they delayed the pit stop until the VSC.
Like. It's weird. I like Zak. I like Lando. But something about McLaren gruffs me. Bearing in mind I joined the sport in 2010 and was a BUT fan during their Vodafone livery days and started watching with ALO at Ferrari ... They've just been shit to their drivers from the HAM/BUT days onwards. Bad choices in partnerships. Yadda yadda.
At least they got more sponsors on the car since 2016.
They just make me shrug.
They're fine, but they're kinda fuckups.
I want to see more privateer teams like them and Williams do well. But I also want 12 teams on the grid and I don't want to see teams disappear.
Somehow the formula needs to have more chance for competition?
Shrug.
I feel like the Lando/Carlos years was a happy time for them. Ricciardo turning up and getting hammered by Lando has dented them to the point that they took the hit to get rid of him, they are now back on track.
Basically I think from the end of the Ron Dennis era (2017 / Norris) it's been a different vibe completely
