Formula 1 2026 - British Grand Prix

 Ferrari only win when I can't pay attention. Barcelona - I was being driven back from a fencing competition. Silverstone - being driven back from a fencing competition. Clearly, the solution to get Ferrari winning more is for me to do more competitions. [Editorial note, the joke is L's]


Ferrari mustn't have been expecting Leclerc to start so well given it meant they had to switch to strategy B by lap 8.

It was a race with several "things I hadn't seen before". An umbrella causing a (virtual) safety car and a brake aero duct failure causing a car to stop being able to steer.

(Technical details sort of here - https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/a-car-should-not-break-wolff-laments-antonelli-mechanical-issue-with-italian-denied-epic-battle-for-silverstone-win.5juL2jTds26Hl4foTZIWnk)

That penalty for Antonelli was kicking a man when he was down. This time he wasn't deliberately going beyond track limits.

So happy that Ferrari got a 250th F1 Victory. Harry Benjamin on the BBC commentary was not helping by describing Leclerc as "the man who bleeds scarlet". We Ferrari fans are already unreasonable on the subject of Leclerc.
