Interesting race.Williams would have been much more competitive if they did their pit stops just a few laps earlier. Nice decision by HAM to change onto inters. One of the better races this season.
Yeah I agree. That start by Massa though! I think he held Bottas up a little bit, thus giving the Mercs a much better chance. Having said that, Hamilton picked the absolute perfect time to switch to inters. I always admire their driving ability when on slicks on a wet track. Annoyed about Ricciardo having to retire, but was glad to see McLaren pick up a point.
It was an amazing start. It's annoying that aero regulations meant that the clearly faster Bottas was simply not able to pass Massa despite being so close at Stowe for about five laps. It did damage William's race. Hamilton's stop was perfect; if he really did make that decision that was some serious skill. Watching the drivers sliding around through Luffield and Copse was great though; Silverstone delivers good races for sure.
