It will most likely be a grid penalty or his penalty points will be increased or not wiped off at 12 months but will all remain for another 12 months.

Actually, most likely to be a large fine and to make him do a load of FIA charity work.

Ron Dennis is to sell his stake in McLaren Group for some £275 million pounds today ending his involvement with the team. #F1

End of an era.

I'd have like to have seen how McLaren had faired this year with him at the helm as he seems to have a much better relationship with them than the current management.

No further action against Vettel

1. No more action on VET from the FIA after he apologised...
2. "FIA President Jean Todt decided that on this occasion the matter should be closed"
3. "Sebastian Vettel admitted full responsibility"and "extended his sincere apologies to the FIA and the wider motor sport family"
4. "should there be any repetition of such behaviour the matter would immediately be referred to the FIA International Tribunal"

Shouldn't he apologise to Hamilton not the FIA and wider motor sport family?

Not even a fine then.

My instinct was that Bottas jumped the start there.

Kvyat just doesn't give a gooseberry fool any more.

I knew that was going to piss you off.

Brundle just had to bring up the damn shoey.

[Mini E]

He was probably told he had to to be honest. The media seem more fussed about keeping it going than Ricciardo does.

[Return_of_the_STAR]

God Vettel is becoming such an arrogant prat. He won't accept that bottas didn't jump the start. All the technical evidence shows that he didn't.

[Lotus]

69 laps of boredom and then 2 laps of vague excitment.

Good to see Bottas get another win, and a decent result for Vettel too. Always good to see Ricciardo in the mix and Hamilton finishing outside the podium places.

Silverstone have triggered their break clause in the F1 contract from 2019.

If the BRDC are successful in getting Liberty Media to lower the fee to host a race you'll see the organisers of all the other races trying to get a similar deal.
