The rumour mill has churned out a story suggesting a rival team boss has said Red Bull will sack Christian Horner. It goes on to say that Gerhard Berger will replace him.

It won't make a scrap of difference, other than it may make me like Red Bull just a little more than I do now (i.e. not at all)

Like that will make a jot of difference. Its the renault engine and or hybrid system that is the problem ... and not having Adrian Newey any longer to design the car.

I was at the Grand Prix this weekend, or on Saturday at least. The atmosphere was really buzzing, particularly after Hamilton claimed pole position. Silverstone is looking magnificent these days. Saw FP3 and the whole qualifying session, plus the GP2 and GP3 races, all from different parts of the circuit. Woodcote is the best overall viewing spot, but Luffield is the best for noise as the cars accelerate onto Woodcote and the old pit straight. Becketts is a real petrolhead viewing spot, and watching the cars under braking oing into Club was phenomenal The Red Arrows provided support to the on track action. Sunday's race was brilliant. Not a dull moment to be had. There was a Safety Car, A Virtual Safety Car, sunshine and rain. I had hoped the Williams cars would have been able to make more of their astounding off the line start, but it was not to be. Hamilton drove a superb race, coming in for intermediate tyres just at the right time. Bad luck for Button to go out before completing a third of the first lap, but Alonso managed to scrape a point due to the high level of attrition. Well done to Hamilton on taking the chequered flag and extending the championship lead

Excellent race Windy, and Hamilton thoroughly deserved the win. A shame that the Williams duo couldn't have held off Rosberg but I think their strategy let them down (not letting Bottas pass the slower Massa) Yesterdays race had it all as you say and was a much needed boost for F1 as things are at the moment. I've been to the British GP at Silverstone many many times, but it was before they changed the track layout. Always a fantastic atmosphere. Glad you enjoyed the weekend.

The only criticism I had of the race (I watched it on TV) was the fact that the producers stayed mainly with the top 4, not enough was shown of the rest of the field. If I was a Ferrari or Red Bull fan I would have been pretty p***ed off.

Windy you certainly picked the best race to go. The fantastic atmosphere radiated through to the watching public around the globe. The British Grand Prix delivered and that's great overall for F1 and exactly what we hoped for in the discussions we had after the Austrian Grand Prix.
Hamilton deserved his win, both he and his team were on top form but for me Williams were the entertainment factor in this race. How cruel that the weather dealt them a poor hand and aided Vettel in his quest to steal a podium towards the end.
Steve you're right. The directors around all the races tend to show too much front running at times. I think it's probably to do with the F1 management though, F1 is tightly controlled. I'd be surprised if the tv companies have free reign to present the race how they like .
