Good win for Alonso at Silverstone today and another 'incident' with Hamilton and Massa on the last lap means I don't think Lewis will be on Massa's christmas card list :D

Horner squirming over having to reveal that the team is all about Vettel and Webber is not allowed to challenge him - you could see him struggling to make up reasons for why he made the decision to avoid the real one :(

Webber needs to get out of Red Bull this season.

He's been the number 2 driver there for a while.

I can't believe for a second that he was surprised they told him not to pass.

It's Vettel's team that much is clear just as Ferrari was when Schumacher was there.

I'll give Hamilton credit when he deseves it, and today he deserves it all. Cracking drive when constantly under pressure and his ability to retake both Webber and Alonso at critical stages of the race were top drawer.

Great race too. With Vettel struggling in 4th, I know its a bit of a long shot but maybe the title race isnt all but going in the Germans favour.

Excellent drive from Hamilton today. Did everything perfectly.

I think Vettels lead is too great to peg back but it is interesting to see him under pressure.

Sky have bought the rights to F1 from next season. They will now show practice, qualifying and the race itself.

BBC will show half the races including Monaco, Silverstone and the final race of the season.

Little bit gutted as I think the BBC coverage is excellent with a great announce team. Martin Brundle pushing infront of French film crews can be tv gold at times.

Thats very disappointing news as the BBC's coverage has been great and with no ad breaks and more sport lost from terrestrial television.
