British Grand Prix Cancelled

but seriously, Hamilton & Massa have both lost their outside rear tires after 10 laps. I suspect we're going to see a few more. Unless by some miracle it happens to everyone it's kind of spoiling the fun.

And Vergne has just had a blowout at 190mph right in front of Raikkonen.

Someone is going to get hurt.

Safety car is out.

I think there may be some questions asked of Pirelli.

Though great comeback from Webber and Hamilton, Alonso did well too.

Yeah, it was a very entertaining race in the end, some great high speed overtaking.

Gary seemed to reckon it was caused by drivers going over the inside of the kerbs, those edges did look very sharp. Granted, it's not something we've had before but on the other hand perhaps drivers should drive on the kerb rather than cutting (!) it?

Entertaining but not a classic - I bet everyone thought "oh here's Vettel again" so I'm glad he didn't profit from it. And as soon as Massa took 3rd with a great chance to get a podium I KNEW he'd stuff it up...

Yes the end was good, but did get a bit boring when it looked like another easy win for Vettel.

To be fair to Massa, it wasn't his fault. And those kerbs aren't exactly new.

The tyres shouldn't disintegrate like that IMO. If it was a one off fair enough, you could perhaps blame it on excessive kerb cutting or a puncture, but 5 times in the same weekend for 4 different teams points to a problem with the way the tyres are made. It's not like they have been reliable up to this point either is it...

Now if they raced Webbers round that would be entertainment, though briquettes on the track could become an occupational hazard
