Really wish the Safety Car hadn't been deployed, as the racing was so epic before then. There was still some good racing after, but not as good. As a Verstappen fan I have not experienced such a roller coaster of a drive before. Holy smokes.

Alrighty...F1 is back!! Finally got to watch the race last night and it was fantastic, just like Austria. I like how the drivers are still being aggressive in both passing and defending and the stewards are letting them (within reason). Vettel definitely deserved his 10 sec one for punting Verstappen. And there was some great battles on track.
I still think the safety car was poorly executed. It should've picked up Bottas after pit exit. It's a terrible way to lose a race.
Fuzz tops the weekend with 88 points and 6 correct (which I think is the most correct in a weekend so far). Cecil could've had nearly a perfect weekend if he'd flipped Bottas and Hamilton. 3thirty extends his lead over 2nd and ties Jayswin for the most right overall at 75.
There was only 2 pts separating 2nd from 7th this weekend, super tight!!
Here's the results from the race:

Germany is up this weekend. Hopefully Hockenheim can keep up the drama and excitement of RBR and Silverstone.
Interesting news that I've read over the last bit
New aero design for 2021. Going from 50% loss of downforce to 5-10% would be a major change and certainly improve passing/following: https://www.f1technical.net/news/22109
This is gonna be a tough one...track temps falling by about 15C between today and Sunday, chance of rain, etc. Should make qualifying tomorrow very interesting and hopefully a great race.

This is going to be very tough, so hard to know if Racing Point is improved enough for the race, or if Friday's results are useless. One thing that's true is Mercedes will definitely be better in the cooler temps, so...
