Alonso's fault in that one, and Grosjean's fault

Mercedes telling Schumacher that they've lost telemetry.


Probably a chassis electrical issue I would suspect. He should be retiring within 10 minutes or so for like the whatever-750th time this season.

Silverstone last year last time we saw a stop / go? And that was because the pitlane is short. Not seen one where drive through is available for a while.

Not only is Alonso's retirement good for Vettel, but Kimi is in 5th...

Alonso is not happy. He's not going to talk to the press until the end of the race.

That looked a bit like Monaco, with Alonso in the Grosjean role, Raikkonen as Schumacher and Hamilton (ironically) as Alonso.

Not as extreme as Monaco, more of a racing incident. Alonso didn't move across as much as Grosjean.

I feel kind of sorry for him because he's done a good job. I dont't get how he spun like that though. A puncture would have left him going the other way!

I don't know but I think Raikkonen touched the back of his car?
