#F1 #BritishGP Some great battles between Hamilton and Russell but that was about it..... until the VSC came out for Hulkenberg and then it got interesting and a safetycar for Verstappen (P3) at the end made it all go crazy, as the SC stayed out till the finish. #MsportXtra

#F1 #BritishGP Damned if you do, damned if you don't. In 2021, they did everything to get a final lap of racing and many people got angry. Now they could've done that but chose to finish behind the SC and many people are angry. It is what it is. #MsportXtra
