British GP: Watching from the stands
Interesting to watch the race from a grandstand with a distant screen and no radio.
No radio was a crucial error in my race strategy - I missed the fact that Kimi had taken on so much fuel at his second stop, which was the most critical part of the race, and it took a text from someone in front of a telly to tell me what was going on.
I thought Alonso had it in the bag. Not so.
Seeing Kimi, my favourite driver in F1 by a mile, doing lap after lap extra over Alonso was a great pleasure.
That second stint from Kimi showed his true class - for me, despite Hamilton's undoubted brilliance and Massa's raw energy, Kimi and Fernando are the best drivers out there right now. They showed it today - Alonso in the first stint, Kimi in the second.
I don't think we've ever seen such determination from the Finn, and it looks like Ferrari has found some extra pace. What a great season it's turning out to be.
How will Hamilton's first proper rookie's error affect the rest of his season? Probably not much - he'll be back at full strength next weekend, just wait and see.
But ultimately, it'll take him a year or two to get up to Kimi and Fernando's level. I hope he doesn't bust himself up too much over this single mistake.
