Hat tip to A2 on S2Ki for the content.
 
Hamilton is due. He is the faster driver; his current situation is due to nothing other than a combination of bad luck and a few strategic errors.

Another classic track. I can't wait.

Gofast, once again, thanks for posting this. I would have missed it being on CNBC.
 
In Canada I generally watch the F1 races on TSN (they get the UK ITV feed) but the British GP has been bumped by Wimbledon to TSN2 which I don't get.

Is there a way to see this one race (live feed) on my computer without subscribing to some service?
 
I don't know if TSN has any live feeds available. Perhaps there are some British live feeds. I know the Bernie has everything locked down pretty good, compared to certain other FIA sanctioned sites. There was a thread here where I was complaining about the 24 Hours of Le Mans. If you find that thread, someone provided a useful link for various European feeds.

Run a Google search on ITV streaming. I don't think the ITV site itself will let you watch - they have geoblocking. I did find some other sites like livetvcafe.net and freetvall.com that might work. You, as a Windows user, are on your own if there's malware or a codec issue on these sites.

If I come across anything else in my travels tonight, all let you know.
