My prediction for Hamilton to win may have been a tad optimistic

Join the club, but I did have him down for fastest lap and he got that (I think)

Fastest Lap
Lewis Hamilton bagged the Fastest Lap of the race so if you had him down for that then that’s an easy 10 further points. The DHL Fastest Lap award is the only thing Lewis had to smile about all weekend.

Race Bonus Points
And now, this is the big one – you have 3 drivers in your Fantasy GP team and if any of them finish race better than they started they are awarded 3 points for each position they improve.

For the Austiran GP we had some HUGE bonus points for the Williams duo and a few others too: MAS, STR +24, WEH +18, PAL +15, HAM and ERI +12, VAN, OCO and RIC +3

First to Retire
Max Verstappen was the first to retire after his bad weekend got even worse after a poor getaway and then being collected by Kvyat’s Toro Rosso as the Russian pretty much filed his notice with the team and 2017 season (not confirmed!)

Safety Cars
We didn’t have any Safety Car periods for Austria.

Valtteri Bottas led Lewis Hamilton to a Mercedes one-two in second practice at the British Grand Prix.

Bottas headed Hamilton by just 0.047 seconds despite the Briton setting his best time on the slower soft tyre.

Is this (almost) the end?
The future of the British Grand Prix has been left uncertain after Silverstone's owner confirmed it has activated a break clause to cease hosting the race after 2019.

Silverstone first held a Formula 1 race in 1950 and after spells alternating with Aintree and Brands Hatch, it has been the British Grand Prix's permanent home home since 1987.

However, the British Racing Drivers' Club (BRDC), which owns the circuit, is struggling with the financial cost of hosting it.

"We have reached the tipping point where we can no longer let our passion for the sport rule our heads," said BRDC chairman John Grant.
