- Thread starter hard top

Disaster! Looking at the FB fantasy f1 page Palmer is not classified as the first to retire as he didn't actually start. It's a fix 
Well, put it this way my fire fighting friend, you can't really retire if you have not even started can you......
He just did not join in with the other lads......

Grand chelem news
While we are busy lauding Lewis Hamilton for winning the British GP a fifth time, it's also worth a quick mention that he has in doing so scored his fifth grand chelem.
For those that don't know, this obscure (but very worthy) feat is achieved when a driver takes pole position, sets the fastest lap and wins the race from start to finish.
His fifth grand chelem takes him level with Michael Schumacher and Alberto Ascari in joint second place on the all-time list.
Jim Clark is way out front with eight of the blighters.

FP2 top 10
Posted at 15:35
1) Ricciardo 1:18.455
2) Vettel
3) Bottas
4) Raikkonen
5) Hamilton
6) Verstappen
7) Hulkenberg
8) Alonso
9) Sainz
10) Vandoorne
Well, I just wonder how many people predicted this....
Summary
1) Vettel 2) Raikkonen 3) Bottas 4) Hamilton 5) Verstappen 6) Ricciardo 7) Hulkenberg 8) Alonso 9) Vandoorne 10) Sainz
Qualifying - the rest
11) Palmer 12) Ocon 13) Kvyat 14) Perez 15) Grosjean 16) Magnussen 17) Stroll 18) Wehrlein 19) Di Resta 20) Ericsson.
Without his problems, Hamilton may have had the pace to be on the front row, but suspicion is that the long-wheelbase Mercedes is simply not as well suited to the tight and twisty Hungaroring as other, faster tracks.
Lewis Hamilton, who finished fourth in qualifying, speaking to Sky Sports: "It hasn't been the easiest or most straightforward weekend."
"We knew Ferrari were quick, we were aware of their pace. I think we did quite well considering. You can't overtake here, it will most likely be a train unless we do something with strategy."

Kevin Magnussen told Nico Hülkenberg to "suck my balls, honey" after the German criticised his driving at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Magnussen and Hülkenberg battled for 11th position through Turn 2, with the Renault driver adopting the outside line, before being edged onto the grass by his opponent.
In the post-race press pen, Hülkenberg approached Magnussen, who was conducting an interview with Scandinavian channel Viasat.
"Once again, you're the most unsporting driver on the grid," Hülkenberg told Magnussen, leading the Dane to respond "suck my balls, honey".
