This is quite a good one

@SilverstoneLocal really, I thought JB was happily married.

I thought JBs wife had left him ages ago.

Seems that he is. She must have been joking or it's been reported wrong.

Nothing to see here

That was his first wife. He married again and had two children. A lot of happy instagram photos.

Much as though I would love to believe JB22 is perfect, I suspect the opposite is true.
If you read very slightly between the lines of interviews with his current wife, she was very much present emotionally, if not physically, before his divorce from Jessica.
I always thought it was strange that they were together so long and then divorced in under a year.

The Jessica situation was weird and I think was partly due to his Dad’s death and his subsequent grief.

JB is no angel and I am wary of instagram happy lives but he does seem to have grown up.

I really can't see Bernie Collins being Jenson's type

Nor him being hers.

@Brazilianadventure that's good to hear that JBs settled.

While it's quiet, any tips on a trip to the Silverstone Museum? Is the heritage trail worth it- we're limited as to when we can do it as it will be Touring car weekend and the track is closed for that.

Race week again.

The drivers market is still in limbo waiting for Carlos to decide where to go, or perhaps Max to Merc. However, those rumours seem to have died down.

Goodwood festival of speed celebrated 20 years of RB F1 cars with a lot of current and past drivers taking the cars up the hill. CH drove one too!

According to Jeremy Clarkson, who went to school with Adrian Newey, Adrian is house hunting near Jeremy implying Aston Martin may be his new home. However, I am not sure I trust a Jeremy Clarkson prediction - surprisingly EJ predictions have been known to come true. 😂

I've seen some stuff about Newey going to AM too. That's what I'd like to see happen.

I’ve heard lots of rumours about him going to Aston Martin too and that’s why Alonso decided to renew his contract

Lando has a new helmet design by the company who made last years trophy - if you recall he broke Max’s. How lovely.

Hail, rain and wind at the Hungaroring. Although the forecast looks sunny and warm.

The helmet is very cool - helmet of the season so far.

Love Lando's helmet and the story behind it!

Magnusson has lost his drive for next season - Haas have confirmed they're dropping him. Word is that Ocon will take his place.

Ocon 🤮

So, who thinks Verstappen will admit he was wrong after he watches the race back? 🙄

I very much doubt it.

I laughed at his comment "so you can push a driver off the track now can you" when that has been his tactic so so many times.

Norris coming across as another arrogant idiot. Is he trying to take Verstappen's crown in the arrogance stakes?

Sick of hearing Verstappen whinge and so so glad he didn't manage to get past Lewis

A very interesting race! I don't like calls for team orders. I think Lando should have held his ground with that one. He's closer to Max in the championship. Why would Oscar want to have his maiden victory as a gift because of team orders? Makes no sense to me. Nice to see Max hasn't changed and he's still the same when things aren't going his way. Was easy for him to be nice and keep the racing clean when he had a far superior car!

Verstappen can't cope when he has some actual racing competition. He then loses his temper and just acts even more of an idiot.

Thought he could barge across Lewis and no doubt thinks Lewis was the one at fault.

Wow - didn't expect that! I see Max reverted to type when things didn't go his way.

Norris once again showing his immaturity - took a bit of the shine off Piastri's win.

I am watching a bit behind - only on race 31 - but there's obviously drama to come, hurray!
