LEWIS HAMILTON WINS THE BRITISH GRAND PRIX

As Mercedes fans, we had a festival when Lewis Hamilton crossed the chequered flag winning his home race for the ninth time. A sensational race, which Silverstone always manages to give us.

Lando finally landed at Miami

It was another race, with Max Verstappen leading, but thanks to the safety car we started seeing something new for the very first time.

But we discussed how a driver shouldn't be driving especially with the tricks pulled by K-Mag, that's something which raised eyebrows. We explore the off track drama, and its Golf Netflix content.

APPENDICITIS FOR THE WIN

What an interesting Australian Grand Prix, compared to last years chaos, this year things just happened in the starting laps and the very final lap.

We delve into FIA not calling a Red Flag when a car was basically blocking the track in a very dangerous way.
