Shame for Vettel but at least that keeps the championship interesting and shows Red Bull aren't invincible.

Really hope Raikkonen or Alonso win this now, I've nothing against Rosberg but one of the other championship contenders really needs to win here to keep Vettel on his toes!

Am now just trying to follow on live text, has another tyre gone?! Serious Qs to be asked of Pirelli now - I wonder will we get teams refusing to race next time out on safety grounds like all the Michelin runners did in the US about 7 or 8 years ago...

Why should Red Bull have justice? Red Bull were only in the lead due to tyre failures with Hamilton.

Where is Hamilton's justice?
Vettel and Hamilton both deserve more from this race.

I feel sorry for Pirelli though; they could make better tyres - it's the powers-that-be that want them this weak to make the races 'exciting'.

But as much as I want a championship contender to win here, I would love Webber to win - that would be the perfect result. Nothing to do with RBR, but because he deserves such a Silverstone swansong

Congratulations, Rosberg! If only Webber hadn't had that collision at the start.

Wonder how Hamilton will be feeling at this moment in time. Yes, he's salvaged 4th but his teammate has already won 2 races.

More because he where he parked his car than anything. That safety car was vital in bunching the pack.

I was going to say Riccardo wagged his finger at Sutil then I realised what you meant...

Rather cringe-worthy, listening to Horner forcing himself to say something nice to Webber.

There was nothing he could have done, everything that happened today was beyond his control - Rosberg won because Vettel retired, Vettel was winning because Hamilton's tyre fell apart.

Lewis can feel angry at Pirelli, but it was basically bad luck.

I think it's evens. Rosberg had his bad luck at the start of the season, and Hamilton is having his share. Felt very sorry for him - lucky with the 2 safety cars but could have nicked a podium - if only he'd got the tyre failure/puncture closer to the pits.

Are we talking about Hamilton, Vettel or both?

Vettel will just be relieved Rosberg and Webber finished top two and limited the damage on his lead.

Ah the Germans win the British GP nice to see.

Dream result for Alonso Samuri drive to the podium with an ill handling car.

Wins at Mercedes Rosberg 2 - Hamilton nill.
