670: What Safety Car? - 2026 F1 British Grand Prix Review

from Motorsport101 · host Dre Harrison

The biggest F1 race of all-time, by attendance alone - 175,000 in the house at Silverstone for the 2026 British Grand Prix, and for the first time in over 600 days, Charles Leclerc is back in the win column. But it was a rocky road to get there.The weekend looked like it was going to be a fight between Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton after the latter took Sprint Pole, and Kimi won said Sprint late on while draining Lewis' battery. But Leclerc was stronger on Sunday with a strong defensive drive. But Kimi Antonelli showed outrageous pace while going long on his medium tyres, gaining a 10-lap tyre delta and a 1.5 second pace advantage... until a broken wheel shield while driving over the kerb at Copse ruined his day.To compound his misery, we had a late Safety Car drop him out of the points due to a track limits penalty, and a SC that took a rather long time to be cleared after Max Verstappen's rear wing failed to close properly, putting the Dutchman into the wall at Stowe. It's led to a mass debate about Safety Car procedures and the classic battle between sports and entertainment. Should we be red flagging races late? Is there something wrong with the process?All that and more in another Motorsport101!
