Welcome to the discussion post for the 2023 British Grand Prix practice sessions.

Last weekend the race thread was created by one of our users and that went down really well, so I see no reason to not do that from now on.

Given the amount of comments during practice, we may as well keep them all together for now.

Please, if you don't see a post for Qualifying and the Race, feel free to make it. I'll keep an eye out and pin them if they're made. We're still working on bots!

Piastri is having a decent season, don't you think? He's limited by the McLaren being a bad car, but he's not a million miles from Norris in the same car. Hopefully people are noticing that and he can move on in a few years.

Yeah, there's clearly potential there.

He's avoided the constant errors that you often see from rookie or 2nd season drivers (Yuki, Mick Schu and de Vries being the recent examples). Think he's only had one (?) major crash this season which was in the wet in Canada.

From what we've seen in F1 so far he deserves a shot in a faster car one day.
