On a scale of 1-orange how Dutch is the crowd in your stand?
Sunny now. About 99% Dutch I’m guessing. All Orange or Red Bull blue.

Good drive from Checo, the Red Bull's are on another level than the rest of the field. Ferrari's can't keep up, Mercedes still not competitive, Aston Martin fading fast.

Yeah, good recovery drive today in a very dominant car, he just needs to get some consistency back and take the challenge to Verstappen, or at least keep him honest.. Spielberg is a bit of an anomaly and not very representative; Ferraris though have made a significant leap, McLarens look like they've made a very significant leap; Mercedes should fair much better in Silverstone, and I'd say the same for Aston Martin.

Aston Martin’s protest has been upheld. It will be interesting to see what the final results of the race will look like after the penalties are applied. 🍿

Here are the penalties that were handed out after the race. Honestly a bit surprised Perez escaped without a penalty. Every time he was on camera at the final two turns he looked to be over the white lines.

Lol, wtf is up with Ocon with 30 seconds in penalties.
Ocon is known to like to like to put his elbows out....

Indeed, Hamilton kept making this very point about Perez over and over, and was getting more and more annoyed about
the injustice; but there's no way this should be happening in a Formula One race, they need to rectify the circuit/s permanently with non-'back breaking' rumble strips or gravel areas or even just grass in this case, so that we don't keep having these ridiculously long lists of penalties and especially retrospectively applied post-race penalties..

I'm not sure how the circuit is to blame. The drivers are professionals and should be more than capable of staying between the white lines. They exceed them because it can be faster. A number of other drivers, like Alonso, proved they were capable of driving within the lines. If they can stay between the lines in wet weather, why can't they in dry?

That's no way to talk to SIR Lewis Hamilton.
