British GP chaos, three drivers out of contention and tyre gambles go awry!

A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
The start to the British Grand Prix was filled with excitement, and it has left two top contenders out of a potential fight for the win and three others out of contention.
At the end of the formation lap Charles Leclerc and George Russell took to the pits to switch their inters for hard tyres, and Isack Hadjar and Gabriel Bortoleto also pitted for mediums. Franco Colapinto drove his car back to the garage to never be seen again.
Liam Lawson hit Esteban Ocon coming out of Turn 5 and spun himself out into the barriers eventually retiring from the race.
Gabriel Bortoleto, when the race resumed on the third lap, spun coming out of Turn 1 destroying his rear wing and thus ending his race as well.
