The home of motor sport, Brands Hatch. Kyalami a good choice.
Bernie, Essex
Plenty of nations get two grands prix, so why not Brands Hatch as well as Silverstone. It may even be suited to the new hybrid cars and gathering energy under braking!

'Aston Martin will keep getting better'published at 15:48 BST 25 July
Jennie Gow
F1 pit-lane reporter at the Hungaroring

I'm sure Fernando Alonso is going to say there's more to come but he won't be happy with 16th place, really, because there is more he can get out of this Aston Martin. And as they keep on bringing upgrades and keep on developing, it'll keep on getting better and better.

'Win for Aston Martin'published at 15:47 BST 25 July

It's a win for Aston Martin today.
Fernando Alonso was happy he got through to the second part of qualifying, so that's a win. That's what they need. They needed the pace.
Yes, Alonso is down in 16th place, but for them, it's good progress.
Postpublished at 15:47 BST 25 July

Fernando Alonso has qualified in 16th for Sunday's race, it will be a refreshing spot to start from after a dull start to the season.

'Amazing lap from Lindblad'published at 15:46 BST 25 July
Harry Benjamin
BBC F1 Commentator at the Hungaroring

Liam Lawson says the Racing Bulls is so hard to drive. He's got the upgrade package this weekend, joining Arvid Lindblad now with identical cars.
But it's actually Lindblad, who only got two laps in at the of third practice, who sails through up inside the top 10 in seventh.
That's an amazing lap from British rookie Lindblad.

Fernando Alonso is out there on a brand new set of soft tyres while everyone else is in the pits. So he's decided to have a quiet piece of track at the moment - and he's four tenths up on Nico Hulkenberg's time in 10th.
Could it be?!

Isack Hadjar has been complaining over the course of weekend about the downchanges, so maybe he felt something that wasn't slowing the car down as he would've liked, which then resulted in him overshooting it and going into the gravel.

Antonelli: "I've got no grip, Bono. Like, I don't know. We're doing something wrong with tyres. I have zero grip."
