Top 15 tweets from the British Grand Prix

The 2013 British Grand Prix was a scintillating race, giving a race result which no one could have predicted. Just when we were about to see the first round of pit stops, Lewis Hamilton‘s tyre surprisingly exploded, forcing the race leader to leap back into the pits. After two similar cases in the next few laps, Twitter world was infuriated over Pirelli and FIA’s decision to make such tyres.The last 7 laps of the race showed why Silverstone is a classic venue; Sebastian Vettel lost drive from the race, bringing out the Safety Car. Some drivers pitted for fresh tyres and put on a fresh charge to end the dramatic race in style. We look back at the race in 15 tiring tweets.

Huh huh flirting a bit with the danger now in the British GP, tyre failures at high speed are not good, I know from Barcelona 2008
