    So happy for Daniil Kvyat he's such a happy man usually and he's even happier now. He had such a rotten time to the start of his career in F1, and 11 races back he's on the podium.

    Verstappen wins crazy German GP #bbcf1

    Philip West: Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Vettel-haters. And if this race doesn’t prove that Verstappen is a world champion of the future, what will?

    Chamath De Silva: Incredible race. All the small teams benefited .. Exactly what F1 needs

    Meda Stamper: My husband just said he's never heard so much bad language from me. How can a team -- I refer of course to Mercedes - have such poor strategy for such an excellent driver Lewis Hamilton. But it's lovely for Kvyat and the Dutch, so I'm festively pleased for them.
