The FIA lost the plot AGAIN and somehow that was only the THIRD craziest thing at Silverstone. On this week's Vankah Hours, Guenther, Brian and Matt break down a wild British GP: the safety car restart, why Guenther is STILL campaigning for permanent stewards, Charles Leclerc FINALLY breaking through and getting his FIRST Silverstone win, George Russell's suspiciously lucky podium, Lewis's soft-tire gamble, and Max's brutal rear wing failure that ended his race. We get into all of it.

We cover:

Rockstar & Wanker of the British GP

The Silverstone restart mess and the FIA's "software problem"

Charles Leclerc's breakthrough win — and is he back?

The Lewis soft-tire call and the "Hamilton special" Ferrari setup

George Russell getting lucky (again)

Max's rear wing failure and DNF

What it all means for Kimi's championship lead

Gas or Brake?

And more!
