Only 16 of the 23 riders who started the British GP at Silverstone crossed the finish line, the season's second-lowest completion rate, matching France, Hungary and the Netherlands at 16 finishers behind Germany's low of 15. Pol Espargaro pointed to unusually high track temperatures pushing the front tyre to its limit, while Jack Miller said Sunday's surface simply felt more slippery than expected.

Yeah, no surprise if you've stood in that pit like I have. Silverstone running hotter than usual chews up the front from lap one. Swap Saturday's soft for Sunday's harder medium and you lose support—pushing the front wider from corner entry to exit. You can feel it losing grip right through your fingertips on the throttle.

Miller's 'the track was slippery on Sunday' - feels like it's always the weather excuse, would rather hear about rider adaptation instead.

Is 16 out of 23 finishers normal? Looks really low to a newbie like me.

16 finishers ties for second-worst this season with France, Hungary and Netherlands. Not normal at all.

16 of 23 finishing sounds chaotic but honestly great racing, way more fun than a boring parade finish.

16 of 23 finishing is rough, same number as France, Hungary and Netherlands this year. Something's off.

Finish rate this low is genuinely a safety concern, and Espargaro's front tire hitting the limit is scary.
