If Sergio Perez keeps on doing this qualifying fiasco and right now he isn't doing fine in the British tracks so far there is no improvement if he doesn't land the podium for the Race then maybe Ricciardo could change Sergio Perez for good, but let's see if the management could throw Sergio Perez away, and if Daniel Ricciardo had a decent performance than him,


I have researched even more and it was really Eau Rouge the name of that famous corner for the 2 drivers that died here I know Anthoine Hubert and Dilano Vant Hoff crashed because of the Tracks angle for sure drivers will not see the going up curve so they will not have a view on who was on their front or what is up ahead for those crash to happen so it was surely a sad day,


Yup! Thanks for the heads up it was really the same crash as the Dilano Vant Hoff and the Anthoine Hubert crash they are going in the Eau Rouge an up-and-down corner that has a fatal consequence just passing there, I think the Officials would need to see this and look for better angles to change up some features of this corner to make it safer for drivers passing it I am really tense right now because for the weeks to come F1 will be on the British GP well maybe on July 28,

Most drivers love Eau Rouge corner, but nature of this turn makes it very dangerous. Main problem that if accident happens, cars jump back to track from wall. And drivers behind who go uphill can't see what happened ahead and they don't have enough time to react and avoid car that jumped back on track. After fatal crash of Anthoine Hubert not enough things were done to avoid such accidents in future and Spa took life of another yong driver.
There is also responsibilty on organizers. It wasn't wise decision to let racing on heavy rain without much visibility, especially considering that there was over 30 cars on track with young drivers without much experience behind the wheel.

I agree Carlos Sainz is looking comfortable on this track for sure, But Charles Leclerc is looking much more comfortable now and even when the rain had poured down there is no one that could match his speed on this track I think it was a good call for him to call it out and take the remaining slick floor on turn 18 to 19 before changing tires just to lead the track before the rain pour for once this is Charles Leclerc good decision that landed him the 1st position on Practice 3 for me even Max Verstappen had a hard time just getting the position 8 for this Circuit while Sergio Perez again couldn't be seen near the position  10 again, but this is just Practice 3 because, on the Qualifying rounds, it is all become different

BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2023 - QUALIFYING RESULTS

In this qualifying, Lewis Hamilton lost grip on that Slippery turn and his car spins out of the track and into the gravel he still manages to get back on track while Max Verstappen damage his front wing on the pit while dumping on the wall but it was repaired by the pit crew fast and he had returned to the track in good condition but because of this everyone have managed to finish Q1 Alexander Albon on the top Valtteri Zhou Guanyu, and Lando Norris is looking great clearing Q1 Williams Alex Albon is flying along with Lando Norris but still Max Verstappen has managed to land again in the 1st position getting back the time that he lost, but surely McLaren have proven here that they have improved not only the Livery but their performance aswell because the 2 McLaren had done a great job in the Qualifying,

At first I thought the Mercedes were going to do better than the Ferrari cars on this track but from I have seen so far in the practice 1,2 I have changed my mind.
Sainz is looking comfortable on this track so I can see him and Leclerc grabbing a possible podium in this race instead of Hamilton or even Russell.
Was thinking Norris with his new upgraded Mclaren were going to blow everybody out of the water. But alas, it wasn't ment to be and the chrome just didn't shine in the bright british sun this weekend thus far.
Am watching the last and final practice 3 and it seems to be the all the same as yesterday.
Nothing has changed much if any in this run from last night.

It is likely that the pressure is truly eating Sergio Perez, and this podium win will likely return his eagerness to win again or return to his old self or there might be another thing going on why he keeps on losing his pace, well looking at the Monaco GP where I think Sergio Perez starts his decrease in performance, in the 2022 season Sergio Perez won the race while Max Verstappen was on the 3rd position while the Spanish GP Perez was on the 2nd position while Max Verstappen was the winner, and lastly, the Canadian Grand Prix, where Checo didn't finish the race and was out because of Machine problem but surely it wasn't the right thing that happen why Sergio Perez has this kind of poorperformance, and surely the pressure is going through,


Looking at this sudden fatal accident of Dilano Van't Hoff I likely see this as the same crash for Anthoine Hubert an F1 driver that Juan Manuel Correa have run over and crashed on the same corner the Eau Rouge as I really don't know if that is the correct corner but it has cost lives I think that Uphill corner needs to change the uphill where the driver can not see where they are going is likely causing some accident and now that the F1 race will commence on Belgium on July 28-30, the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps Circuit needs to investigate and change the Uphill because certain drivers feel surprised with that certain Corner, as Drivers will be launched like rockets as the are going uphill, it was likely a dangerous Corner that needs to go away,

F1 British GP is going to be something to behold with everything that went down in Austria this past weekend.
The British teams will all have something on tap from what happened to the drivers and their teams.
For example what occurred to Lewis Hamilton and Toto Wolff over the team radio during the race was telling of what is going on within their team's confidence level of their car:
Toto had enough of Hamilton's non-stop complaining about other drivers going off their lines and the car's performance

Here is what the Mercedes team principle had to saw about that:

Lando Norris did his team proud and I wouldn't doubt he will build upon this momentum for Mclaren during this weekend's race on his home track at Silverstone.

Williams also changed their Livery for this British GP aswell.

So some news if anyone likes Ricciardo, he's back for British GP already Reserve of course so testing, for another old name back

And at the same time 2024 schedule is announced. More sustainable so more races in a single region hence starting at Bahrain and ending at Abu Dhabi. GREAT idea thinking of the logistics problems this season!!


No idea about the corners or names, but I would feel like if those corners are already identified as dangerous and new drivers don't like it, shouldn't they do something about it? I mean, I love to watch exciting turns we all do but no excitement is worth the safety risk.

The New Livery for McLaren seems ok to me, but you are right it is for the sponsor, and for the money I think they needed it the most for the Expenses needed to keep McLaren rolling in the F1 race and for the upgrade of the cars aswell, which is kind of disappointing after the Bahrain GP McLaren got 18 upgrades but it is likely not seen with the McLaren performance because they still have poor performance in their recent GP, but Lando Norris is kind of doing great in the recent races, but still, he needs a much more powerful car so he can showcase more of his skill,


For me, they really needed some advertisement to keep the money going and it is not really cheap to produce an F1 team, which would likely cater to huge expenses with the upgrades parts, maintenance, salary for the team, and other expenses, so I think not only for McLaren but for the falling teams behind the last position, it is likely a battle for money instead of skills and technique, but still I am enjoying it,


Well, after the practice, qualifying, and the race I am watching the last Grand Prix for a certain place and Circuit and what may happen for today's GP, but last year's British Grand Prix was full of action at the start Zhou Guanyu have a terrible crash his car flips over but luckily he was never hurt during the Crash with George Russell and Alex Albon on that crash, but the drama on this race was on the last laps when Max Verstappen suddenly got his car slowed down and so Carlos Sainz, was on the lead while Charles Leclerc Sergio Perez and Lewis Hamilton was the 3 cars that are fighting for the podium that time it was a great race to watch while the crowd goes wild on that Grand Prix, but surely we can not take any note from this past race, but it was a great watch when Ferrari is doing great, Here is the Video

2022 British Grand Prix


It was so sudden and at only 18 years old on the Belgium track, I think that Corner was what they call Eau Rouge correct me if I am wrong, and this is a famous track where if a driver is new in driving towards it you can have an uneasy feeling on it,

So I'm a bit of a happy dog because of the penalties in last race, but I'm sure everything evens out in other tracks so I won't celebrate so soon just wondering how long more my pool position can last lol

Any tips for British track? Is it dumb to take Hamilton win? Or just go safe for podium?


Didn't realize this until now, very sad, and a constant reminder how dangerous this sport can be and the risks drivers/racers take to give us entertainment

So we are off to Aston Martin's home track of Silverstone for the Aramco British Grand Prix for this race weekend!
Can Fernando Alonso and his protégé Lance Stroll in the AMR23 cars make the home-based team proud?

Mclaren will be making their debut of the chrome livery on the british track:

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.first-look-mclaren-to-run-special-chrome-livery-for-british-grand-prix.4ZjrGJSVAfQOoGA7klYRgQ.html

Seems that Mclaren now focused too much on changin their liveries, rather than improving their car. I know that car now should resemble their glorious era when Hamilton won his first champion title, but with that papaya color it doesn't even look similar
I also expect good performance from Mercedes, but it's going to be difficult to fight with Ferrari if they won't fail with strategy - they're looking good now.

I dont like this change of livery in Mcclaren, some of them are horrible, and made it only for the power of money. The only good one was the gulf, because it remember to a the great past one.

I expect Mercedes making a good race in his "home" race. The past year Russel was very unlucky in that start.

I agree with you, and I would also say that this time Hamilton has more chances to win this match than others. The guy is very much familiar with the track, and its his own home ground. That makes it easier for him to go better than others, however, racers like Max Verstappen can also drive very well on the track and that guy can also win this match. He has won many of the previous matches, and I'm quite sure that the guy can be a tough competitor for Hamilton this time.

I can't wait to see Hamilton dominating others in this race, and the Verstappen to compete very well against Hamilton. Who knows someone else wins the race this time? But, still my hopes are with these two players only and I believe that at least one of them will win the race. I hope that Hamilton will have victory in this race.

I think he is just feeling the "2nd" driver and they have the same car with Max but why is Max always first? Like what is the difference? I think that's just how the pressure is coming at him. At least he has come back with the right competitive phase. It's all about staying competitive and being strong. Do you think they are something alike with Ricciardo before? When he is the 2nd driver in RB?

This is going to be interesting race to watch for any F1 fan, and I would give advantage to Hamilton instead of Alonso.
Hamilton knows this track very well and I think he won eight times here or he finished on podium and he is at home ground in UK with big support behind him.
Red Bull Racing and Verstappen are still favorites to win but this might be biggest chance for someone to take the win as underdog.
Good bet for me is Hamilton to finish in top 3.

Max Verstappen is the number 1 driver, while RB19 is the number 1 machine put them together you can say it is a dominant force, for some that are bored with the F1 race, they should protest to take the mechanic thing that could upgrade their f1 machine in every team, well for F1 to not be boring all driver should drive an RB19,


Surprised about Sergio Perez making it to the podium again for sure he needs to improve so much that he is getting pressured, for sure he doesn't need to be pressured and relax even though his team would say for him to be relaxed it is the pressure that is likely keeps him from performing good, he should stay focus in every race he will participate, for me Carlos Sainz has battle toe to toe with Sergio Perez for the 3rd position, and Charles Leclerc is 2nd in the podium I really think that Charles Leclerc needs a little push but for him to overtake Max Verstappen he would need the will and determination to never give up,

There are so many penalties, and the Driver constantly popping on the radio and pointing fingers at another driver that he committed a penalty while Max Verstappen was on the move and minding his own business, most drivers on the back were pointing at each other's throat, surely Lewis Hamilton was full of penalty like he was driving like he didn't care, it was funny but it was entertaining in my opinion, and surprisingly this is what I was confused about Nico Hulkenberg was already out of the race and riding in the track but still get a black and white flag was really weird and funny at the same time,


Carlos Sainz is handing it down to Checo, and not letting him pass and it lasted for a couple of turns until Sergio Perez have seen the light in taking the lead on Carlos Sainz, While Charles Leclerc is really lacking something but he never know that to himself, and they literally giving a try to the saying that experience is the best teacher but they are not learning much towards it, but it is another podium for Leclerc, while Sergio Perez has redeem himself and flying towards the podium if he keeps up this pace he can eventually always landed the podium, well Hamilton wants to get his lead to get his 8th championship and to past the legendary Michael Schumacher,

I think RedBull have the chance in their hands to broke the record of the most dominating car in history hold by the Mcclaren from Senna and Prost era, followed by the Mercedes froma few years ago.

WE have 12 more races, its a lot but MV and RB are so much dominating and they can make that possible the 100% rate of wins. The only chance to not achieve that its a engine failure or a crash, but for that maybe Perez can win when one car its broken.

I hope this not happen i dont like a 100% win from one team.

Sainz has been upping his form lately. Ferrari should have given Leclerc a team order at the start of the race. Leclerc did not make that defense to Max. Leclerc is very realistic, but he is not a racer, unfortunately his spirit is lacking. If Max were realistic, he wouldn't have won his first title like Leclerc did. The pit stop exit could not have made that accident in Monza. We would have been watching Hamilton's 10th or 11th championship now. Leclerc is a good pilot but unfortunately he can't be great. The tendency to take risks is very weak. Sainz isn't much of a good co-pilot either. He protects tires and listens to his team. Ferrari needs young Alonso. If he wants to be a champion, he should not be a passive personality.

So many penalties this weekend by the time the race was over the places shifted 20 hours later.
Once instance was that one driver had 17 laps deleted from the P1 with Matt & Tommy show on youtube stated late in the day after the race:
The Funniest Tweets from the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-noCGC4J00

Even on the F1 forum pool it caused some to lose points, for instance I had 15 pts tallied after the race after checking 10 hours later.
Today it adjusted to these lap penalties which affected the majority of the drivers and now have 14.5 pts.
I think Russell got away without any infractures through the entire race don't quote me on this since the FIA goes over the tapes days later.
