Leclerc has been saying this every race he has not won that his car doesn't feel right to him. So about four races now.
This is what drivers say when they underperform in any race they are in so to put the blame on a mechanical issue and not themselves.
Or the team will just find another driver for next season.
Practice 3 is starting right now!
Qualifying is in a couple of hours from now according to sky sports on my cable box guide.

You guys really think Ferrari has a chance here ? Leclerc has just said that his car doesn't feel great and he doesn't hope for a pole fight but Sainz said that his car has the best pace out there and he can fight for pole today. Now , I'm thinking to take Sainz as a pole winner as the odds are more than attractive but the best odd is still on Leclerc side.

Practice 3 will being in 2 hours and this should set the official pace for the qualifiers.

Silverstone GP comes first among the races I like the most in the calendar together with Baku GP. As Silverstone track has various different turn types it helps drivers bring out their talents a little more. As fast turns and straights overwhelm on Silverstone track generally we can see the tyres wearing out quick. When we look at the general condition now I see Red Bull as a little more advantageous.

Didn't know that about Silverstone, I wonder if it has anything to do with tyres branded Silverstone when I grew up, said they had the best wear resistance (forgive my n00b comments, heh).

Almost forgot about predictions here, nice that Superbru just sent reminders. I put all British drivers in 4/5/6 position, too much for Hamilton podium though methinks?

Yes i have read some news. Mercedes brings a new front wing much lighter. And claims they are in better shape, lets see if finally its true.
Yeah it seems that Mercedes has upgrades on their body to make it more aerodynamically sound.
Red Bull are the ones to make upgrades to their engine.

Let's see who's strategy plays out best on the british track. We will see on practice races then if they don't work still can make small changes to those plans.

Hamilton won it last year but things have changed with the cars since then.
There are alot of articles saying their silver arrow have some surprises in store for this weekend race.

Love seeing these type of fanfare for British race car enthusiasts.

Red bull aren't coming to the table empty handed it and are ready for the challenge:

One thing is certain and this race won't be a boring one.

Quite quickly, the race leaders reacted to the pilots' complaints about dolphining. Now adopted a directive to limit the vertical acceleration of the machine. They will now be measured during qualifying and then they may or may not be allowed to race.
Experts note that teams will suffer the most. Mercedes and Ferrari.

I also liked the statement of one of the racers who compared the process of dolphining to being hits on his head as if it were a basketball bouncing off the floor. Smiley
Yes, they compared this motion to a football player taking a blow to their head several times but through out the course of the race.
But this is up to the sport to decide on what must be done to ratify this issue since it does seem detrimental to the drivers.
To understand the claims of the racers, you can really go up to the wall yourself and bang your head against the wall at intervals of a second.  So about twenty times.  It is clear that this can not be tolerated for long.  Add more stress on the spine and intervertebral discs.  And you will understand why racers do not want to become disabled at 30 years old.  And then walk on crutches. 
I support the fight against dolphining in every possible way. 
And even if the cars will withdraw from the race.

Can not wait for racing to be on again as this wait had been longer than I thought.
There had been a void this weekend without it for most including myself.

Red Bull ring is Max's playground so it will be very hard for Mercedes to make up ground on that track.
Silverstone is were Lewis shines so they will grab the points on this track forsure.

Yes but we have ahead two beautifull tracks, Silverstone and the RedBull Ring. Lets see if Mercedes really makes finally the step ahead.

For all of those hate Mercedes, also needs Mercedes going back if you dont want a RedBull dominance and a boring season till the end of tghe year, because we see Ferrari cant compete at this level against Red Bull.

But with a 3 band competition the mistake can increase and all can have fun and a chance to win.

This weekend there is no race happening so a very sad one for all the gearheads in us.
It does return for the first week in July in Great Britain where surprisingly Mercedes are not the favorite to win with neither Russell nor Hamilton.
I know another week or so to go and by telling the odds of 15x for Lewis to win on his home track are rather high.

You mean the one where he went straight into the padded barrier? He was going into a turn so he wasn't going full speed.
If I remember it right, the announcer was saying it could of been worse. It looked like he was braking when he knew he had lost control because you can see his front tires locking up and stop spinning.

Yep, that's the one. It could clearly have been worse, but I think that they've underestimated the damage and didn't check some things properly. At I think that this caused the failure at the race time.

Didn't see that one coming with Perez having gearbox issues just 8 laps into the race this past weekend in Canada.
It may be related to his crash in qualifying. The car did get quite a hit then.

With one of the Red bulls not finishing that means the heat is on with the Team Mercedes getting a podium win and Russell coming in fourth ahead of Leclerc.
I can see both of the British drivers making moves coming closer to the top of the leaderboard in the next race for the first July weekend in Silverstone.

With the reliability issues the Ferrari engines are facing lately this is very much possible.
I am a bit disappointed that Sainz is not trying at all make the life difficult to his opponents. But I am not sure whether it's lack of skill or he's trying to spare his car to actually end the race(s).

Mick Schumacher had a great performance in the rain, finishing sixth in qualifying and beating many key drivers. Made it to Q3. And most importantly he got the best grid position of his career. Max Verstappen was also phenomenal. He took the pole position in the Canadian GP. Max equalized the total number of pole positions with Leclerc. One of the names i was wondering about is Guanyu Zhou. He also made it to Q3 for the first time. Let's see if surprises will come.

Really easy for Max without Leclerc and without Perez for his own fault, Sainz again show to us he is not a first driver for a top scuderia, he can only be a shield.

Amazing performance of Alonso, hats off, showing his whole experience and making magic with his Alpine in the rain.

Good but risky move from Mercedes with that soft tires in Rusell, dont paying off but a great move to make a pole.

Yes sir, it was incredible what Alonso has made yesterday, also thanks to bad results from Perez and Leclerc (not for his fault). Alonso did an extraordinary lap and I'm really curious at the same time what he will do today

in race mode. Alonso is always an alien  Grin

PS: Takin a look also at Hamilton, that 4th place could be a suprise for us  Smiley
Alonso is almost 41 years old from some previews of today's race cause it was a definite stand out performance from the driver for Alpine.
Hamilton was frustrated and not happy with his engines performance and was very vocal about it at the end of qualifying from what I can recall.
Today's track should be dry so it shouldn't impose any of the driver performance on this track like it did during P3 and qualifying.
Let's go Max and Perez!
Team Red Bull for me today as they are on my betslips.
