Absolutely ridiculous finish to the British GP just now... punctures for both Mercedes cars, Hamilton on last lap. Verstappen was so far behind Hamilton, he took an extra pit stop to get fastest lap... but as it turned out, if he stayed out and not pitted for fastest lap, he'd have easily caught the 3-wheeled Hamilton and won the race!

Yes many luck for Hamilton, and for Bottas the worst case so also the championship is for the rest oft the year yet already a one man show. For the construction Mercedes will win with many points bevor the second.

^  Just this year?  More like since F1 switched engines to the V6.  Lol.  Mercedes already had advanced research on the spec and was way ahead of the pack.

I can't wait for next season...

last 2 years were fun to watch, now they are 1 second ahead for lap.

They are improving yes but they were using illegal holes on tires, irregular tests on Pirelli, they were testing the new engine with FIA years before others.

They make a ban on the Ferrari progress engine and they are using now the same thing or their engine...

To be continued

All Teams more than 1 seconnd behind Mercedes, that's tomorrow a boring race. When no weather change or technical error Mercedes will win.

Sorry to say but this situation we will see this and next years with only Mercedes wins.

Yes, I think you are correct. There is a chance of Mercedes winning every race until 2022...
I think Red Bull and Ferrari both gambled with development to try to come up with something brilliant that would beat Mercedes, but for both the gamble failed and they are left with cars that are worse than last year's. Add in a small Mercedes improvement, and the fact that Ferrari can't use last year's engine, and the gap becomes huge.
It's not just Mercedes getting better, it's also other teams trying to beat Mercedes and ending up making their own cars worse.

Fan fact some of those 3 tracks are better than others formula 1 tracks.

I just looked at the Portimao track because I didn't remeber it and from what I can see, I see a lot of spots where they can overtake.

MotoGP also have a race at Portimao, and no race outside from Europe

MotoGP has cancelled the remaining flyaway races in Argentina, Thailand and Malaysia for 2020, but is set to add Portugal to the calendar as the 14th race.

So interesting track also for MotoGP and with 14th race also a exiting championship.

Yep 1 second faster is a too big gap for the other teams. Let's hope something interesting will happen tomorrow.

Hulkenberg is the best choice for Racing Point.
He was driving in the championship last year and he has a lot of experience of races. The only difference is that this year is in a much more faster car than the last season...

I think his best ever finish in a race is fifth. Weirdly, coming in as a reserve this season gives him a great chance of improving on that, and even getting a podium place in the Racing Point.

Racing Point have in this short time not much opinion... You say the right that's the right way with Hulkenberg but for him i think it's very difficult.

To yesterday, Verstappen has a very good pace i hope he can remember this today ✌

I think that one thing is for sure based on the events that happened during free practice and what has historically happened in Silverstone.That is the race is gonna be a really stunningly beautiful race tomorrow I am sure of it.I am just praying for only some light rain to make the race awesome.

Another shitty day for Ferrari, remember the car is not so bad because of the car.

Ferrari lost around 50hp since the change of the oil on their gasoline PLUS Mercedes is using the same thing what was using Ferrari but in a different way for a total of 90-100 hp difference.

Why was banned on Ferrari but allowed in Mercedes?




This is the median value for the prevision for laps on Sunday

Hulkenberg seems to be the top candidate to replace Perez for the race this weekend, but I would love to see that Vandoorne gets another chace. In my eyes, he didn't really get a fair chance to show his talent.
Depending on the result of Hulkenberg, Vandoorne may get a chance for the 2nd race next weekend.

After three Yamaha riders take the podiums one, two and three at Jerez, the Yamaha engine will be tested at the Brno circuit and two race again. As we know, the character of the Brno circuit and two circuit that will be passed  is a straight track, we know that Yamaha has a weakness with a straight track. History can be seen four seasons no Yamaha riders who were able to win at Brno, Honda riders and ducati who were on the podium. Although the speed of the motor is not the main factor, it is very support to win in the next two races that have a straight circuit character. Can Yamaha continue the positive trend at Brno? I think that's difficult.

I agree Yamaha will have difficulty continuing the positive trend at Brno circuit. Especially if you look at the data and history of the last
few seasons Yamaha riders always fail to win at Brno. Hopefully the Yamaha team can think of the right strategy to win at Brno, because
mentally Yamaha riders are ready. We hope that Yamaha technicians can find solutions related to the weaknesses of Yamaha motorcycles
in a straight track.

At Brno i see a chance for Yamaha only the uphill straight you need more engine power but the under circuit at Brno is a balanced circuit. But in Austria that's a power race for the engine there i don't see many chance for Yamaha bu we will see the next 4 Weeks. And Honda have without Marc not really a chance to win, but think he'll be back soon.

Perez have to be at least 10 days in quarantine so will also miss next weekend.

Yes, it does look like he'll miss two races, even if he has no symptoms.

When season is so short, every missed race can affect position in drivers championship seriously...

Indeed. It hasn't been said much, but the quarantining combined with the compressed calendar with races most weekends does make the season a bit of a lottery. Consider Hamilton, leading the championship now by 5 points - if he catches CV19 it could be the end of his championship hopes. Let's ignore fastest lap for simplicity, but if he misses 2 races, then the dominance of the Mercedes is such that you'd expect Bottas to win both, picking up 50 points and taking a huge championship lead of 45 points. If Hamilton then came back and won every remaining race, with Bottas finishing second, then Hamilton would only claw back 7pts per race, so it could then take 7 races (7*7=49) for Hamilton to regain the lead... and by that point there could well not be 7 races remaining.
