Sigh, tried moving around some picks on gut, took a big risk, and still end up 1.5 points behind yellow cap. Superbru as usual being really slow to update so can't even really see the leaderboard to check if I moved up/down the ranks but I'll take anything below 2 points off the pack leader.

Slowly but surely, I think I can manage that. Great Hammie finish, wouldn't you say (unless you're the prancing horse)?

Great Hammie finish but yes he knows how to take profit of the situation thanks to his experience and his race engineers which by the way are completely different than those of Ferrari which seems to be screwing their drivers with their strategy race after race.

I also checked Superbru and this tournament it takes ages to confirm yet I see I am just 0.5 points behind the yellow cap winners which are two this time,as long as I maintain 0.5-1 point distance from the yellow cappers every remaining race I am sure I can end in the prize spots but it is to early to be thinking about it,let's take every race as step by step toward that goal.

Very good start from Norris, the second McLaren had also almost overtaken Verstappen and is now also putting Verstappen under pressure. Hamilton made a small mistake and is now in ninth place, Perez also had a bad start, I would have prediction LecLerc as second, I hope Ferrari doesn't ruin the race again in the pits or with the strategy.

Alonso had a good start and is already seventh.

McLaren was truly the best car after Redbull and even Redbull maximum in 25 laps of the race made just a 6.9s distance meaning that it was not that bad as an engine which even Russell said look how fast is that McLaren in the straight even with those hard tires.

Unfortunately Ferrari screwed it once again with their strategy,I think twice,first by making Leclerc come in the stop as the first drivers of the top at an early stage of the race compared to other drivers,the second with Sainz,he asked his race engineer please sort this out soon,and he said to him stay out,another mistake which cost them being the last places in the point,a complete disappointment for Ferrari in this race.

McLaren kept their promise for Silverstone race and the fact that even Piastri who had not been in good form recently was in 3rd place while Norris in 2nd place means that the upgrades truly have worked out.

I think it will be difficult for both of the McLaren drivers to be on the podium today but surely Lando with his experience can manage to be at least 3rd while for people blaming Perez me included,he for all of us has a good opportunity to repay us all as we bet on him to be on the top 3 and we make some nice amount of money Grin

.

The bell tolls for Perez after another disappointing qualifying performance. They asked Verstappen about Perez's qualifying performance and he said that you should be able to qualify for Q3 with this car. He is right of course as Red Bull have the fastest car on the grid now. Just look at how Albon is much better than him recently with that poor Williams car. Grin

There was even a rumour like Albon would return to Red Bull but now it is said that he might be brought to Ferrari in case of Sainz's departure. Ricciardo is still the most rumoured driver to replace Perez. Perez has no choice other than climbing to podium again. At least it would be some compensation.

There is no such thing as Sainz departure on the horizont,I think you have not read the news all over the place where Ferrari extended for another two seasons with Sainz while Leclerc is near it too so there is no room for Albon to come to Ferrari,not at least before another 2 seasons end.

I think Perez has still everything under control as long as he can qualify second in points in the end of this season which is easy doable in my opinion considering he has the best car on the grid then he would be renewed his contract,why would want Redbull to ruin things as long as Max wins titles and his team mate is 2nd overall?

I have also read later on that Mercedes have brought a new front wing to this race weekend. It might be a good improvement for them to increase the grip more. Because this was the main issue for Mercedes in the Austrian GP last week. We should be seeing improved lap times technically but let's see.

So I was wrong and McLaren is very very strong and starts directly behind Max Verstappen, in an interview Marko himself said he was surprised and had not expected McLaren, but he expects Mercedes and Ferrari to be stronger and is happy to take the buffer McLaren.

Mercedes may have tested a little too much and not managed to get the fast lap together, let's see how the new parts work in the long run today.

We are in FP3 and there is no rain yet. I wonder what the weather will be like during the race time.

Looks like @coinlocket$ prediction on the weather was correct. Sunny and still for qualifying as it just ended with Norris almost taking it and my heart sank.
Because I had him on pole position for the race but changed it just after P3 was done. Because Max is just too good when the weather is good and the track is dry.

There was some rain later on but it didn't rain for a long time though. There is some probability for rain according to weather report in Silverstone but let's see. No matter what I feel like this race will be great anyway.

The qualifying session was really good. McLaren did an incredible work by capturing the 2nd and 3rd places. I really admired the work Piastri did by taking the 3rd place for the race. Norris was also nearly taking the pole position if it weren't for Verstappen's better lap in the last moments. Perez is again a huge disappointment and he will need to climb to top places.

Drivers like Hamilton really don't lose much from their skills even when they are 41 such as Alonso. Alonso is one of the most consistent and successful drivers of this season in the end. Making big positive changes on Mercedes' car can make Hamilton believe in his 8th title again. Otherwise he isn't likely to make this happen while Red Bull are dominant this much.

Age is just a number, especially in this sport where the psychical component is not the only source of strength.

If in 2 years he will have the dominant car he can still win even if his body is 0.2 seconds slower.

Wow, really big achievement from McLaren.
Lando Norris P2 (almost beat Verstappen) and Oscar Piastri P3 is a good position tomorrow to get many points. I wonder how McLaren will perform in the race, if their setup is maybe mainly set for qualifying or their laps just have been a bit lucky considering the track still got faster in the end?

And Perez had a very weak performance again. While Verstappen took pole, Perez didn't even manage to advance past Q1, it's really a joke, what Perez is doing recently. Maybe I should bet against a Perez podium again and that will bring Perez a podium once more. Cheesy

If there's no rain or no safety car, it'll be difficult for Perez to get a podium...

We are in for an exciting race for sure.
Looks like we can be in for some surprises in our predictions as well. Perez so far behind + strong McLaren and strong Albon is not what participants are usually picking in our prediction pool.

^ Didn't Hamilton send some feelers that it's still possible that he could join Ferrari? Winning his 8th title there and break Schumacher's record would be something... It's something to root for even if you're not a Hamilton fan or a Ferrari fan. And it's gonna be the perfect ending to his career.

It is not looking possible as at Ferrari they have extended with Sainz and it is a matter of time that Leclerc will extend too if he has already not done so.I would agree with that change though,Hamilton needs to get out of Mercedes and try to win the title,the 8th title but the best team to do it is to go to the one who put Hamilton in F1 the first time,McLaren,speaking of put both drivers in the top three during this qualifier of today and it showed that they truly kept their promise that said in Silverstone you will see a completely new car,I believe they can even further upgrade the car and its performance and once they get hold of it,having a winning car,Lewis should be part of that in the end of his career.

Remember when Hamilton was driving a McLaren for his debt season in the F1?
He wishes maybe to still be driving their cars with Norris getting place 2 on the grid for tomorrow and even Piastri made it through to P3.

But seriously, I think Lewis will end his career with Mercedes cause they will keep offering more money than any other team want to pay him at his age.

Yesterday Mercedes tested a lot of new parts and didn't do any laps with the red tyre, the focus was on the new parts and not the fastest lap, I'm curious how qualifying will go for Mercedes.

In 2026 Hamilton will be 41 if I remember correctly and that age would be a great achievement if he can win a title,it is like Alonso is today and sure Alonso the best overtake of his career he did it in the damage of Hamilton during one of the races of this season so age is not a determining factor.

Mercedes will have a huge difficulty bringing both cars to the podium in the race of tomorrow but to clear any doubt I may have I will wait for the official qualifying to finish and see their performance,if it is not good then I am going to place a bet on Mercedes both cars out of top 3 and even out of top 6 I will try.

Mercedes absolutely need to bring some solid upgrade to Silverstone. Because this is the most important race for them in the calendar. A win is very difficult to get maybe but their maint target would be to be on podium at least. Carrying both Mercedes drivers to podium would be just a dream for them as long as the other teams don't mess up things that much. Toto Wolff gave an interview together with Domenicali recently by the way. He emphasized how skillful driver Hamilton is and said that they owe the 8th title to him.

However in the circumstances winning that title is too difficult for Hamilton I'm afraid. He will need to be more patient to have a chance in the future maybe. 2026 season could be a chance maybe depending on the changes to be made then.

I just had a look at the weather forecast, could be a dry qualifying today, according to my weather forecast only a slight chance of rain, and that more on the evening, but the race tomorrow could be in rain or changing conditions.

To be honest in last 3 races , Williams and especially Albon have showed great potential in that car and I would love to see Williams back on podium once again because even if Russel got one in Spa 3 years ago , it was due to heavy rain and the race was cancelled.

Oh , if the rain will appear during Sunday race on this track...we are surely set in for a chaos race from start to finish. Great for the viewers but not so great for the drivers. Grin
