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.

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.

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.  Smiley

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.

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

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.

Please i hope the rain make his appearance so we can see a more funny race.

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.

Man i dont see the free practice but WTF, Albon on podium?, and Logan Srageant 5?. Mercedes making a mess, and Leclerc with 0 laps in the second practice.... I dont know what picks to put (aside of Verstappen winning  Grin )

Please i hope the rain make his appearance so we can see a more funny race.

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

Fun fact we got I think 3 GPs with rain in a row so far.

Now we are going in Britain where the rain is almost daily and according to weather website it will not rain for the 3 days needed for the race.
The drivers who can navigate their cars on this track good enough in the rain will do well in the race.
We will see who can handle the wet conditions if there are any today for the first practice which begins in approximately and hour and a half from now.

Nice countdown clock at the top right hand corner on the F1 site for those who want to know when each practice run begins at their own local time:
https://www.formula1.com/en/results.html/2022/races/1114/great-britain/practice-1.html

edit: Watching the feed for the timings there it is showing a 0% of rain  Grin
So @coinlocket$ you are right and we just might finally have a dry British GP in a long while!

You're absolutely right! Rain can add an exciting and unpredictable element to a race, and Silverstone is known for its challenging track conditions, making it even more legendary. In wet races, the skills of the drivers truly shine as they navigate the slippery track and make split-second decisions!!!wet races at iconic tracks like Silverstone can create thrilling moments, and teams need to gather as much data as possible during practice sessions to optimize their setups for qualifying and the race. Flashscore is a handy app for quick updates, while the Formula 1 website provides more in-depth information for avid fans. Grin

And what if the McLaren engineers were slowly getting their upgrades in during the races prior in order to get the car really ready to fight for a top 6 spot for their home race?  Grin 

Mercedes does not have the most powerful engine this year (power train) but still competitive, but I see RedBull, Ferrari (since the last update) and Mercedes also Alonso ahead of McLaren.

Even though Leclerc was really bad today I think he could play a role in the race.

The FIA has also published the new calendar for next season with a total of 24 races, so it's very tight from the beginning of March until almost mid-December.

True true..  I was just thinking Mercedes should prolly get somethin going with the car this week after the weak showing they had last week.  But yeah, we'll see.  Hope it's a good race between Verstappen and whoever is behind him.  A funny little stat for Silverstone is out of 6 races only a couple won from pole.  :/

And good one with McLaren and Norris comment.  I kinda forgot about them.  Lol.  But yeah, an English team with an English driver.  You guys think he could finish top 6?  Seems like a fair bet at 2.50.

Mclaren has been reborn with the recent upgrade.
Piastri will have to this weekend and they didn't install all upgrades the past week.

The top 6 will be hard but if everything works, why not.

Lando Norris is also on the home track and if they will add some other upgrades to that McLaren then they can fight against Ferrari as they have already beaten Mercedes and Aston Martin in the last weekend race in Austria with a great performance with some nice overtaking done.I think Silverstone is a better track,a bit more technical,in fact a lot more technical then Austria and most likely we will see more battles here than we saw in Austria.

I think it will be easily achievable for Lando to be in top 6 in the race taking into consideration that they will upgrade even more the car then I think Redbull and Ferrari will be ahead but no other team like Mercedes or Aston will be able to fight against such McLaren.

And what if the McLaren engineers were slowly getting their upgrades in during the races prior in order to get the car really ready to fight for a top 6 spot for their home race?  Grin 

I think the Mercedes engineers could bring something good here too as it's both of their drivers' home race.  But we'll see.  Sometimes I just like to imagine different possible scenarios...  Prolly why I always lose money betting on these.  :/

The team that could decline is Aston Martin if both Ferrari and Merc could get their act together.

Rain in a track as legendary as Silverstone?Of course the drivers with the best skills should be high in the rankings here if we manage to have a wet race.For the practice they don't need to overdo it,they only need to collect as many data as possible by conducting as many laps as possible and this will be valuable insight to the teams before the official qualifying tomorrow,in which from this data they can obtain the perfect setup for such event.

There is even a better way to know the times of every session,free practice,qualifying and races by just using our phone app Flashscore (which I assume every gambler should have in their phones) and there it shows directly on local time for each of us,although I agree with you formula1 website is the best resource for these type of things.
