This is a really important race for Mercedes especially. Because both of their drivers are British. The last race on Silverstone track didn't end well for Russell. He was out of the race at the beginning already. But there was a really serious incident at the same time. Zhou had a really serious accident and thankfully he was okay after it.

I hope we can see a clean race here this time. Hamilton was on podium in the last race on this track. I wonder if we can see the same effort from him. But I'm still favouring Ferrari rather than Mercedes to collect more points in this race. Sainz was even the winner of the last British GP.

If Ferrari don't make big mistakes with strategies they can carry both of their drivers to top places.

I see both of such drivers out of the podium places,the car is in a complete downtrend and I doubt within one week Mercedes to fix all their issues,other teams are working better,McLaren for example is the team with the biggest step forward in terms of upgrades and performances and I definitely see Lando or who knows even Piastri in some top 6 places.

I also think that Ferrari has a chance here only if Redbull screws up like last time where Verstappen had a problem and he could not recover after it which was why Sainz was the winner of this race last season.

Yeah the Austria GP didn't go well for Hamilton at all as he had a huge problem with penalties. It was due to the car's being really difficult to drive of course. But Mercedes are really interesting this season. Sometimes they look quite fast and sometimes they don't. Therefore it isn't easy to be confident of anything about the British GP for me.

But if we consider the last race the most then yeah they don't look promising for this one either. As for Lando and Piastri I think Lando would again stay way ahead of Piastri in this race. The last race was horrible for Piastri. His performance isn't so different than Ricciardo so far.

What do you guys think of either Russel or Hamilton finishing in the podium.  It's their home race so they're prolly gonna be extra motivated for this one.  Odds for them are 4.25 and 2.00 respectively.  Both lines are kinda juiced but what can you do...

Very difficult to assess, motivation alone is not enough, at the last race in Austria I expected Mercedes to be stronger and in contrast Ferrari was stronger. In terms of track layout, i think Silverstone is similar to the Red Bull Ring.

Last year it was a three-way battle between RedBull, Ferrari and Mercedes, I will wait for the practice sessions, fortunately this weekend is not a sprint race.

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.

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.

not sure if they are able to pull top6, but they are improving, it can be seen on each race
but I expect a lot from Hamilton during the weekend, it is home ground, and he should not fight for places outside of podium, since winner is already known, expecting at least fight for position 2, Perez showed skills in Austria, and have better car, but home ground is home ground

not sure what Ferrari can do, two good race in a row, third would be too much

Another nice line I like is car to set the fastest lap at 6.00 for Mercedes.

Anyway, here's the time table for the race.

2023 F1 British GP Schedule
09 JUL  Race  15:00
08 JUL  Qualifying  15:00 - 16:00
08 JUL  Practice 3  11:30 - 12:30
07 JUL  Practice 2  16:00 - 17:00
07 JUL  Practice 1  12:30 - 13:30

You can be extra motivated all you want but if the car does not respond to your driving skills then that extra motivation will be useless and I doubt they will be getting a podium if they perform the same as they did in Austria,in fact it looks like Mercedes has started a downward trajectory when I compare their performance in the previous races with the last couple of them.

What I want to see is McLaren with Lando in the podium as it is also Lando Norris home race and he said he was very happy with the car upgrades,he expect a couple more improvements and he would love to be on the podium in his home race at Silverstone which he described as the best weekend of all the season for him,so the extra motivation here could serve him well,better than the Mercedes drivers.

Ferrari gave some hope to the fans in Canada by making the right strategies and having a solid race. But this didn't last long for them I'm afraid. There was another tactical mistake here indeed and Sainz's race got even more difficult. He showed his reaction to this bad call and a long pit stop time on the radio as well.

Now we have entered another race week. The next race is the British Grand Prix. Silverstone can be the track to determine Perez's fate at Red Bull as well. Because recently it is speculated that Perez might be replaced by Ricciardo after this race.

Actually, Ferrari after Barcelona did a huge upgrade on the car, now they are at the same level or above Aston Martin.

RBR is on another planet and I don't think Ferrari wants to push more for this car, is a wiser choice to spend the remaining money of the salary cap in the 2024 car at this point.

Hoo yeah, finally put in my predictions early, caught your post jeremypwr Wink

Superbru has updated the results, I had no idea there were penalties and positions were gained and lost, and, hooray for me, I moved up to 6th spot just like Lando Norris benefiting from penalties. From 2 points off the leader, I got to only 1 point distance, so I guess I'm doing better than the average required. Seems like CLS63 retained yellow cap after all!

Yeah there were so many time penalties given even a long time after the end of the race.  Grin  I'm relieved that I still haven't lost the yellow cap despite the latest changes. Good job for you as well as there is only one point between us for this race week.  Smiley

This race was really challenging for the drivers due to having serious issues with staying in track limits. But I still enjoyed watching it. Despite not having a wet track we still watched a great competition among the drivers except Verstappen's dominance for the win.

I just checked the new results and I moved up 2 places which honestly I did not expect at all yet I am eleventh and with little distance to that 6th place where you are at at just 3 points distance  Grin.I would love to start doing what I did last season as exactly in these races I started being 2nd or 3rd every race,of course it will be much difficult now as we are 28 people compared to 12 of last season but I am liking what I am seeing.We are still for a fight in the prize spots many many of us so this pool is becoming more and more interesting with each passing race.

Now we have entered another race week. The next race is the British Grand Prix. Silverstone can be the track to determine Perez's fate at Red Bull as well. Because recently it is speculated that Perez might be replaced by Ricciardo after this race.

yeah, next races can be decision in process for Perez, but he gave his best on Austrian race, didn't expect him to be back after bad qualifier

but, Mercedes and Aston Marton were worst, in the end Alonso was good with placement, but they could have done more, as they didn't had will to fight for better positions after not being good at qualifications

seems that having May winning all races have influence on other drivers moral

^  Yup been saying it since Helmut Marko and Christian Horner agreed to make Ricciardo their reserve driver.  I think Marko never really liked Perez.  It showed when he made the tequila comment last year, or was it the other year.  But yeah...  Now some journos are writing it's 'possible'.  Lol.  Not only is it possible, but the writing was on the wall the moment Ricciardo came back.  He's one of Marko's golden boys in Red Bull, like Vettel before him and Verstappen right after.

Marko has a knack for discovering young talent for F1.

Ferrari..... Ferrari.... i see the rebroadcast of the race and they were really luck in the thing of Mercedes and Aston Martin being so bad in this race, because with the awfull double stack in the pitstop they made can cost them the whole race or podiums, if Mercedes or Aston MArtin were more close.

Last fast lap for Verstappen was really stupid and risky without reason. I think it was more like a bluff.

It was very risky yes but he had a good advantage of over 23 seconds over Leclerc when he entered the pits and the average time lost there was 20-21.5 seconds,of course there was risk as a single mistake from the Redbull crew and that would have blown away the complete perfect race that Verstappen was making so far.In the end I am happy that he did that fastest lap of the race as most of us got 1 point plus in the rankings as many people here usually put Verstappen at the fastest lap and also it was his decision as the crew did not want that pit stop,Verstappen wanted it and he took the risk of doing it when everything was fine for him even without that change of tires.
