Poll should close just before quali, fingers crossed.

 

This should be a painful one for Ferrari, and a real chance for Tracing point to score big.

 

Fast sweeping circuit should see Red Bull in better light this week than we’ve seen so far.

Should help their balance here without the twitching when getting on the throttle that they’ve had in Hungary and a bit in Austria.

Will be good to see how each team get on as this is a really great track isn’t it?

 

Just think this one's going to be Ham-fest.

I only live 10 miles from the cicuit so I always like to think I could stick my head out of the window to hear the cars but that's a bit ambitious.

 

who voted for Max?

 

Perez has an inconclusive covid test! Awaiting 2nd test! The pesemist in me wonders if his contract has a break clause if he's not fit?
Might be stoffel in the car tomorrow!

 

Perez will miss this GP because he's tested positive for COVID. Could start to get tricky if one of the big boys starts missing races.

Still no news on whether Vandoorne or Gutierrez will get the nod.

 

So with the new 10 day quarantine rules in UK he is also out for next Silverstone race!!!!!!! Again the cynic in me sees this as maybe a contract break clause activation event!!!! So much cheaper if Perez gets 'sick' and misses 2 races than buying him out of his contract. Pure speculation of course but I hope Perez doesn't lose his drive.

 

Media speculation that Hulk might be back to race Tracing Point, that would be good.

 

Final attempt at a podium?

 

Wouldn't that be soo good. He might even get 2 goes.

 

It's going to be a bizarre season if we wind up with a number of drivers having to sit out races here and there. Not like it's not already a weird one.

 

Looks like it's not Vandoorne as he has Formula E commitments.

Gutierrez has reportedly driven to Silverstone, but Hulk has had a CoVid test and is supposedly the team's first choice.

 

Russel WDC and Williams WCC .

You heard it hear first















Placing bets on idiotic statements can lead to a financial loss.....

 

You were correct . Hulkenberg gets the drive . I hope he does bloody well !

 

Lando’s lid for this weekend, apparently designed by Eva, age 6. I bloody love McLaren these days.

 

It's almost like when Alonso left they breathed a sigh of relief and rebuilt the team and we are now seeing the results. I'm not knocking Alonso's driving as he can ring an extra 0.5sec out of anything he drives, he somehow seems to be at a team when moral plummets.

I think Carlos and Lando are just great together, they just seem to enjoy pushing each other.
Riccy coming next year should maintain the happy atmosphere.

 

My thoughts exactly!

 

Just imagine if this happens to Bottas or Hamilton. Could seriously effect the championship. This might be the warning the drivers need to minimise their risks as much as possible.
