Don't want to hear anyone say Red Bull don't have the quickest car

And we get to do it all over again next week. Pray for rain. 

There's no need to do 2 races at the same venue.  Already too many races.

Expected much better. Was a bit of a procession for Max today. Right from the start Max had pulled away from Lewis within a few laps. Very easy.

Worry that instead of the tight red bull Vs Merc season we hoped for, we'll get another one sided season

[The Bear]

Dull as hell. I think I FFWD'ed through 80-90% of it. 

 

We get to repeat it all again next week too

As good as Redbull have been I just don't have faith that the Honda engine isnt going to blow up at some point 

[Brainy]

Verstappen and Hamilton are/have been on top of their games for years, first few races of the season seemed close enough but now for Red Bull, and in previous years for Merc, both drivers have just been on it 100% to make the smallest of advantages work in their favour. Doesn't matter whether its the 5 second a lap advantage people seem to think Hamilton has had for 7 years of a few tenths that Red Bull seem to have now. When you need a big pace advantage to overtake track position is vital, only way I see Hamilton winning races from here is reliability issues for Red Bull or a strategic masterclass.

For general admission, Woodcote. Park at silverstone village and walk, get there early and head straight for it as there's only a narrow strip about 5 rows deep, there's an entrance close by and a couple of big screens opposite , it's also at the end of the drs overtaking zone so you see quite a bit of action,  although i don't know how it works this year regarding the social distancing stuff. It's the beginning of the old start finish straight as well, so the cars are flying. 

 

 

 

 

Nice one. I will be going to Friday FP and Saturday so can have a move about then as well. End of hanger straight/Vale/Corpse seem quite popular. I guess it is like for like and some people will have preference over others. 

 

Going to be an early start on the Sunday!

Lol 😂 I thought mclaren treated Honda like crap so I’m pleased they have had a chance to prove they can get up to speed, but yes the test of reliability still needs to be passed.

[The Horse's Mouth]

This season feels quite like 2017 but Merc filling Ferraris role, Hamilton binning it in Baku will probably be looked at as his vettel Germany moment if Max closes the title 

[PhillippaT]

Time for deja vu all over again?  

[Super_horns]

Lewis staying with Mercedes for another 2 years which will see him help the team when the new regulations come in .

 

Can he celebrate with a pole or another weekend of Red Bull domination?

[Legend_in_blue]

[PhillippaT]

Go Lando!

[isaidno]

What a lap by Lando 

[The Horse's Mouth]

If Danny Ric was called seb vettel they'd have written his career off

[Super_horns]

Russell gets into the 3rd season and out qualified Stroll  to get 9th!

 

Norris 2nd behind Verstappen with the Mercedes only 4th and 5th

 

Great session.

 

Ricciardo really having a bad season .

[Brainy]

Wonder if we'll still be talking about the great title fight of 2021 in five months time

[isaidno]

Russell now P8. Hope he finally gets a points finish for Williams.

It's over before it started isn't it. Merc have just gone in with last year's car minus the DAS and its showing.

 

Shame, the sport needs a proper title fight

[isaidno]

That was never a penalty for Lando

[Brainy]

This is shaping up to be a great season
