I think Toto finally decided to stop whining , raise the car and deal with the pace issues from a different angle.

Lewis looked quite fresh post race.

MB could surprise at Silverstone

Max and Checo will be 1-2, until something very stupid happens.
Ferrari will be 3-5, until something incredibly stupid happens.
George will be on the podium.

Albon will be in the points after a Vettel-level passing clinic in the first half of the race.

Ike Tampzinnia will be there with a Groucho Marx glasses.

Well, going along with that sentiment, Lewis & George will be 1-2 as the RBR's will break along with the Ferrari's.

Lando will be third so it'll be an all podium just annoy everyone who isn't British

Something incredibly stupid could happen. . . That puts Ferrari into 1-2.

May the Closed Captioning from BBC Alba be the only thing that works.

sam_spider

Something stupid would be both Ferrari’s finishing a race, never mind a 1-2

Lewis' Silverstone magic is going to put in on the top step.

I actually doubt that even though that's who I voted. I do think the MB will be quicker here thanks to smoother tarmac and recent improvements/understanding of the car.

You never know. The home crowd advantage always seems to favor English drivers. So Lewis, George or Lando could all do well.

Nil-S2k

Home court advantage never favors Leclerc :P

Haha… that’s true
