This should be a good race.

With RB under pressure and Max not able to consistently scoot away, its a 2-3 man chase for race wins. Silverstone should suit the Mercedes better than the RB Ring. Lando is going to be hyper-motivated to take the race to Max.

I'd like the Mercs to turn up the power a touch for Silverstone, I miss party mode

#IAMF1 . . . But I’m trying to suss out whether this will be a Merc weekend, a McLaren weekend. . . And practically given is Max executing well.

Voted Lewis but I think Norris has a shot

I want to hear Toto on the radio one more time telling Lewis it's Hammer Time. I voted Lewis but it's a bit of a long shot given how equal everyone has seemed. Awesome to see 3-4 drivers fighting for a win.
