It's a home race for Lewis. I'm fairly confident he will win here.

I agree.

On the eve of the British GP comes news that the BRDC is invoking the break clause which means there will be no race at Silverstone. I hope a solution is found. No street race can replace this track

British Grand Prix future uncertain beyond 2019 as Silverstone activates break clause - BBC Sport

Bottas to get a grid penalty for changing his gearbox - Lewis Hamilton second in British GP practice behind Valtteri Bottas - BBC Sport

I still think this is Lewis' race to lose. I think his pace was deceptive in practice given that his times were on the harder compounds, and come qualifying tomorrow I expect he will be on pole.

Voted Vettel.

WAG- HAAS and McLaren will get points, and there will be rain.

What a terrific qualifying session that was. Alonso setting the fastest time in Q1 made my day. What a great effort.


Stoffel Vandoorne will start 8th courtesy of the gearbox penalty for Bottas. I'm just hoping for a double points finish for the McLaren boys.

i hope Vandoorne will score his first points of the season today! if it rains i hope for a double points finish with Alonso charging from the back of the grid :smoking:

What a crazy finish for the Ferraris.

Congratulations to Lewis. It must be so special to win in front of the home crowd and to win 4 consecutively and level with Jim Clark makes it even more extraordinary. He deserves a tip of the hat for bringing along young Billy Monger to the race as his guest and for so graciously acknowledging the fans and young Billy.
