Voted for Lewis. The winds at Silverstone usually blow in his favor. Hoping it will be a tight and fun race though given that Silverstone may not be part of the schedule for much longer.

Indeed it would. As of now the future isn't certain beyond 2019

If Lewis wins his 5th British Grand Prix on the trot, he will have surpassed Jim Clark and Alain Prost as the driver with most wins in this race

Although I am hoping the winner will be in a red car, or anyone other than Hamilton, I did pick him to take the win.

I, too, voted for Lewis but, FWIW, the British Odds Makers have him and Vettel at even odds. Below that are Valteri and Kimi.

Voted KMag... still shocked at the pace of the Haas team. Tenth's of a second and they could be ahead of Red Bull.

WAG-Haas scores double points, Williams and Toro Rosso won't finish and Hamilton/Vettel will crash together on the first lap.
