F1 2020 - British Grand Prix

Charlie-Bravo

And welcome to the new thread everyone, for the first of two rounds on British soil. The British Grand Prix. It might be a snooze fest at the front for Merc, but hoping the midfield battle gives us all a race to watch.

Weather is forecast as dry with only 10%-20% chance of rain.

Pirelli will bring the C1, C2, C3 compound tyres for use in the race; the following week is the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix, which will also be held at Silverstone, will see the C2, C3 and C4 selection used.

Bottas, Leclerc to think twice if jetting home between the races.

Guittierz doesn't have a super license apparently. Could very well be the Hulk yet

I reckon with a high level of certainty we will see other F1 personnel testing positive in the next few days. One person having it means others will get it.
Hopefully nothing major for anyone and light symptoms at most.

Rumours floating about that Hulkenberg could be in line to replace Perez:

If true, it's probably the best opportunity he'll ever have to get that elusive podium spot! :pac:

It would be some story if he came back and got a podium.

ESPN Mexico have the story on it:

Maybe they could do a test run of the 2021 line ups. Vettel in for Perez, Sainz in for Vettel, Ricciardo in for Sainz and Alonso in for Ricciardo.

Seemingly he went home to Mexico after the Hungarian GP and there are photos on Instagram of him meeting some fans in a restaurant. He was then in Italy last weekend with his family. His wife had pictures up on Instagram but has since deleted them. So much for bubbles.

Jeez that is terrible. Hopefully he makes a full recovery. Hopefully as said above its only mild and he makes a full 100per cent recovery. It's not something I would wish on anyone and the testing is not plesent either. I know as I got tested myself once when I thought I had it but it turned out to be something with similar symptoms that I am now over thankfully. It was not fun either and I still have no idea where I got it from.

Frank Bullitt

Wow, the first driver. Shows that this thing can be caught even with the strictest of rules.

CMCXCV

Sergio Perez has tested positive.

Hopefully only a mild case and quick recovery.

namloc1980

Perez tested positive.

Hopefully it's just inconclusive and not positive. A reserve driver will step in if needed.

I give you, the most exciting thing to happen for this weekend.

namloc1980

Max Verstappen will equal the 106 career Grand Prix starts of his father Jos this weekend. He's 22!

Lando Norris just continues to be an absolute legend.

Vandoorne/Gutierrez. More likely Gutierrez as Vandoorne will probably be with Merc's Formula E team in Germany.

I think we are all hoping that now at this stage.

Pretty low I think, the Merc handles these fast corners better than the RB and it also has more power on the straights, I would expect it to be a straight fight between Bottas and Hamilton!

Mercedes is just top tier so far this season, their speed is just too much now at the moment.

quokula wrote: »

Pretty much zero.

Only hope they have is if Hamilton makes a complete mess of the weekend and bags himself a bunch of penalties like he did at the first race.

I doubt that now, I say he has learned from his mistakes, or you would like to think he has anyway.

flazio

I'm actually expecting a Black out front row with a pink out second row.
It'll only get interesting from 5th downwards.

Miserable of Sky. Both races at Silverstone should be live. Anyway here is hoping that Max and Red Bull have a better weekend than the last few and maybe even win the race.
