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.

I'm in Italy and rushed back from lunch out to watch the race. Found out only Sky Sports Italia are showing it live, which I don't have. Was disappointed at first but now it seems I'm not missing much. Same old story.

Ah time for the weekly theatre of Mercedes pretending to have a problem.

There’s some amount of grass in silverstone for cutting.
Shout out to the grass cutters

Hilarious that the commentators are talking about Hamilton struggling with blistering on his tyres while he sets another fastest lap in the background. This is an utter snoozefest

Grosjean can redeem humself by binning his car in the next lap or 2

The biggest shame of all is how a vastly inferior driver is going to equal Michael's 7 World titles in a few races time.

‘Vastly inferior driver’.

Oh cop on to yourself. Can we have one weekend without this nonsense?

Anyway. Verstappen needs to come in for softs. Make it interesting.

10 laps to go now.

I was just thinking that. Yes, Hamilton is a great driver in that he does produce what's needed when it's needed, but most of it is down to the car. I would like to see him in a Red Bull or RP and see if he would still produce it race after race. He most likely wouldn't.

Schumacher just produced it wherever whenever however.

SureYWouldntYa

Red Bull will be in serious trouble for 2nd in the constructors with Albon's current performance

Racing Point don't seem to have serious race pace, but McLaren's 2 drivers being constantly in the high points will have them on their tail in no time

That's where I can see some sort of mid season switch or Horner and Helmut being more public with their pressure on Albon

I like the stripes on the grass.

And in an era where he basically drives both of the cars.

BikeRacer

People giving out about the Merc dominance, but if you took both of them of of this race, it would still be a sh*t race.

You just need to look at his McLaren career to know that no, he wouldn’t produce it without an utterly dominant car. Not in the same class as Schumacher, or a driver like Alonso who regularly beat him in an inferior Ferrari at that time.

And even worse next year he will beat him without having to break a sweat. All Hamilton has to do is literally show up to the races.

Faugheen

He’s won a race every year, some of which in absolute dogs of cars.

He’s beaten every team mate he’s had, including three world champions.

You’d swear he was never challenged according to some of the experts on here.

Indeed, then it would be verstappen uncontested, trailed by Leclerc with some first lap skirmish.

Albon sets the fastest lap.
The only point of interest left will be who gets that.

I agree with this. He was crap in 2011 and early 2016, but outside of this he always been one of the quickest guys out there.

How many laps left?

The same Alonso who Hamilton beat in 2007?

If Albon doesn't finish in the top 10. He won't get the BP.

A rookie Hamilton beat a two-time defending champion Alonso when they were both in the same car.
