Is it always on this weekend? I can't remember. Was last years British GP on this date? I don't think it was.

Usually start of July..

I enjoy Silverstone, here's hoping for a decent race with maybe a different winner?

dulpit · 06-07-2023 09:06AM

Williams have a special livery for this race, commemorating their 800th race. Although I believe that this is actually race 799 because of the missed rave earlier this year...

Agreed, a first Silverstone win for Max Verstappen would be welcome.

geotrig · 06-07-2023 09:13AM

that williams livery is mank, a special "rothmans style" livery would have been better

JeffKenna · 06-07-2023 09:22AM

Hopefully Max can do the job here. Be interesting to see what kind of reaction he'll get from the home crowd...

MadYaker · 06-07-2023 09:48AM

The forecast for the weekend is looking fairly wet but it could change I suppose

Nice. I guess theh decided it was going to be for there home grown and not wherever the next race is which I understandable. Maybe they will use it at the next race too to make it official.

When British fans are involved it wouldn't be a good reaction

After seeing what happened at Wimbledon there must be an extremely high probability and risk of Just Stop Oil protests at Silverstone. Just hope no one does something stupid and gets hurt. The Grand Prix could easily get red flagged and cancelled.

AMKC · 06-07-2023 10:17PM

So I see there is going to be an Extra F1 team at Silverstown this year as part of Brad Pits Formula 1 film,

This was nice to see on Thursday. Jennie Gow, the BBC journalist recovering from a stroke was in the paddock to interview Lewis ahead of the weekend. What Lewis said, couldn't care less, but a bit of positivity to start the weekend.

Hi there folks. I see Silverstone has lovely weather this afternoon.

It is great to see everyone having a nice time.

The top 3 have changed to include Sargent, underneath the RB's at P3 which is good for him.

dublinman1990 · 07-07-2023 12:14PM

Ocon did really well there to get into P2 so far to get up alongside the Ferrari's in the top 3.

AMKC · 07-07-2023 12:19PM

Not the most exciting of sessions so far.

Here is the Red Bulls on the soft tyre now out on track.

dublinman1990 · 07-07-2023 12:26PM

Ooof. George Russell nearly went off the track there at Brooklands.

AMKC · 07-07-2023 12:40PM

Alex Albon on fire again. Hope he can carry it on through out the weekend.

He is a future star for sure.

dublinman1990 · 07-07-2023 03:02PM

An RCM update has said the start of FP2 at Silverstone will be slightly delayed. F2 qualifying has just ended. There is barrier repairs that need to be carried out before the FP2 F1 session can begin.

dublinman1990 · 07-07-2023 03:19PM

Charles LeClerc in still the garage at this time due to an electrical issue in his car. Ferrari are investigating it at the moment.

Sainz is also in P1 at the moment on the timesheets.

Arthur Pants · 07-07-2023 03:26PM

I see Hamilton has brought Roscoe with him for the race weekend. Good call, I'd say Roscoe has a better chance of winning the race than Hamilton.

dublinman1990 · 07-07-2023 03:35PM

Things are looking rather desperate for LeClerc's car at the moment. I don't think he will able to get out in this session if these electrical issues are not resolved soon.

Arthur Pants · 07-07-2023 03:37PM

Mercedes should sign him up for next season alongside George Russell.

dublinman1990 · 07-07-2023 04:07PM

De Vries has a puncture on his front right to the finish of FP2.

Arthur Pants · 07-07-2023 04:40PM

A comment on the BBC article on the practice sessions that made me laugh:

"A significant minority believe Hamilton will win this race. They probably also believe the earth is flat."

This is all getting a bit sad very quickly.

PsychoPete · 08-07-2023 06:24AM

Hopefully it's a Verstappen win this weekend and keep going to beat Vettels 9 wins in a row. It's a bit mad for all Hamiltons dominance he's only managed 5 wins in a row

Arthur Pants · 08-07-2023 07:53AM

You a Hamilton fanboy?

Faugheen · 08-07-2023 08:21AM

Three out of your four posts here have been personal digs at him, all in the space of a couple of hours.

That’s a you problem, no matter who the driver is.

Also, not everyone has to be a ‘fanboy’, I just think the level of hatred towards Hamilton is bordering on insane.

~~

Anyway, looking quite ominous again. Hopefully the Williams pace is legit and we see them there or there abouts.

This is it · 08-07-2023 08:24AM

Hopefully LeClercs electrical issues are sorted
