That’s very cryptic, to say the least.
Right, so anyone still think Danny Ric should sign with McLaren?
Don’t rub it in. I’m pretty disgusted right now.
Lol. Sorry.
hahahahahaha I never wanted him near the clusterfuck that is Mclaren - its sad, I have an old Mclaren flag still hidden in a cupboard - I don’t want to admit I used to love them
I still do, that’s the heartbreaking part. If McLaren ever pull out of F1, I’ll lose interest altogether.
I lost all faith in them by 2008
Cor blimey and what what chaps! It’s the bloody British Grand Prix weekend already, init?!
Here’s the schedule:
And the Pirelli Preview:
Pirelli’s 2018 ice blue hard compound tyre will make its debut at Silverstone this weekend, but the majority of drivers have opted to bring only one set of the tyre for the race. Bottas, Sirotkin, Hulkenberg, Ricciardo and Verstappen are the only drivers that will have two sets available.
KMag takes us on a virtual lap around Silverstone:
And a reminder of the Silverstone Circuit layout and its DRS Zones:
And finally, some stats to note as we go into the weekend:
- Hamilton will this weekend attempt to become the first man to win the British Grand Prix six times, surpassing the record jointly held with Jim Clark and Alain Prost.
- The Briton is also seeking his 50th pole position in a Mercedes this weekend, which would put him eight short of Schumacher’s total with Ferrari (a record with one team).
- His team mate, Valtteri Bottas, has finished second twice at Silverstone (2014, 2017) although he’s only ever led one lap here (for Williams in 2015) and has never qualified in the top three on this track.
- The only man to complete every racing lap and/or score in every race this season, Sebastian Vettel’s 13-race points/finishing streaks are now the longest current runs in F1.
- Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardio has never started in the top three on this track and only has one podium here (third in 2014).
- Force India’s Sergio Perez finished seventh in Austria, his best result of the year aside from his podium in Baku, but he has less than half the points that he had at this stage last season (50-23) and has failed to reach Q3 in a majority of races in 2018 (five out of nine).
- Sergey Sirotkin won from pole position at Silverstone in the 2015 GP2 (F2) Series, one of Sirotkin’s three career wins in the series. However, he is the only man in the championship without a point this season.
- Nico Hulkenberg has not been outqualified by a team mate at Silverstone since his rookie season in 2010, and his best-ever qualifying for Renault came at Silverstone last year when he started 5th.
- Carlos Sainz is the only man other than the Ferraris, Hamilton and Ricciardo to start every race in the top-10 this season, and has completed more racing laps this year (554) than anybody other than Vettel (558).
- Fastest in Q1 at Silverstone last year on a drying track, the only time a McLaren has led any session/segment at any time since Alonso rejoined the team at the start of 2015.
Triple header is best header.
Ouch…Torro Rosso with the 5 engines…
That’s Red Bull as well next year.
My old colleague/friend is going to Silverstone this weekend
He works for McLaren now btw.
Ask him where is our Merch discounts?
Hahaha do you really want Merch though?
Staff go in for free, so jelly.
They have a poll before every race to determine top 3. I always give him my guess(been wrong everytime so far, eventhough I predicted it correctly on my superbru once)
The winner gets a signed poster or something by Alonso, he said if he ever wins then he’ll send it my way.
Unluxky for Brendon, then to hear STR wanted him out. Off sides much?
I just want Alonso Merch That is all I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
Epic, brilliant battle between Merc and Ferrari! Really enjoyed the race.
I loved it, shouted myself hoarse in the first lap just to do it again with each restart and that final epic battle.
Hamilton needs to learn how to deal with disappointment, Kimi was my driver of the day - Im sorry but what Lewis did was nothing but expected, Kimi was the one that had the bigger fight on hand, and Kimi quote of the day was: “I’m not allowed to think anymore”
My heart broke for LeClerc, the the rest of the battles was rather boring.
