    Feels weird being in a new thread. The British GP thread has become like home.

    Yes, ever since Hamilton “ruined his career” (Marko).

    I can't see why. I'm sure the 2019 Red Bull on different tyres, with a different driver, is exactly the same as the 2021 Mercedes driven by a 7 time world champion.

    Oh, wait...

    A gnats ass between the front runners- bodes well for fireworks!! Definitely can see one of them pushed wide on is it T13 (the curve where people try to overtake on the outside)?

    Cant read the rest of the midfield- I thought Ferrari would be mighty here but they haven’t been good in FP2. Alpine better in these twistier circuits so might see Alonso and Ocon pump in a P6 if McLaren and Ferrari don’t hook it up.

    Turns out Verstappens engine is fine after the crash that so nearly took his life after Hamilton torpedoed him 110% on purpose.

    So that saves a few dollars and grid penalties.

    If Mercedes win they mustn’t celebrate in case the engine that suffered 51g and went to hospital is sad.

    FP2 looked strong for Merc. Would love to go into the summer break with Lewis and Max even on points.

    Even if Merc out-qualify RBR, Max has been taking off like a rat up a drainpipe lately. But, that could be more first lap fireworks.

    Hang on to your keyboards folks!!!

    Hoping that Lewis wins this after all the crap of the past couple of weeks. Thinking he will too, as he's mighty round here.

    Fully agree, I'd started to warm to Max who is undoubtedly a superb driver, but the self entitled brat still lurks just beneath the surface. Very interesting how general opinion has shifted over the last couple of weeks due to the way each team has handled the situation, I thought Lewis and Merc defused the situation really well with a generally much more considered response to the incident.

    Must admit I still want it to go down to the wire , but I so want MB to win both championships. RBR have left a nasty feeling .

    RBR will win both though :(

    If Hamilton wins the championship by less than the 25 points he got in Silverstone we’ll never hear the end of it.
