    Mclaren fan, like Piastri and Lando, but I hope it's wet on Sunday.

    Would make some good racing but I think the forecast is dry. Be interesting to see if the cooler weather helps Mercedes, not that I want them to win.
    Come on Lando!

    It's a lot cooler/rainy today - the Ferrari's have been set up with low downforce, so if it rains today/tomorrow and they don't change that setup they could fall back a bit. Cooler weather might bring the Mercedes back into play too...

    Super close again. Could have potentially been any of 6 drivers on pole today!

    Lewis has more wins just at Silverstone that Charles has actual F1 race wins

    Leclerc and Russell are both 25-1 to win today. Those are insanely long odds.

    And he’s also had way, way, way better cars over his career. This isn’t putting Lewis down. Just saying that those odds for Leclerc and Russell are unusually generous (particularly on an each way).

    Odds are calculated on how much money goes down.

    Why on earth do they need leading off by the safety car, for the formation lap, ridiculous.

    I'd change to slicks now that 2nd VSC has come out.
    Actually, seeing that rain in the background, maybe not.

    Stroll now on slicks, so he’ll crash out as soon as he hits the damp part of the track.

    He's nowhere near as bad as people make out, he'll never be great, just an average F1 mid-field driver.
