    Russell getting points for Williams seems like it's a matter of when rather than if seeing as he's improving week on week.


    Props to Williams team itself, car obviously getting faster as we go on.

    0.01 off Perez. I know Checo can go quicker but still

    Big messy numbers on the front noses of the ferraris look like they’ve been painted with a fat paint brush lol.

    Verstappen is not happy with the balance in his car.

    Well done George for getting ahead of the 2 Ferrari drivers for now at least.

    Hamilton went a bit sloppy at the last lap but he takes the pole for the sprint race tomorrow.

    Verstappen was very close though with 0.075 behind Hamilton.

    Why Red Bull didn’t give Max a tow like Hamilton was given I’m not sure.

    Even though his second run wasn't an improvement Hamilton was flying, he could have gone much faster but for the mistake. Verstappen had no answer for him

    I'd also be wondering why Perez is so far off the pace. Bottas is only a tenth and a half off pole but Perez is nowhere near even if he didn't lose his last lap.

    That performance from Bottas will fly under the radar. He was very quick.

    Let him have it. Its only a Sprint race anyway. 30mins lol that's nothing. It should have been an hour long.


    Well done to Lewis. Max not quiet 100 per cent this weekend.

    Well done to George Russell. He done great.

    Was a good session.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Looks like Mercedes have the pace this weekend alright, will max be tempted to race Hamilton for P1 tomorrow? Certainly gives it an interesting dynamic.

    Lewis's voicebox is not right there with the interview with DC.

    All this fawning is ridiculous. He had a car that had such a big advantage he could completely mess up and throw away 4 tenths and still get pole. Mercedes have always dominated at Silverstone, it’s much more of a car circuit than the run of unusual tracks we’ve had like Baku and Austria. Will be interesting to see what Verstappen and Red Bull can do with strategy to try and make a race of it.

    3 points for winning the sprint race too? Could be important come the end of the season.

    Why are you acting like there has been nothing different about this season?

    The Red Bull is at very least on par with the Mercedes all season at every track and you're continuing with this charade that Mercedes is still miles clear of everything else.

    George is delighted with that result while he spoke to DC on Channel 4.

    Every track?

    The 2nd half of the season should favour Mercedes even assuming they don't make developments. Which of course they have this weekend.

    Watching Russell and Chandhok analyse his lap just now and his style is so similar to Kimi in his pomp.

    Bottas is the third worst driver on the grid according to some posters. Lol.

    Yeah very good performance from Bottas. Perez was a full 6 tenths off his teammate. For reference, that's the same as the gap between Russell and Latifi and double the gap between Schumacher and Mazepin. Pretty embarrassing for Perez but not totally unexpected for him to be that far off his teammate.

    Cooler temps gave Merc that pace in qualy.

    Should be a close race (not the sprint), still favour RB to have the pace overall on Sunday.

    Cooler temps today? Temps were in the mid-high 20s today. Hottest day of the year in parts of England.


    If anything, the Mercedes prefer the hotter temps which helps them get heat into the tyres. So your overall point is probably true.

    I know I should wait til the weekend is finished, but I already don't like this experimental format. Maybe it would be better if Qualy and the sprint were on the same day, but it feels all very drawn out over 3 days and IMO suits the big teams.

    Yeah, qualy and the race is already a large time commitment. This all seems largely needless.
