What just Happened ?

I don’t think anybody expected a double Mercedes retirement last time out, the first since 1955 but after dominating the entire weekend, a Mercedes double DNF saw Sebastian Vettel reclaim the lead in the Drivers Championship by a single point over rival Lewis Hamilton.

It’s Coming Home

Yep, F1 returns home this weekend for the 10th race of a fascinating season. The Silverstone circuit straddling the Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire borders is the home of British Motor Racing having hosted the very first Formula race in 1950.

How’s the Weather ?

The British weather has been going through a bit of a dry spell of late and it should be no different this race weekend with temperatures expected to be warmer than average. However, wind direction is expected to change over the coming days which might effect car setup during practice and qualifying.

What to Expect

Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes are again quickest after practice 1 with Sebastian Vettel half a second down on his rival. Despite a heavy crash after failing to disengage DRS, Romain Grosjean was 7th quickest and will be looking for another strong finish this weekend. Romain has been involved in a number of high profile incidents this year, so a good showing may force Haas in to a rethink when it comes to contract negotiations at the end of the season.

Both Force Indias complete the top 10 with the embattled Mclaren and Renault teams struggling at the back of the field.

Barring reliability issues, we expect the Mercedes to be strong this weekend closely followed by the Ferrari and Red Bull cars with the midfield being contested by Haas, Force India and Sauber.
