F1 round two at Silverstone...Spoiler Alerts!

coolcat · 8th August 2020, 12:55

A week on since the dramatic end to the British Grand Prix and we find ourselves at Silverstone once more.

The Mercs are looking in a league of their own again......Qualifying 1st and 2nd looking very likely.

Will the tyres have an impact on the race though?
Will Mercedes turn the wick down on their pace to preserve tyre life?
If so will the other teams throw caution to the wind and push their pace harder?

These and many other questions will be answered over the weekend!

Oh......... don't forget that the BTCC from Brands Hatch is also on

Let's hope hulkenberg gets at least a podium, it may be his last chance, although this could be a show card for.him for.next year.

As far as the race goes, if bottas gets the lead, I wonder if Hamilton will race him or hold.formation? Bottas has supported hamilton enough in the past to expect some support.

Watching Nascar at Road America right now, those big daft cars running in the rain, highly entertaining

It's a road course btw, not an Oval

Much better than boring F1

What is it with Pirelli? They know the circuits, the stress factors, the race time and distance, and just about everything else. There are no surprises and drivers only push to the full when they have to. You would have thought...
However, it was rather nice to see Mr Bottas up there. And Lewis equals Shu's total!

I would just love to see Verstappen and Hamilton in equal cars for a season.
Fair play to Hamilton in getting the job done on Bottas, Bottas must wonder what he has to do to beat him.

Certainly made for a lively end to the race again.
