Great Britain
There’s no way Lando will overtake Max at the start. LANDO OVERTOOK MAX AT THE START!!
Max overtakes Lando. There’s no way Lando will keep up with Max. LANDO IS KEEPING UP WITH MAX!!
K-Mag is on fire, literally. Random reshuffle and now Lewis is P3. Max wins but it feels like Lando anyway.
The F2 drivers had all been very busy since the last race a few weeks ago. Jehan Daruvala and Olli Caldwell made their dreams come true, testing for McLaren and Alpine Formula 1 teams, while Jüri Vips made sure he wouldn’t be getting any F1 testing by outing himself as being racist and subsequently getting fired from his Red Bull reserve driver role. Rather than also firing him, Vips’s F2 team Hitech decided he could stay, but probably only because super-sub David Beckmann was already busy, replacing Amaury Cordeel who is serving a one-weekend ban, having racked up all the penalty points by being a bit too rubbish at driving…
F2 is back at Silverstone and it’s been so long since the last round that Théo Pourchaire’s hand, which he broke during the Feature Race in Azerbaijan, has pretty much healed and he was cleared to race. Jüri Vips said the long break had been boring, with just “sim and gym,” whereas Robert Shwartzman said he had been really busy with “sim and gym.” I guess Red Bull’s Milton Keynes sim and gym isn’t as inspiring as Ferrari and Maranello for some reason…
While all the F2 drivers clambered for Racing Point’s attention and an opportunity to jump in COVID-stricken Perez’s F1 seat, Racing Point were like “no thanks, we’ll take Hulkenberg instead,” so they were all stuck driving in F2 as usual. Better luck flexing that Super Licence next time Louis Delétraz…
Vital to note this weekend, was the ongoing saga of the Silverstone resurfacing. Important questions were asked, such as, just how will it rubber in, how slippery is it really offline, and will anyone ever be happy with it?
