The British Grand Prix, the pride of the Formula 1 calendar for many teams as it represents their home race and the heart of their fan base. Built in 1942 as a Royal Air Force bomber station, Silverstone’s three original runways now hold some of F1’s most famous features: the Hangar Straight, Abbey, Copse, Maggots and Becketts making it a genuine drivers’ favorite and one of the most challenging circuits for car setup because the combination of straights and turns demand both low drag and high downforce.
Red Bull arrive at Silverstone with high confidence in their car and in Max Verstappen given his utter domination so far this season. On the other side of the garage things are less clear with Sergio Perez given recent results. Does his first podium in months last weekend signal a return to form? Look for Max to take the win and for Sergio to finish in the top four. AlphaTauri should be set up to have one car in the points but probably not both.
Elsewhere on the grid, look for this to be a general ranking of team performance coming into the race weekend:
1. Red Bull
2. Ferrari
3. Aston Martin
4. Mercedes
5. Alpine
6. McLaren
7. Williams
8. AlphaTauri
9. Haas
10. Alfa Romeo
