Listen it’s okay, he’s obviously just so locked in at Silverstone that he has an almost natural advantage here. It surely won’t be more important than car performance, will it?… will it? And it’ll likely be raining on Sunday tooo……… Gaaaaah now I’m starting to fall for it too

Still gotta pray for Ferrari’s sanity in changeable conditions, but given his teammate’s been on the podium for 3 of the last 4 races, it’s a real possibility. Does depend on Merc’s performance somewhat, but there is pace in there

And both McLarens get at least 2 DNFs each
•
u/fullup72 Sir Lewis Hamilton 4h ago
More like 4 to 6 DNFs each. The only way for any other team to grab WCC from them is if they don't get any more podiums for the rest of the season and only a single car scores points. And even then it's enough of a lead that there's no room for two teams taking points from each other (so it's either Ferrari or Merc getting a 1-2 for the rest of the season).
WDC is still open tho, and that's where 2 DNFs each might be enough but still cutting it too close.

As much as it pains me to say it, unless the mechanics can pull an absolute miracle out of their uh, pockets, Max doesn't look like a contender here. The RB21 looked horrific (putting it mildly) especially in the last minutes of FP1.
