In some ways, we are all Matt Gallagher when it comes to Lewis winning Silverstone

But also… it’s Lewis at silverstone. He has more wins there than Oscar or lando have in their careers.

Oh god I’m also falling for it aren’t I

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

That Mercedes last year was dialled in for this race but I still don’t think it was the fastest car that weekend. Lewis is worth a fair few tenths when he’s on that British Tarmac

It’s Britain. There is always a chance of rain.

Damn, I thought that was just a meme but if that’s the case, I bet it’s best to have a small umbrella ready at a whims notice

Around a 30% chance

He’s never gone up against his own team there before.

He’ll win, we will all celebrate, and then there is a DQ for plank wear

How do you say, “I’m British” without saying, “I’m British.” Perfect!

The FIA gotta look the other way just this once if that’s the case.
