I lost a little respect for RBR with this one. Filing this appeal on the penalty was a beta move. They were right to be upset about how things transpired, but they said their peace and the punishment was doled out. The appeal was a step too far. Take your lumps then come back and beat their arse on Sunday. They have the better car.

Will RBR stop him??


There wasn't much at Silverstone that made me think Merc had jumped ahead of RBR. Max had race setup on for quali which explains the small lack of pace. If Max doesn't crash I didn't see Lewis getting past.

If Checo shits the bed again in quali Merc may have a chance at a strategy win.

I don’t expect Max to perform as well. I expect he’ll be slower.

And that’s just me, thinking about how I was after getting smashed up playing Lacrosse. I just find it hard to believe that he isn’t injured.

That is a solid point. I'm might missing an incident, but I don't remember him being in a significant incident much less something like this.

Seb and Danny Ric hitting him from behind are the two that come to mind.

Not sure which engine he is running either. They allegedly tried out the Silverstone engine today in Q2 so I guess it looks good. If not they may revert to the 1st engine which was down on power already.

Those guys wouldn’t be where they are if they any hesitation about being injured. Max will be in top form,

I believe the crash will impair his physical performance.

Unfortunately I think Hamilton’s got this. I hope I’m wrong but RBR is looking over their shoulders now. Not a good place to be with a potentially injured main driver and weak teammate.

Me too. Hamilton P1 in FP3 and Qualifying coming up in 1 hour... Should be interesting.

I hope Verstappen is enough of a sociopath to not be deterred by the Silverstone wreck

I’m not worried about Max, but I am worried about Checo. Not a good Q1.

Well q2 was interesting. Lots of teams on the softs. Hopefully they shake it up in q3.

May make the start of the race interesting.

Odds RBR tries to re-summon Gasly over the summer break?

Not likely. Lots of smoke coming out about him trying to move to mclaren.

I figured there’s no way he buys in with how they treated him

Just seems on brand for them to continue with the revolving door for 2nd driver

Mind games of a different level played there. Perez missing the cut.
