Time will tell. I'd bet though they will be backing Lewis for a podium.They're going to struggle at Silverstone. It's going to be a RB vs Merc showdown I reckon.
You gonna post this every day ?
Seems that way.The race is at 16:00, not 15:00?
Eish, age is catching up to me.
I recall a lot of moaning about Max's tactics like this and Max and his fans defending it as racing.pretty sure this isn't allowed... hasn't Max been given many penalties for doing this?

I guess he doesn't know he has a break peddle as well, no one is forcing him off... he is choosing to continue even though the racing line has been taken already by another car. Pretty dumb and fruitless tactic.He was forced off the track.![]()
See #2883pretty sure this isn't allowed... hasn't Max been given many penalties for doing this?

After the race, Hamilton said there was no way Verstappen was going to pass him around the outside of a high-speed corner like Turn 6.
"Well, he went off on the outside," Hamilton said. "You don't expect to go around the outside of a champion.
"I wouldn't expect to go around the outside of him there and hold the line.
"He was behind at the apex and therefore he should have backed out, but he didn't. I left just enough room for him."
Following his second place finish at Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix, Verstappen suggested Silverstone, which will host the British Grand Prix this weekend, could be one of the worst circuits yet.
"Silverstone, I love the track, but I did a few laps on the simulator and I just started laughing," Verstappen said. "It felt like a different track, to be honest. You barely have battery around the lap.
"It's just constantly flat [on the throttle]. So yes, it's going to feel very different compared to what we are used to around Silverstone, because of the layout of the track.
"Here [in Austria] you have long straights and big braking zones, so you can charge the battery. There you have long straights but in a fast corner, for example, so you can't really charge the batteries, and then the next straight you don't have a lot [of electrical energy] to spend.
"It's going to be a tough one."
