Well let's see what Mercedes' upgrade brings them at Silverstone. I don't think Mercedes or Ferrari will bother Red Bull but they both seem to have passed Aston.

We're pretty much back to the 2nd half of 2022 in terms of gap to Red Bull. :francis:

Ferrari have, I don't think Mercedes has yet, at least not enough for comfort. And if that McLaren pace is representative then that's going to be an issue. The setup wasn't great for the race but that can't be an excuse anymore.

I was surprised at McLaren but Lando is like Lewis at Hungary, he just gets a random performance boost there. He's been insanely quick there every year.

Good chance they'll fall back a little at a big track like Silverstone.

Max pitting,weaving to warm his tires and charging his battery while Leclerc is 3 seconds behind him going hard as hell is hilarious:dead:

He treated the last 2 laps like it was a practice session :mjlol:

Max in his bag,give him the trophy now .

Write this year off. Hopefully Merc is going to focus its attention on the '24 car going forward.

They need to keep developing this year's car so they can at least be in the orbit of the other front runners. If not they are playing catch up again in 2024. If they are 2 tenths off by the end of the year they stand a good chance next year, but they have to develop this year.

Perez might as well walk back to Mexico when he gets out of the car. Dude is done. Lewis called out Max for overtaking under double waved yellows for Bottas car. We'll see if anything comes of that.
