Lewis unless Nico crashes into Lewis. Winner of the fight after, Lewis

Though I suspect it will be Lewis, I'm betting on Ricciardo this time. Ferrari seems to be nowhere this weekend.

Hamilton just seems to be so much quicker than Rosberg on this track that I don't think it will even be close. The 2 mercs seem to be so much quicker than any other car that they will check out almost immediately. Just with the naked eye one can see the G load as the mercs go left and right around this glorious circuit is so much more than the other cars that it translates to quicker lap times. The amount of grunt they have allows them to put on so much more downforce that the others have to feather off their cars and are not on rails. And the Mercs are 3 full seconds faster than they were last year.

RBR look good, but I think their race pace will not be as flattering as their qualifying suggests. Look for the Ferrari's to move up the pack during the race including Vettel who was satisfied with sitting P6 and not putting in a better lap time due to the 5 grid spot penalty. With him dropping to 11th for the start of the race, he's able to use whatever tires to start the race that he wants.

Naturally with Silverstone, if it rains, all bets are off.

Yawn. Lewis or Rosberg. Lather, rinse, repeat. The season started out with promise, now it is just a boring repeat of the last 2.

I'm afraid paradise is correct unless we get a repeat of Spain... we can only hope.


(the poll should read who do WANT to win, not who will. It won't happen, but I'd love for Jenson to make the podium)

Well it is England. I enjoy watching the car control these gentleman display in low traction and save situations. I don't think I have ever see as much yaw/slip angle and then recovery in a F1 car as Carlos Sainz recovered from.

Very fun race up and down the order. Will be interesting to see what FIA does after the race.
