Hopefully Kimi has one of his poor starts and Lewis and Charles can jump him, with Lewis leading. Then Charles can hold up Kimi while Lewis builds a cushion....

Ferrari has to bring good engine in ADUO 2. Only then they have slight chance otherwise Mercedes will runaway with Championship.

Ferrari were never gonna completely catch up on the power unit within a single in-season.

The championship was never on. People seriously have gotten ludicrously carried away with Lewis' win in Barcelona, mostly due to going with the best strategy.

To get anywhere near the front row (let alone on it in both quali sessions) has to be a big, positive surprise. It’s unlikely we win the race but we’re in a good position to capitalise if anything odd happens or if for some reason tyre degradation plays into our favour on longer runs.

It really bodes well for other tracks like Hungaroring and Zandvoort though. Obviously Mercedes will bring updates but for now the car looks really strong. It’s not that many races until Monza and so if we can win a race or two and get on the podium regularly in the meantime, we’ll still be in reasonable shape by the time ADUO 2 shows up.

Forza Ferrari! Good to Charles back today as well - he out qualified Lewis in Austria too, let’s not forget, but more importantly today he said he actually had the feeling again, which is great.

No, he was lucky for too long.

Now the teams have had a third of a season (and a month of no racing) to sort out their starts they should bin the pre-start nonsense.

HAM absolutely nailed it. I am one of the 'HAM is washed' group I admit, but even in the venturi tunnel era, HAM was always great at silverstone. This is his signature track.

Yeah, he had an upperhand here on Button, Rosberg and Bottas but you´re wrong about the GE era. He only outqualified Russell on 2022, which was wet. On 2023 and 2024, Russell outqualified here on dry conditions. Last year, it was one of the few QLFs in which he was faster than Lec, eventhough it was by only 0.026s.

Getting beaten by Shal by almost 2 tenths on one of his strongest tracks must have been devastating to him and some of his fans, especially after the phony qualifying giving hopes and dreams for the real one.

Shal is struggling with the car, I guess Hamilton will outrace him tomorrow. If he doesn´t it could hurt his confidence even more after this QLF

Great job once again both outperforming the car by outqualifying a Mercedes rocketship they just need power and they would be locking out the front row.

Good step from Charles, much needed, but impressive to outqualify Lewis on what might be his best track. Good job splitting the Mercedes, and hopefully the race pace allows both drivers to give Kimi a scare.

Not too impressive, though, maybe in the current context of Lec struggling overall but Russell outqualified Hamiltons at the 2 dry QLFs they drove as team mates which links to the first quoted post from the user "matt". Mercedes doesn´t seem to be that monster in QLF around Silverstone, it seems it was more down to Antonelli as Hamilton could not be faster than Russell with equal machinery but this time he could. Going by historical data, it seems Ferrari was faster in QLF this time around but Andrea seems to be quicker than Ferrari drivers
