British GP 2017

After a race to forget for Lewis, F1 returns to Silverstone. Hamilton triumphed there last year in tricky conditions and I expect him to do the same this year; at least in qualifying. Bottas is expected to close a Mercedes 1-2 while the usual suspects (Vettel, Ricciardo, Kimi and Max) will follow in the next positions. It’ll be interesting to see if Stroll’s momentum carries on. Race predictions have been updated after the qualifying.

I believe Vettel will try to steal a front-row start from Bottas and I trully hope Verstappen’s luck turns his way and he gives us a great performance like last year. I’d bet that he’ll finally qualify and finish ahead of teammate Ricciardo. Let’s see the full predictions table:

  1. With most of predictions on qualification I agree. Maybe I disagree that Ricciardo will be better than Verstappen, so far Max was approx 0.5 sec quicker on practices.

  2. Yes, I agree. As I write above the predictions table, I think he will out-qualify his teammate. Also, Bottas got a 5-place grid penalty for a gearbox change so he’ll start further back.
