Hope for McLaren

I'm probably clutching at straws but the choice of the hard and soft tyres for Silverstone gives McLaren an edge over Ferrari. This is the same set of tyres as China which went well for McLaren. If the weather is also overcast or cool then this would help McLaren even more as they seem to heat up tyres in no time compared to competitors.

Sorry but Redbull will abseloutely dominate Silverstone. It fits the car's characteristics perfectly.

Yup, RedBull will dominate this race, signalling the end of the championship.

Luckily we've still got motogp and superbikes

Think I have to agree with Monty.

I would have said otherwise until Whitmarsh's comment about the off-throttle diffuser ban affecting McLaren as well.

However, I'm still clutching at the thin straw that Martin was feeding a bit of misinformation to the other teams.

That said, the cooler conditions will help McLaren, at least as far as tyre wear / grip is concerned. If nothing else, they should just have the edge over the Ferraris. Still think they'll be fighting over 2nd place with Webber though.

I don't think there is another track that suits the RBR more than Silverstone. Mr Vettel will probably lap the whole field by the end of it. Still, if it's a wet/dry race with changing conditions we may be treated to a Button special.

Really hope Vettel doesnt get pole. Even if it was the other RB of Webber that got it. Though thats unlikely to happen.
