How do you see this one going guys?
Will it be Vettel leading the pack again or can someone else step up the plate at Silverstone and start putting his championship lead under pressure?

it suits red bull down to the ground silverstone so it should be a seb or mark win but there are rumors that it may rain most the weekend.

i voted who i WANT to win, not who will win. I hope Vettel doesnt win though.

Bonjourno!

With the blown diffuser blown away, the finger will have his title blown out of his hands as the Matedor will ride his Prancing Horse to victory in the race at Silverstone!

Fernando will bring a glourious sea of Red and Yellow to the proceedings of Silverstone! I believe in you Fernando!

Forza Alonso!

@Alessandro: if you've seen any recent F1 races at Silverstone, you'll know the red and silver of McLaren are the dominant colours.

This is more optimism than real expectation, but I think Red Bull will suffer more than most, without their exhaust-blown diffuser. That, coupled with the cooler conditions, should give McLaren just enough of an edge to bring home the silverware. If it stays dry, Hamilton will win. If the weather is wet or changeable, I expect Button will come out on top (and that The Most Complete Driver On The Grid will, at some point, get acquainted with the barriers ).

Unfortunately I see another Vettel win. Newey will find a way around the ban. They did it with the flexi wings and will do it with the diffuser

dyrewolfe - really?? you think if its wet button will come out on top of hamilton. I would say hamilton is better in the wet. But you're entitled to your opinion of couse.

Well, Hamilton has shown he can drive in the wet, but I based my opinion on his current form, which has been patchy to say the least.

Just my gut feeling right now. I might change my mind after practice and quali.

ABHoV - Anyone but Hamilton or Vettel

Hopefully Alonso or Button

Button paah haha.

It will be either Vettel, webber, Lewis or Alonso on the front row. Button will end up 5th or 6th, you watch tomorrow

Hate to say this, but Renault engine powered team are allowed to have a 50% of the throttle open compared to the 10% of everyone else. I can't see any but a Red Bull win.

Light rain in the pits, heavy rain at Stowe!

Bonjourno!

I have correctly predicted the out come of the race held in beautiful Silverstone!

Truly, I have predicted the outcome of the race and they have also made predictions for the rest of the season. Vetted beware, the great one is coming for WDC number 3!!!!

Forza Alonso!!!!!

You say Alonso every race mate. I like your optimism, but i fear normal service will resume from now on seen as the blown diffuser has been reinstroduced

you really think after sunday ferrari will agree to sign that deal and they were still waiting for a few teams to sign it according to a couple of the teams managers bernie said all signed , domenicalli said 2 to sign horner said 1 , so i don't think its over with yet.

i dont expect Ferrari to sign it. they'll do what they want as per usual. I expect other teams to sign it though.

if that happens it'll be staying as it need all teams to agree id rather no one signed it was more entertain and closer yesterday

So do i. But to ban something half way through a season is daft. Plus why arent they banning the flexi wing. THey must see that their own tests are sufficent. In fact i dont give a hoot what the test shows. You can clearly see on the tv during the race its almost touching the floor.

well during it's tests the wing won't move cos the car isn't moving so it's not going to pick up on it

Exactly. So the test is void. The real test is how it performs on the track, they should be looking there.

Anyway, i guess thats an old topic now.
