Early, but that McLaren pace looks real at the moment.

Max will get him with DRS
McLaren race pace is there
Verstappen had few slow starts this year, that's the only thing he/Red Bull are bad at this year.
I thought it was great, if Lando heard anything from the car.

Unfortunately Max will get him soon shame Piastri couldn't cling to Max
No chance sadly.
FFS Max takes the lead with ease.
fecking DRS

Poor line there Lando tbh
Does everyone not get drs
The do yes
Red Bull have got theirs working far more efficiently than everyone else
Shut up George
So is it not a level playing field? This is a genuine question, I rarely watch
Ta thanks, couldn't work out why it was drs' fault
7th lap already, that flew by.
Russel will ruin his softs staying behind Leclerc. Mercedes looks fast.

Thought there may be team orders at McLaren
If they have taken a step forward predictions are going to be even harder, Max aside!

You get DRS if you are within 1 second of the car ahead at certain points in track so Lando didn’t have DRS whilst Max did.
To me Lando didn’t fight much, Max has a much faster car especially with the DRS.
In theory yes, Red Bulls DRS works much better, I just don’t like it, should get rid of it.
McLaren seem to be hanging in there with Max, looks likes genuine pace.
I was not blaming DRS , I just don’t think it’s needed.
Are Sky using canned crowd cheering when a british driver makes an overtake?
Maybe the solution would be to only have DRS at hard to overtake tracks? The sprint last week was fantastic and there was no DRS until the end was there?
I think they know the goal is a double podium, no point in wasting tyres fighting with Max.
Wind is causing problems.
Lewis is reporting gusts of 35 knots

Just about tire management now until end of the race, but their pace looks good.
They might be boosting the levels but it's genuinely a great atmosphere at Silverstone.
No, it's pretty loud there.
The wind gusts might be tricky to handle ones the tyres start to degrade.
Ocon out , no idea why.
no. we just have the best fans. the dutch ones just let off “just stop oil” flares and compare how tall they are.
Glad I omitted Ocon from my top 10 usually he's in it
As a McLaren fan, last thing I want is rain Not again
Not againOoh rain?
Same here
As a McLaren fan, last thing I want is rain
I'm torn, it's so much more entertaining when wet, but I want McLaren to do well! Maybe Max can go straight on this time as he'll be first to hit it
ETA boo no rain?
No need, it happens on every track with home drivers. Austria was also very loud with so many Dutch fans, and I reckon British drivers will have even more fans in Silverstone.
Russel would like some rain with softs.
This is cracking from McLaren I had doubts if they had race pace, but they clearly they have.
Why did Stroll just move over for Perez like he was getting blue flagged FFS. It's so irritating how no one tries challenging him, allowing him to move effortlessly through the field. I know his car is way better but even so make him work for it
How's it fair one does and one doesn't have it?
