Can Hamilton and Merc bounce back?

Mercedes came away f🍬rom Austria with their worst result since the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.

Austria has 🐎typically been a bit of a bogey circuit for Mercedes over the years, mainly due to how their power unit performs at high altitude, combined with it being one of Hamilton’s weaker circuits - by his own high standards.

Conversely, Mercedes have been unstoppable over the years at Silverstone, winning all 💞but two races on British soil between 2013 and 2021.

Hamilton has a remarkable eight wins at the British venue, his last coming in 2021 after colliding with title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen on the opening lap.

Mercedes are expected to bring a signifi🌳cant upgrade to the Brܫitish GP as they look to continue their good momentum - Austria aside.

They still sit second i🐲n tওhe constructors’ championship, a few points ahead of Aston Martin.

An upꦛgraded Mercedes, at a circuit Hamilton has thrived at over the yearꦿs - they should be in for a good weekend.

Records for Red Bull

Red Bull continued their unstop🐼pable form at the Austrian Grand Pri♔x, taking their ninth consecutive victory of the season.

It means Red Bull has n♛ow won 10 races 🙈in a row - stretching back to last year - making it a record for the team.

The last time they won nine straight races in a year was back in 2013 with Sebastian Vettel - so Silverstone cꦉould be another record for the Milton Keynes outfit.

McLaren currently hold the record for consecutivಌe wins - 11 back in 1988.

Red Bull are very likely to equal it this🔴 ꦫweekend provided there’s no reliability issues.

Fantastic Lando

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris put in anotherꦕ spectacular display at 𓆏the Red Bull Ring to come home fourth.

While he did have the McLaren upgrades - and teammate Oscar Piastri didn’t - Norris deserves ꦅan immense amount of credit for his performance.

While many rightfully say that Hamilton is still F1’s top Brit, given he is a seve✱n-time world champion with over 100 wins to his name, Norris’ performances since the start of 2021 certainly put him in that conversation.

Naturally, the statistics don’t back it up given he’s spent his whole career in midfield machinery, however, he consistently gets the most out of the McLaren, destroying highly-rated teammates like 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo in the process.

Silverstone will be a key test of McLaren’s new upgrade, particularly as Austria probably was more down to some more Norris magic - it i♊s one of his strongest circuits after all.

Track limits 

After the dr꧅ama in Austria, track limits are likely going to be a lively talking point at Silverstone this weekend.

There were over 1200 potential infringements for the FIA to look at during Sunday’s 71-la𝔍p race so it was🔴 no surprise there were delays in the penalties being handed out.

Still, it looked amateur o𒀰n the FIA’s part and for the sport as a whole for the final result to be finalised five hours after the chequered flag.

Typically, Silverstone isn’t too difficult for track limit but it’s going to rear it🌊s head at some point I am sure.
