Just caught the last few mins of qualifying and what a time to turn it on.

British one, two, three
What? Where were you? You missed a great session.

Proud to be British for once!

I’d settle for three Brits on the podium. But somehow I think Max with a repaired floor and the weather will have a big say in how it ends up.

Impressive drive by George indeed. Very happy to see him P1. Both Mercedes were impressive from Q1 to Q3. While they have substantial Circuit Specific Upgrades one has to be impressed considering where they were at Round 2.

Cant help wondering what Lewis’ thoughts are at this point? Mercedes could be potent in 2025.

It was interesting to see Adrian seated next to Horner today. I was under the impression he was sailing in the Pacific?

Maybe he dropped anchor for a bit!

This 50 grid drop is really tedious, the solution is a mandatory drive through within 5 laps of the start, or 30 seconds added to the end of the race, but this drop back 50 places in a 20 car grid, on a good weekend we have 19 on the grid and one or more pit lane..

Result! I did my gardening duties this morning so I'm free anyway.

The question is will it be wet or dry (or most likely both!).

Typical dreadful British summer weather put an end to our plans for going out. Did all the chores early too so managed to have a rare Sunday afternoon chill. Hopefully a mixed race for weather, makes it more exciting especially at the second best track on the calendar.

I’ll be happy with a Lando, Lewis or George win, just need Verstappen to be held up or pushed into a mistake for that to happen.

Max has a new floor. Luckily they had a spare. If they hadn't would they have taken the one from Perez car?

I’d love to see Lewis win a race after so long but really want Norris to win his home race. The last 15 laps might be interesting as the rain stops and the track starts to dry. Could be anybody’s including Verstappen.
