Lewis in Silverstone.
I think that McLaren will be a dog to drive around silverstone. Not to mention, Kovy is damn fast around Silverstone.

That would be mega! i read an article (cant rememeber what or where) and it was about an old engineer. he said-words to the effect of - McLarens current engineers/designers are used to looking at mega effort for miniscule improvement, thats the way F1 has been recently; if they were from a previous era they would have a different mindset and the problem with the mclaren would be easily sorted. He intimated it was an easy fix and he intimated he had a pretty good idea what it was. COME ON MCLAREN- Think outside the box!!cap-dude wrote:Lewis in Silverstone.Yeh but thats two races time isn't it!I think that McLaren will be a dog to drive around silverstone.

look at what happened to toyota in two races
Bahrain - P1 Qualify
Spain - 6th
Monaco - Last
Ferrari
Bahrain 8th
Spain 4th
Monaco 2nd
Formula 1 continues to change race by race, Mclaren have updates for turkey and prob for silverstone who knows how effective they might be.
We keep hearing McLaren staff say "the car is good but theres just something small wrong with it" if they fix that then there's no reason why we can't see a win for Lewis in silverstone.
Although its looking increasingly unlikely i hope to see a few race wins from Mclaren this season even if he's not challenging for the title.
Longbow wrote:There seems to be a difference between the McLaren and Ferrari cases, though. The Ferrari just seemed to be a mediocre package that could have done with some work. Their early-season results were very much worse on paper than they should have been due to poor reliability and combinations of team/driver mistakes. Raikkonen could have scored a podium in Melbourne, Massa could have finished much higher up the grid if there hadn't been that qualifying mistake in Malaysia, he was running as high as third in China before the car hit problems and he should have had fourth in Spain rather than sixth. Similarly, Raikkonen has struggled with KERS all throughout the season so far and I can't think that better reliability may have helped him score a couple more points here and there.cap-dude wrote:Lewis in Silverstone.We keep hearing McLaren staff say "the car is good but theres just something small wrong with it" if they fix that then there's no reason why we can't see a win for Lewis in silverstone.I think that McLaren will be a dog to drive around silverstone.

Also think Webber will show well and one of the Ferrari's might get in the mix (the other one will have wrong tyres, bodged pitstop,no petrol, engine blow...or something like that)

Hanwombat wrote:Ditto Denthul, he is much harsher, he isn't going to get it, though it would be nice for him.I think it's not so much as Rubens being harsh on his tyres, but Jenson being having a smoother driving technique.

Kimi has done it! The youngest ever F1 champion. A[…]
