While placing my bet I was thinking the exactly same thing as you famososMuertos!
So I decided to take the bet that made the most sense to me:

It went as high as 5.25 after the qualifying and still at 4.5 right now, really bad odds for Mercedes and Ferrari tells me they don't see anyone as a real threat to the podium.I'm looking for some low-odd bets like against both Red Bulls in points and them having the fastest pit stop assuming it will be tactical to the end.
Speaking of low odds, when Ferari has the same odds on no for both pilots on the podium as Williams and Aston Martin....

20 minutes left to see if I should give Tsunoda a chance on top 10 at 4.5 or take Stroll over Alonso in h2h at 2.8
But meh....the euro is taking all my wind from betting on f1.

Piastri is the bad guy this weekend from getting a grid penalty that took him out of starting 3rd to 7th at the start of the race.
Then he caused Leclerc's front wing damage from the very first turn. Enough so forcing him to pitstop in need of a replacement which took him near the bottom of the race where Sargent is.
All race the leader Verstappen, Norris and Russell haven't budged.

Just strange not seeing that Dutch sea of smoke in the air above the grand stands.
It really made a synonymous atmosphere for a Max Win!

[Koal-84]

If everything had gone well for me with my tips, and then Verstappen and Norris cause an unnecessary collision while leading, even if only Verstappen benefits from the collision, it was completely unnecessary. But that's how Russel gets his second Grand Prix win.

[emrecemsan]

What a race we have left behind!    I agree that it was such an unnecessary kind of touch. Norris and Verstappen both were at fault there.

Norris pushed his luck too hard and Verstappen tried a very late defending move. Verstappen absolutely deserved that penalty as it was dangerous driving. It is funny that both of them had a blowout after this tough challenge.

I'm announcing Russell as the luckiest driver of the day.    He got the win chance served on silver platter for himself and he didn't turn it down. Lastly poor Leclerc... His race finished after the touch with Piastri.

This result only helped Verstappen to get away more as it can be seen down below.

It was completely unnecessary also Verstappen was seen at fault by everyone hence receiving a 10 second penalty for the collision.
There was several laps left of the race when the incident happened on lap 64. So he could of just easily let Norris go and just catch up on the final laps to take first place.
But he was aggressive and many are comparing this incident to when Verstappen and Leclerc had this happen to them back in 2021. Believe it happened in 2019 too.

Here is a video of when it all occurred:

What can we expect? They are both very competitive (they all are) but especially if you are trying to win a championship title. I do think that Verstappen does deserve the penalty but that is what happens when you are unyielding. Which to me is just a result of having a winner mentality.

There was several laps left of the race when the incident happened on lap 64. So he could of just easily let Norris go and just catch up on the final laps to take first place.

He says in an interview that “I could also just go home” when asked about why didn’t he just let Norris through. Honestly I am just very entertained. We now have 5 different race winners from four different constructors and we are only half through the season.

Excited how this will move forward!

We are BACK!

Franco Colapinto is gonna drive in the FP1 in the Williams car.



Very nice to see an Argentinian after so many years having the chance of drive a f1 i hope he can continue with good results and see him in the top category in the next years. Fangio, Reuteman, Froilan Gonzalez,Traverso are happy in the sky and some others more.


Ps: Very shit behavior by a lot of teams the other day was the aniversary of Fangio deaths and they dont post anything to the "father" of the competition.

For me, it was a racing accident that was unnecessary for both of them in my view. With a little patience, Norris could probably have got very close to Verstappen on the straight after that hairy corner and only tried to overtake on the next one. In any case, the collision did Norris more harm than Verstappen, that's definitely a fact for me.

Back to Silverstone in this race weekend for the British Grand Prix.

Don't think any love is lost from Norris and Verstappen as after just watching this video about it Lando posted it was an amateur move on his part:

Let's look at Silverstone circuit now, shall we? 


_{Source: https://x.com/FDataAnalysis/status/1808464045210554551}

Grip is really strong on this track. You know Red Bull has had some balance problems in the car and had serious issues on tracks with low grip.

However there is a big threat from now on even if we see Verstappen strong this weekend. It is Norris.    I expect the big challenge to continue from where it left and in an even more heated way.

Silverstone is a very important place for Norris as he is British. He would like to push the limits to the end to bring the win home. What do you think about Copse? Do you expect an accident there? I wouldn't be surprised to see it.

Can see Red Bull's having issues with this track aswell emrecemsan!
It does seem that Verstappen keeps complaining over the radio to his team on the track with mechanical issues every race near the end. Maybe he is just nitpicking but it does seem to be something of concern.
Could just be normal wear and tear on the car since it is mostly during the last ten laps or so.

Time for the British Grand Prix are from the official F1 page below and kicks off around this time tomorrow:

I hope so.    I really want to see Norris getting what he deserves. In the previous race he totally deserved the win by a great performance. But Verstappen literally pushed him out of the race...

It doesn't feel like nitpicking to me either because we really witness him having issues. Norris closed the gap many times thanks to Red Bull's recent problems. Red Bull made a really rare mistake with Verstappen there as well though. That pit stop time must have felt Verstappen like a year rather than seconds. I don't think this will happen again this week though. No matter what, I believe Norris has a fast enough car to fight for the win on Silverstone.

I could actually see RedBull having issues here but we might be in for a surprise with Perez actually catching a podium because if he continues to score low points , he will be a liability for his team to win Constructor championship and Max cannot do it alone no matter how hard he tries. I can also see Aston Martin having a great race here with both cars even if the development of their car actually slowed down a lot in the last races without scoring important points...

Norris is looking like he should and deserves too on McLaren's and his home track at Silverstone so far.
Taking the two practice sessions at good timings:

@boltz
No mention of Norris or even McLaren during your mention of this weekend drivers and teams making good pace.
Would like to see Norris grab this track and at the current odds sitting at @2.75x why not?

[Koal-84]

I think this week Norris is the favourite for pole position and the race win for the first time, I've already placed my bets on Superbru and qualifying will start soon. Verstappen will have a very tough time this weekend, I don't think he will dominate at Silverstone.

Excellent assumption Koal-84!
The Dutchman was fifth in this latest session and qualifying is up next!

Looks like it was an all England Practice 3 session with the top 3 being Englishmen at the British Grand Prix!

Now if they just advance in the Euro in the early match today then it will setup for a spectacular weekend in sports for the Brits.

[emrecemsan]

And we have a top 3 full of British drivers by the end of qualifying! 


_{Source: https://x.com/F1/status/1809609895379104207}

What an amazing result for British people without a doubt. As of the end of Q1 it could already be predicted that Mercedes would have a good result. However this was more than I and probably anyone expected to tell the truth.

Another pole for Russell? He is one of the drivers with the highest form recently.    He feels really satisfied with the car and he is just showing what he can do with a fast car.

Norris couldn't make use of his last chance well. Verstappen looked like he was having concentration issues. He made 2 simple mistakes which caused him to take only the 4th place at the end. The start tomorrow is going to be lovely, I can feel it. 

[Volgastallion]

Seems like the UK soil do wonders for the UK guys.

I dont know what is happening on Ferrari backwards, but man being surprased by a HAAS has to be very embarrassing. One alst thing, Checo Perez do you really extend your contract?

[rdbase]

British Grand Prix is just around the corner and between the three top drivers it is a coin flip of who will come out on top. As you can see Verstappen and Norris are exactly the same odds:


I am thinking Lewis Hamilton could take it and the @5.00x hadn't changed since I was looking at those odds for the winners market right after qualifying.
Verstappen was a slight favorite @2.95x while Norris was a solid @3.00x.
Race pole position setter Russell was @4.25x but has risen abit since.

Only 30 minutes left! A really interesting start is waiting for us.    Verstappen will look for hunting down at least one driver there. I hope Norris doesn't get overtaken by him already. I feel like Russell - Hamilton will come side by side and one of them will lose a place there already.

Hamilton said that they were going to do their best to keep Norris behind but he didn't say who will do that job.    I expect an attack by him for sure if Russell doesn't have a good start.



It is 2.90 for NOR - VER now. I'm supporting Norris here but I believe it is sensible to give Mercedes drivers a chance too. Because a really heated race is waiting for us.
