Negative.

Being Silverstone I'd love to see Webber get up on Seb for one of his Dominant weekends. Would do him the world of good

Front limited circuit me thinks, so RB domination unlikely to say the least.

I know, but my gut feeling says we are in for a Red Bull victory. They have won there in 2010 and 2012 and always had a car on the podium. Webber has been pretty strong here too plus Seb who always has been competitive.

The upgraded RB9 looked awesome in Canada, i think they have a good shot even if Silverstone doesn't play to their strengths.

Alonso and Vettel are the favorites and since this is one of Webber better tracks he might have a say in it too.

I think Ferrari will be very strong, in fact right now you could say Ferrari and Red Bull have the fastest race cars with Ferrari having a slight edge. As for weather, It's England it's one of the most impossible places to predict, but it will rain. If it doesn't rain at least one day it wouldn't be right, let's just hope Vettel doesn't end up on pole again.

Expect a strong run from Mercedes. It looks like their upgrades for Canada have almost brought their tire temperatures down enough. With the new tires dropping the temperatures down a further ten degrees, we could very likely see some significant improvements on track.

I´m guessing the usual now that we are back to more "normal" tracks if you can say that.
Merc and Red Bull will have a dogfight for pole,
Ferrari, especially Alonso will ultimately come out on top in the race,
Mercedes might actually be in better shape then Red Bull here, or a little bit more equalized in the races due to it being more of a front limited track.
Maybe another podium is realistic for Merc yet again.

Btw, it´s not summer break now is it? 18 days??? crazy..

A blind bet from my side. Alonso will have another disastrous weekend considering the pattern of his performances till now. :lol:

I think both Red Bulls will be on the podium with Vettel ahead of Webber. The 3rd podium place belongs to Kimi if Alonso really does have a bad weekend.

Hmm, the Lotus isn't exactly tearing it up right now.

I still think that's track surface related. The Lotus' suspension action IMO is too kind for the smooth surfaces of Monaco and Canada
