Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen came together in the first lap of the British Grand Prix, and despite a penalty, the reigning World Champion won his home race. Charles Leclerc finished a close second as Bottas came home in third.

Tire wear seems to be around 11 laps for the softs to start falling off. 15 for the medium and 17 for the hard. That means the Sprint race can be completed on any tire, but the pace of the car will be different at a different point of the race, depending on the tire.
Sprint race is around 18 laps?
No Merc engine in the top 10? I wonder whyWaikeCU wrote: ↑16 Jul 2021, 18:43Feel like the Merc's haven't turned up the engine

Yeah, guess it shows w. only an hour of practice before it, wonder though whether that also means that will continue during the sprint, and then into the race maybe soft tyres holding on a lot longer than we'd normally expect with temperatures as they seem to be expected.
I noticed that too. The memos flying around. Also DC is really over hyping how important it makes Friday.
