2021 Race 10 - British Grand Prix
Only 2 races before the summer break. This race will be the opportunity to see if Mercedes has any answer to Red Bull. Mercedes (specifically Hamilton) own this race.

We head to the historic track of Silverstone for a unique racing format. The first-ever F1 Sprint race weekend. Redbull comes into this weekend with three straight victories over Mercedes. For the first time in eight seasons, the seven-time world champions find themselves in a bit of a quandary. The reigning driver world champion stares quizzingly at his team as the emergence of a new force in F1 begins to emanate in the form of Max Verstappen. The pesky dutchman, quick-witted and snappy to offer a cheeky reply, stand tall, confident but cautious. Knowing full well that Mercedes and Hamilton are very capable of turning the tables around at a moments notice. Even so, A Silverstone victory seems assured for Verstappen with chance his only possible obstacle. Get the six-pack, crisps and other snacks ready, we are in for an exciting race weekend.

You drinking the Koolaid now , Zico ?
Hearing the roar of the crowd when you've got a "worthy" opponent is way better than hearing "oh , him again" .
From nowhere in practice to pole .
Cinderella story to be sure .
And , TBK announced George at Silverstone , so the bagwan's crystal ball has the DRS open , baby .

Nah, Verstappen is still quicker. A strange oversteer is what prevented him from taking pole. He was clearly faster through most of the speed traps. Besides, Mercedes had to use both cars to find that speed. Sacrificing Bottas' chances to ensure a Mercedes takes pole.
Nope, Mercedes is not in contention properly yet. But it was nice to see a change at the top. I really hope the Mercedes is fast enough to give Redbull a real fight this weekend.Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

Looking at the comparison video of Hamilton versus Max in qualifying, Mercedes has superior straight line speed. RB car is superior in the corners.
For Mercedes to be competitive tomorrow they need to do something overnight that gets them a little more pace in the corners.
Red Bull has to be looking for alternative to Perez for 2022. Bottas is getting a lot of criticism, but Perez continues to make serious mistakes.

I doubt many will do well in that second car of Redbull. I think Perez would get on top of the issues around the car. Besides, due to the minimal track time available to drivers that switched teams this season, most has struggled to get the best performance in their new cars. Ricciardo is struggling as much as Perez. But the Spanish drivers are showing the most progress in their new cars. Vettel is getting better with the Aston as well.
That said, Perez is doing a great job. Mistakes would happen. He is good enough to recover back into the to six, Also don't forget that Perez is a race winner in that cursed Redbull car.Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

It is one thing growing into the car - I can understand that. Halfway through the season now. And now it is two weeks in row Perez is making rookie mistakes that have nothing to do with the car. He continue to struggle in qualifying and pretty much on par with Albon and Gasly were.
If Gasly or Albon were still in the seat I think they would probably have just as good as results as Perez this year - and they might have a higher upside.
