After Sprint weekend in Austria, which reduced the important references in free practice, the three free practice sessions return to Silverstone, fundamental for the teams to optimize the new packages and set-ups. The challenge between McLaren and Red Bull, in particular between Lando Norris e Max Verstappen, will be one of the main themes of the weekend. But be careful of Mercedes who could be the surprise of the weekend thanks to the new updates and the unstable weather. Silverstone, with its high-speed corners represents an essential testing ground for all teams, and the uncertain weather forecast, with the possibility of rain for both qualifying and the race, adds a further level of complexity. Let's see the advice on who to line up and which forecasts to choose at Fanta F1 for the Silverstone GP weekend.
The advices: the top 5 at Fanta F1 for the Silverstone GP weekend
McLaren has shown notable improvement with recent updates, and home driver Norris will be particularly motivated to do well in front of his fans by challenging Verstappen again. Hamilton and Mercedes, the third force on the track, should benefit from the "front-limited" characteristics of Silverstone and the new front wing. In Austria, Russell took victory, putting himself ahead of Piastri and Perez, but also his teammate Hamilton, who however is motivated to do well in the last race at Silverstone with Mercedes. Ferrari is the big question mark of the weekend. The team is struggling with bouncing and could once again find itself behind the competition. Sainz and Leclerc have compared the SF-24 with the old package and the one with the new package, but this only led even more doubts about the competitiveness of the updated SF-24. Watch out for penalties, Pierre Gasly having changed Power Unit will have to serve some grid positions.
