F1 2024 Season

Pit-lane start for Perez

Andrew Benson
BBC F1 correspondent at Silverstone

"...Red Bull have taken the opportunity of Sergio Perez's error in qualifying, and 19th place on the grid, to fit a new internal combustion engine, battery and electronics control unit, all of which exceed his allowance. He will start from the pit lane..."

Theres a part of me wishing this was max at Silverstone, just to see how far up the grid he could get starting from the pitlane. Perez? He'll struggle to get past 15th place or something.
 
No rain until an hour into the race apparently.

Bloody thunder and lightning where I am.
 
Good point from Alessandro Alunni Bravi on the grid that the best strategy might be starting on M or H and waiting for the rain.
 
Maybe it's old news by now but just heard that Ferrari spent practice comparing the new updates they introduced at Barcelona with their old setup and decided to go back to the old one. Not exactly good timing when Merc and Mclaren are making so much progress.
 
Who collides at the start? I am going to say Russell and Norris! And Lewis leading with Verstappen 2nd.

Probably and Max comes through like the parting of the red sea

Maybe Perez and Sargeant...

I think clean start though. Shame there's not more rain
 
Could do with some rain, just feels like it's all a bit tactical out there at the moment.
 
Even those in Drs can't overtake. LeClerc, Hulkenberg, Piastri
 
If this is the new balance of strength then Red Bull almost must put Sainz in that second seat to have a fighting chance for at least the constructors title next year.
 
Max is too slow suddenly for some reason. Not showing us any radio is shite.
