For the primary time at Silverstone, three Brits occupy the primary three slots on the grid after George Russell beat Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton and McLaren’s Lando Norris to pole.
Whereas the gang will rightly present up hopeful of a British victory, it is from assured with world championship chief Max Verstappen ready to pounce on any alternative from fourth place, whereas Norris’ McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri can’t be discounted from fifth.
With which workforce has the quickest automotive not utterly clear following interchangeable circumstances via the weekend, the race will start as considered one of F1’s most troublesome to foretell for a very long time.
Throw into the combination that the unseasonable climate is about to proceed, and an absolute traditional may very well be on the playing cards on the well-known circuit.
With such an attractive prospect in retailer, the Sky Sports activities F1 workforce shared their predictions for Sunday’s race following qualifying:
Karun Chandhok, Sky Sports activities F1 pundit
Winner: George Russell
I believe that he is actually on an excellent run of kind and I believe the Mercedes is de facto suited to this circuit. He is simply driving rather well and I’ve this intestine feeling he can maintain off the opposite three. However I’d say that Verstappen in fourth might be the largest menace.
Ted Kravitz, Sky Sports activities F1 pit lane reporter
Winner: Max Verstappen
I believe George goes to steer away at the beginning. Max goes to return via in his repaired automotive and battle with Lando and Lewis. I might count on the rain will maintain off and it’ll come right down to a battle between Russell and Verstappen, with Max getting it in the long run. On the end: Max, Lando, George.

Naomi Schiff, Sky Sports activities F1 pundit
Winner: Lewis Hamilton
The excellent news is all of the Brits have an opportunity to win. But when I needed to put my cash on anybody, it could be Lewis Hamilton. I believe what we would love to see is a sixth completely different winner this season, and he will be the motive force to ship that.
Simon Lazenby, Sky Sports activities F1 presenter

I believe Verstappen will win as a result of he had a broken flooring in qualifying. While I hope for the followers that they get a British winner, I really feel that Max is on a mission and shall be very fast with a repaired flooring. We have not seen his true tempo but.

Winner: Lando Norris
Lando and Verstappen are the 2 finest proper now by way of kind, and by way of automotive pace over race distance, and they’re going to emerge ultimately on the entrance. The Mercedes vehicles may lead for some time however over race distance the Mercedes will not be but capable of compete even in these extra beneficial circumstances. I take Lewis to win the battle with George for the ultimate podium spot.
Nigel Chiu, Sky Sports activities F1 digital journalist
Winner: Lando Norris
Lando Norris was nice all through Friday and I believe McLaren could have a tempo benefit over Mercedes. Norris should maintain Verstappen behind at the beginning, then he can use tempo and technique to beat the 2 Mercedes vehicles. If it is moist, I additionally assume Norris will present his class and make up for coming shut in Canada.

Lando Norris says he anticipated Mercedes to be his major contenders for pole and can look to convey the battle to them from P3 tomorrow.
James Galloway, Sky Sports activities F1 digital journalist
Winner: Lewis Hamilton
If there’s going to be not less than yet another huge day within the glittering Lewis Hamilton-Mercedes story, then maybe this Silverstone Sunday goes to be it. Whereas he missed out on what would have been a record-extending eighth house pole to his team-mate, a front-row begin nonetheless leaves Hamilton very handily positioned.
His qualifying could have underwhelmed for a lot of his closing Mercedes marketing campaign thus far, however race days have nonetheless normally proved a little bit extra fruitful. After all, nobody is aware of higher than Hamilton methods to win round Silverstone and as his ongoing run of 10 consecutive podiums present, he tends to discover a manner on house floor.
Sam Johnston, Sky Sports activities F1 digital journalist
Winner: Lando Norris
Lando Norris and his McLaren workforce have been oozing confidence all through the weekend, even after an error in qualifying value him a shot at pole on Saturday. He and the workforce might want to present they’ve learnt from moments in latest races which have value them victory, however with a clear race I believe the papaya automotive has the tempo to get previous each of the Silver Arrows.
