Despite the cars currently on inters, the sun is peeking through the clouds and the track is expected to dry up quickly. However, there is a chance of more rain throughout the race.

After his incident yesterday and a change to his power unit, Franco Colapinto will start from the pit lane today at the British Grand Prix.

The British Grand Prix weekend didn’t look promising for Alpine, but in a shock Q3 performance, Pierre Gasly made it into the top 10.

“We thought we’d be knocked out in Q1 because it’s been extremely difficult for some reason,” Gasly said. “We struggled so much throughout the whole weekend and we’re really not comfortable with it. But we tried a lot and tried to stick to our guns, just focus on our package and try to get the best out of it.

“To say it in a kind way, the car wasn’t very kind throughout the whole session. It’s tough for everybody, but this is what we have, and we can be pleased because we did a better job than the others.”

As it begins to rain steadily in Silverstone, Red Bull will be at a disadvantage with Max Verstappen starting in P1.

On Saturday, Verstappen said the team does not want it to rain: “Absolutely not, not with the wing we have on the car. We want it to be dry.”

With Formula 1, nothing is promised or certain. In Silverstone, that is particularly true with wet conditions and various pit strategies.

However, Max Verstappen continues to prove that even in an inferior car, he can do magical things on track. The four-time champion holds a 75 percent win-from-pole rate, but McLaren and Ferrari’s chances still look high.
