this British Grand PrixThe tenth race of the Formula One World Championship comes with a lot to show this week, if solid leader Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull) allows it with his desire to resurface from a race. Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) hero this week unintentionally linked good performances in Spanish carlos sainz (Ferrari) and Fernando Alonso (Alp).

A year later, ‘The Great Circus’ is once again the great shame of racism, this time due to Nelson Piquet’s statements describing Hamilton as “black”.

Sporting tension is another feature of this campaign, because there is dutch fits comfortably on the table To defend the title that won the British at the last breath. Verstappen has five wins in the last six races, the other for teammate Sergio Pérez and is the outstanding leader with 175 points for 129 of the Mexicans, second and a ‘0’ last Sunday.

Meanwhile, in Baku after his third retirement of the season, carlos sainz Gilles saw his luck change in Villeneuve, fight to the end for victory. The Madrid man was less than a second behind Verstappen, but after a long time enjoying good performance and results on a Sunday, he restarted (102 points) to seek the World Cup podium. Silverstone has a history and isn’t the best for a Sainz who will try to change that by wearing red.

Back to the Spaniards, Fernando AlonsoIt comes with a bitter taste from the other side of the pool for an Alpine who is a two-time champion in the English circuit and is not very reliable when the points are distributed. The Asturian driver swept up the grid for second place on Saturday, but finished seventh by a “miracle” despite hoping to once again ally with British rain.
