British Grand Prix Race Thread

Ladies and Gentlemen, hello and welcome to the 2014 Santander British Grand Prix Race Thread. Formula 1 comes home baby . The weather forecast indicates we will have light rain during quali as well as in the race, so remember that when you do your predictions in zdkf1.com.

You may wonder why this thread is up early, well, I'm bored. To make the championship interesting Hamilton has to beat Rosberg. Without further ado, let us begin;

All Stats are available from formula1.com. I’ve posted a few I thought were interesting;

Did you know that 12 different British drivers have won their home race, or that the very first world championship Grand Prix was held at Silverstone in 1950? Ahead of this weekend’s 2014 Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix we present all the need-to-know facts, stats and trivia…

Circuit lap record: 1m 33.401s - Mark Webber (2013), Red Bull (Fernando Alonso set a faster lap time on the current track configuration during the 2010 race, but this was when the start/finish line was still between Woodcote and Copse. The following year the start/finish line was moved to its current location, something that constituted a ‘change of circuit’ under the International Sporting Code).

Will we see another strong performance from Williams? Have Mercedes addressed their reliability issues? Will Vettel break his car again? Who will Maldonado crash into?

Tune in!
