The rain caused the race to start early in Silverstoneat least the strategy. Despite rainfall, the layout was drier than expected, but the radar assured that it would thunder from the lap 15. That is why all the grid pilots They chose to start with intermediate tires In search of that symbiosis. However, a lap, the formation, it was enough for a script turn before the traffic light went out.
Verstappen y Saucers They reached their departure position when Leclerc y Russell They decided to change their wheels and mount dry gums. They were followed Hadjar, Bortoleto y Collapent. Five brave. The exit occurred more empty than usual, Alonso y Sainz winning positions without even starting his career. However, little lasted Fernandowell Gasly He took advantage of the first curves to advance it.
Bortoleto suffered his decision with an excursion to the gravel that led to abandonment. And the cars zafarrancho that passed through boxes did not start until the laps 12, when the water curtains and the overcast sky released on Silverstone. It came well to Verstappenwho had lost a position with Norris And he recovered it when he passed through boxes. The double for McLaren It was somewhat slower than they projected.

What did not disappoint was the intensity of the rain. Great intensity was expected and so it was. He spray that the cars left soon reduced visibility between the cars and career direction decided to take out the safety car before the circuit worsen its situation. Although it should be remembered that when the security car came out, no pilot rolled with extreme rain tires. This is the Formula 1 now.
One of the greatest beneficiaries and who best knew in a scrambled river was Stroll with a strategy that at first seemed wrong. When they subtracted just six laps for the rain to invade Silverstone, he entered boxes under a virtual Safety Car to mount dry tires while the rest of the grill was with intermediates. A choice that translated into a fourth final place because it won so much time in those laps that when he entered intermediates he had opened hollow.
