Every time I saw that this race is not as funny as others, it tends to be spectacular so..... I find this race not so funny.

Weather forecast? rain would be more than welcome, though I am afraid that some drives like Rosberg or Massa will disagree.

This is a Hamilton territory so I expect a pole and a victory. This year both Ferrari and Rb should be ahead of Williams. I expect too another great race by Sainz, this track should suit his car and he had a great qualy last year.

Qualy:

1. Hamilton
3. Rosberg
3. Ricciardo
4. Vettel
5. Verstappen
6. Kimi
7. Sainz
8. Bottas
9. Alonso
10. Button

Race:

1. Hamilton
2. Rosberg
3. Vettel
4. Ricciardo
5. Verstappen
6. Sainz
7. Kimi
8. Alonso
9. Bottas
10. Button

What I would like:

1. Vettel
2. Rosberg.
3. Sainz
4. Hamilton
5. Ricciardo
6. Alonso
7. Vestappen
8. Button.
9. Kvyat
10. Hulkenberg.

I hope it is going to be a wet weekend, that would eliminate Nico Rosberg's chances.

Quali Prediction (Hoping it is going to be wet):
1. Hamilton
2. Vettel
3. Ricciardo.
Rest doesn't matter.

Race (Hoping it is going to be wet again):
1. Hamilton
2. Vetstappen
3. Ricciardo.
Rest doesn't matter either.

I'd like to see this as well.

Lewis would take the WDC lead, and the British fans would absolutely loose their minds.

Even Massa had a good race in wet in 2008. So be careful...

Which is not surprising. Most drivers on the grid are better racers in wet than Rosberg.

Except for Raikkonen.

Weather forecast = overcast Fri-Sun, if it rains it'll be in the morning, doesn't look like it's going to rain in the afternoon. Temperatures are going to be in the low 20's high teens.

I think pole is going to be high 1:29, or low 1:30.

If McLaren gets under 1:32 you know they're faster than last year's Mercedes.

I expect race laps to be in the 1:38's - 1:35's, high 34's for the really fast cars fastest race laps.

Personally I hope for a dry, sunny, hot race weekend. I want to see teams reaching their full potential, see the true gaps between them. There should be some decent fights between Williams, Force India, Toro Rosso and Mclaren.

I hope for a hot, dry weekend. I live a few miles from the circuit and I'm sick of the wet weather we've had over the last few weeks! Sunday was nice, having said that. Saw Sir Stirling Moss at an event. Watched some of his cars being driven around too. His 1961 Monaco winning Lotus-Climax is tiny. He had some balls driving that around Monaco! C-type was gorgeous, as was the 250SWB. A great day out.

Anyway, I hope it's glorious this weekend so I can enjoy the garden.

I´m with you on that. A nice sunny consistent weekend.

Copse, Maggotts and Becketts demand it to be dry.

[godlameroso]

All the events are supposed to be dry, I just see it being quite cloudy. It can range from total gloom overcast, to having the sun peek through every now and then. If it does rain it won't be very heavy. Weather should be similar to the WEC race earlier this year but not quite as cold, it was pretty frigid.

[PlatinumZealot]

I want it to be a wet race so Jenson can finally get a home podium.

[Jolle]

It looks like that for the past few years Williams designed their car around the challenges of silversone, without much compromise. I so hope for them they'll have a weekend where it all comes together. Would be nice to have a non-works (status) team could go for a win again.

[Racer X]

Are Force India going to try a one stop? Why so many hard rubber?
