Mercedes have been credited for𝔉 turning around the fortunes of the W15 to set up a mouth-watering F1 British Grand Prix.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell is on pole position on Sunday at Silverstone, ahead of teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.

McLaren’s Lando ꦐNorris rounds off an all-Brit front three, with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen fourth.

The potential improvement that Me༒rcedes hinted at from Montreal-onwards came to the fore on Saturday at Hamilton and Russไell’s home race.

“Last year, ꦜand the start of this year,ꦡ they struggled in high-speed corners,” Jenson Button said on Sky Sports.

“So to bring it here, and be that co♊mpeti꧙tive, is a big deal for them. A massive step.

“For a car to🍸 work around here?🌼 It’s in a good place. Fair play to them.”

Naomi Schi♕ff insisted that the F1 championship, long assumed to eventually be Verstappen’s fourth in a row, is no longer a formality.

“Max and Red Bull have quite a strong lead at the moment but♉, if those teams work smartly, tꩵhey can close that gap,” she said.

“This can very much still be turned around.”

Schiff told Hamilton and Russell to work in-sync to thwart Verstappen: “They have to be smart about how they work [on Sunday]. They have to be careful on Laps 1 and ꦡ2.

“🐻Make sure they work together to get ahead. Max will be on the charge, they will have worked on the car [overnight]. Max will be on the hunt.

“The♐y need to work together to get that gap smaller to Red Bull.”

Schiff lauded the impact of James Allisson’s technical department: “The impressive thing is that they’ve worked at this car for a long 😼time, they have brought upgrades time and time again which ha𓆏ven’t made the difference.

“Now they’ve put on this front wing💟 in Montreal, they have unlocked the potential that they kept saying was in the car.

“We started to stop believing them.

“They’ve turned it around. To be quick here proves they migh𒉰t be i𝓡n with a fighting chance for the rest of the season.”

Button also credited Russell whose mi🧜ghty qualifying head-to-head advantage over Hamilton continued.

“Lewis is Mr. 🍒Saturday as well. That’s been a big part of his career,” Button said.

“Obviously he gets the deal done on Sundays 𝓰but he always puts himse༒lf in a good position on Saturdays.

“George has done a fantastic job. It is set up for a ♔mega British Grand Prix.

“Max will be on a charge…

“If [Hamilton and Russell] get a🐻way cleanly♎, they are in full control of what goes on behind them.”
