Lewis Hamilton’s prediction for F1 British GP after Ferrari got away with a “big risk”
Lewis Hamilton will start the F1 British Grand Prix from fifth on the grid, as he ran out of fuel and couldn’t set a second flying lap in the Q1 section of qualifying at Silverstone. Despite the setback, he was able to set the best time in Q2 and ended up fifth-fastest overall. Hamilton admitted the timing was off and they took a big risk with the fuel strategy. Former teammate Jenson Button noted that they were the only ones to make that mistake and emphasized the importance of avoiding such errors under pressure.
Rain is expected to fall before the F1 British Grand Prix on Sunday, which could favor Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton. Last year’s winner at this circuit, Hamilton faces a tough challenge starting behind Max Verstappen, Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris, and George Russell. Despite the difficult situation, Hamilton remains determined, saying, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way…” His performance in qualifying was affected by understeer, costing him a better result. Although he outpaced teammate Charles Leclerc, Hamilton was not satisfied with his fifth-place finish, as noted by Button.
