Max is back on podiumkoers in Europe and England.

Sunday the Grand Prix of England on the program. The circuit on the former airport at the border of the English counties Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire requires a healthy amount of often, but also lots of downforce to the different rapid bochtensecties to get through. That hp’s has the Red Bull RB12 is not unnecessary, but downforce on the other hand, the more. How this is reflected in laptime compared to the Merc’s and Fezza’s? Today were the first two training sessions held and we got a first indication.

VT1
With a fastest lap of 1:33,202 is Max about four tenths slower than team-mate Daniel Ricciardo. He ends up on the seventh place, Dani-Ric is on P5. Between the two Red Bull’s Kimi were times, that today together with Minttu a new contract with Ferrari may celebrate. It is rumored already that Ferrari are not for a longer period want to commit to another rider because they open the door want to keep it for Lewis. Speaking of Lewis, he picks up P1, just in front of Rosberg, Hulkenberg in a surprising third place and Vettel on place four. Behind Max get also, Perez, Sainz and Alonso the top 10.

VT2
In the second act, it’s a bit better for Max, although he is Ricciardo still needs to suffer. However, the difference is halved compared to the first training. Hamilton is once again before the two Red Bull’s in the first place. The difference between HAM and RIC is about four tenths of a second. Rosberg must complete the training to sit out with technical problems and fog so valuable tracktime. The Ferrari complete the top five in the order that you expect today. In the second half of the top 10 are indeed the two McLaren’s with Alonso on P6 and thuisfavoriet Button on P9. Also the Williams drivers show something of speed on P7 and P10, the Mass at this time is slower than Bottas. Grosjean takes P8 for Haas. It is also noteworthy that the Force India’s, in VT1 still encouraging fast, now falling back to P15 and P16. That are so either in terms of setup completely the wrong direction or try something totally different in terms of strategy. Maybe a run with very much fuel on board. Might be something to look forward to on Sunday.

What does this say about the race? As the drivers tell you, it is only Friday. Nevertheless, you can now not afford to have such a session does not take seriously. Intuitively, we see more and more that the speed of the Friday, however, voorpellende value. Because we at autoblog the worst is not, we will make a rock solid prediction for Sunday. Rosberg 1, Verstappen 2, Vettel 3. LH44 falls out won position. Ricciardo recently gave in an interview that he dates Max a good look at because our countryman better with his tyres going into the race, but has not yet sufficiently learned from it and falls back to P4. Vettel sneaks through to the final podium position. What is your prediction?
