Can Lewis Hamilton bounce back with new Mercedes upgrades on home soil?

Can Hamilton and Merc bounce back?
Mercedes came away from Austria with their worst result since the season-opening🎉 Bahrain Grand Prix.
Austria has typically been a bit of a bogey circuit for Mercedes over the years, mainly due to how their power unit performs at high altitude, combined with it being one♐ of Ha🤪milton’s weaker circuits - by his own high standards.

Conversely, Mercedes have been unstoppable over the years at Si🧸lverstone, winning all but two races on British soil between 2013 and🅷 2021.
Hamilton has a remarkable eight wins at the British venue, his last coming in 2021 after colliding with title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen on the opening lap.
Mercedes are expected to bring a significant upgrade to the British GP as thꦜey look to continue their good momentum - Austria aside.
They still sit second in t♏he constructors’ championship, a few points ahead of Aston Mart💟in.
An upgraded Me🏅rcedes, at a circuit Hamil🃏ton has thrived at over the years - they should be in for a good weekend.
Records for Red Bull
Red Bull continued their unstoppable form at the Austrian Grand Prix, taking their ninth consecutive vic𝔉tory of the season.
Iꦬt means Red Bull has now won 10 ra🤡ces in a row - stretching back to last year - making it a record for the team.

The last time they won nine straight races in a year was back in 2013 with Sebastian Vette♚l - so Silverstone could be another record for the Milton Keynes outfit.
McLaren currently hold the record for consecutive wins - 1♈1 back in 198ﷺ8.
Red Bull are very likely to equ�ܫ�al it this weekend provided there’s no reliability issues.
Fantastic Lando
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris put in another spectacular display at the Red Bull Ring 💃t🦂o come home fourth.
While he did have the McLaren upgrade🌱s - and teammate Oscar Piastri didn’t - Norris deserves an immense amount of credit for🍰 his performance.
While many r💦ightfully say that Hamilton is still F1’s top Brit, given he is a seven-time world champion with over 100 wins to his name, Norris’ perforꦛmances since the start of 2021 certainly put him in that conversation.

Naturally, the statistics don’t back it up given he’s spent his whole career in midfield machinery, however, he consistently gets the most out of the McLaren, destroying highly-rated teammates like 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo in the process.
Silverstone will be a key test of McLaren’s new upgrade, particularly as Austria probably was more down to some more Norris magic - it is one of his strongest circuits after🥃 all.
Track limits
After th𒁏e drama in Austria, track limits are likely going to be a lively talking point at Silverstone this weekend.
There were over 1200 potential infringements for the FIA to look at during Sunday’s 71🌄-lap race so it was no surprise there were delays in the penalties being handed out.
St♈ill, it looked amateur on the FIA’s part and for t♊he sport as a whole for the final result to be finalised five hours after the chequered flag.
Typically, Silv🐓erstone 💮isn’t too difficult for track limit but it’s going to rear its head at some point I am sure.
