2020 British GP: How Far Behind Will Ferrari Be?

How far behind will Ferrari be in the 2020 British GP?
In our Pits To Podium segment for the 2020 British GP, we wonder if Ferrari could be at the risk of being lapped in the two upcoming rounds at Silverstone. Ferrari haven’t hit bottom yet or have they? 

Mercedes’ domination has been confirmed for the 2020 Formula 1 Season. But as we look forward to the 2020 British GP, the question is – how far ahead are they of the competition? Will we see aggression or frustration for Valtteri Bottas? The back-to-back races at Silverstone (2020 British GP followed by the 70th Anniversary GP) are to Lewis Hamilton’s advantage – could he extend his gap in the Drivers’ Championship? Hamilton has been in supreme form most times he’s raced at home. Here’s a series of graphs explaining his superlative performances at Silverstone.

In our Pits To Podium segment, we tell you why the battle for P2 in the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championship could be where the entertainment is. Max Verstappen vs. the Mercedes drivers followed by Racing Point vs. Red Bull Racing vs. other protesting teams. Not to mention the possible verdict of the Renault vs. Racing Point protest that is expected before or around the 2020 British GP. But what about Ferrari, how far back will they be on a circuit with fast-flowing corners? In fact, will the circuit characteristics give Mclaren an advantage over their midfield rivals? And of course, it will continue to be worse for all Ferrari-powered teams. All this and more in our ‘5 things to watch for’ series for the 2020 British GP. Tune in!
