Inside grill head, Mercedes has achieved an advantage of little more than a second, while Red Bull it has stayed at -0.91.
Alpineformer team of Fernando Alonso, has won 1.15 seconds, two fewer than Aston Martin. Looking at these data, it is now understandable why the two-time champion of Formula 1 decided to leave Enstone last August. The work of the ‘gurus’ of Silverstone It is paying off sooner than expected.
