F1: Early Predictions for British GP

#4 McLaren woes continue

Fernando Alonso

Silverstone is one of those technical circuits which needs a bit of everything. Though Fernando Alonso fought back to salvage P8 for McLaren, that was mainly due to the sheer number of retirements and many cars facing tyre blistering issues due to high temperatures.

McLaren has dropped to 6th in the constructor's standings after being as high as 4th during the initial part of the season. Silverstone will be a much bigger challenge and they will find it tough to beat the likes of Renault and Haas, who have a better overall package.
