The British Grand Prix weekend is here! Mercedes have been dominant all season long but came unstuck in Austria thanks to the searing temperatures. But who will come out on top in the first session of the British Grand Prix?

Last time out
Max Verstappen stunned the field to recover from a disastrous opening lap to finish to win the Austrian Grand Prix, his first race since the Mexican Grand Prix of 2018. Mercedes had to manage cooling issues last time out and failed to win a race for the first time this season with Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton finishing third and fifth respectively. 
 
Charles Leclerc suffered more heartbreak as he was overtaken late on in controversial fashion as he finished in second place adding to the long list of misfortune he's had this season.
 
McLaren are well and truly back with both drivers finishing in the top ten for the second consecutive race after the doubleheader in France and Austria, establishing themselves as the front runners for best of the rest.
