FUTURE SHOCK
While Formula 1 continues to
debate changes to perk up the
on-track action, Dutch graphic
artist Andries van Overbeeke
has turned his attention to
just how a futuristic F1 car
could look especially if overcockpit canopies are introduced
to provide additional driver
protection.
Whether or not you agree
with the concept of enclosed
F1 cars, we just had to feature
Andries' exceptional work, outlining
his perspective on just how a
McLaren (liveried in some cases
in the compay's iconic 'Marlboro'
colours) might look under those
circumstances.
It's an interesting concept ...

Race winner Jim Clark heads the pack during the 1967
British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Clark made the British
Grand Prix his own in the 1960s, winning five times
between 1962 and his final appearance at the event in 1967.

It was anything but straightforward for Lewis Hamilton as he
overcame a poor start, a pair of
fiesty Williams', the weather and
even a hard-charging teammate to
win in Silverstone. Of his grand prix
wins, it was certainly one of the
more impressive.
Hamilton had predicted his fate at
the start as he pulled away on the
formation lap. His revised clutch, the
bane of his races since the Spanish
Grand Prix, was working well but
under his rear wheels there was no
traction. He slipped to second as
Felipe Massa catapulted off the line.
He went wheel-to-wheel with
Valtteri Bottas, who was guilty of not
defending as well as he might, in
the opening corners and gained the
upper hand there, only to lose it at the
restart.
Not for the first time this season
both Lotus drivers had managed to
find the same piece of tarmac. Both
McLaren drivers wanted it too and of
the four three of them were out on
the spot. It was the worst possible
start for Lotus, the poorest of results
imaginable at a time when it needs to
score points.
It's battling Force India in the
constructors championship and given
the Silverstone-based team debuted
a new car - which looked both mean
on track and competitive - Lotus
simply has to maximise its chances.
Both Romain Grosjean and Pastor
Maldonado have under-performed in
2015 and regardless of whose fault
the opening lap clash at Silverstone
was both deserve having their heads
banged together until they see sense.
So too do the two Williams drivers.
While it would be unfair to say Felipe
Massa cost the team victory his
actions early in the race certainly
minimised any chances the team had.
When the rain came any pace in the
car disappeared, so perhaps they'd

Missed Opportunity
Having commanded the early part of
the race, Williams drivers Felipe Massa
and Valtteri Bottas ultimately faded to
finish fourth and fifth at Silverstone.
The pair had jumped well, Massa
charging into the lead by the first turn
before Bottas moved underneath Lewis
Hamilton at the restart to make it a
Williams 1-2.
But from there the race fell apart.
Despite the hopes of many that the
Grove team might go on to win its first
British Grand Prix since 1997 it's effort

Reality Check
A weekend that had started so well ultimately
ended in disappointment for Toro Rosso.
The young duo of Carlos Sainz and Max Verstappen
ran towards the top of the timesheets during practice,
leading many to predict bright things come the race.
When I compare high-speed performance, if we had
the [Mercedes] engine, I think we would be P2 [after
Mercedes], boasted Verstappen on Thursday.
We look at GPS data after every session and
compare ourselves with Ferrari, Williams and even
Mercedes, added Sainz.
After watching our data from Barcelona, I'm
convinced that this car, with a very decent engine, will
be fighting with Williams and, on some occasions, with
Ferrari.
We looked at the data and Turn 3 and Turn 9 in
Barcelona, only Mercedes was quicker than us.
All their optimism came to nothing however when
both drivers failed to finish on Sunday.
The reality check really came on Saturday in
qualifying, when Verstappen could do no better than
