“I think Max, you know, he’s just dominant at the moment, the car is also dominant,” Button told On Track GP, the YouTube channel launched in partnership between PlanetF1.com and DR Sports. “I think that one of the Brits will be in second or third. So I’m thinking it’s more likely going to be Lewis and George than Lando, but the McLaren does look strong as well.”
Despite Mercedes’ apparent struggles in free practice on Friday and their recent performance issues in Austria, Button believes the team will be able to find their pace and challenge for a podium finish at Silverstone. He hopes to see Hamilton and Russell fighting for a top-three position, considering it a great spectacle for the fans.
