F1 | Ferrari convincing in Great Britain: Vettel ready to stop the Mercedes magic at Silverstone? [VIDEO]

After the excellent performances shown in yesterday's free practice, Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari aim to break Mercedes' dominance at Silverstone which has now lasted for four seasons. The race pace shown yesterday, combined with the great time set by the German during the afternoon, give Maurizio Arrivabene hope for his expectations for this weekend, well aware however of the fact that the weather conditions will play a role key role in the balance between the Scuderia di Maranello and the World Champion team.

In fact, with yesterday's high temperatures, Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas seem to have experienced more than a few difficulties, especially in terms of grip, a factor that led the Silver Arrows to lose a bit of performance on the flying lap. A different story, however, for the SF71H, a car which during the afternoon appeared well balanced in the long bends of the English track (a surprising factor given the Red car's little feeling with the circuit located in Northamptonshire. ed.).

A change in temperature, however, can tip the scales, bringing the Brackley Scuderia's possibilities back into vogue. Free practice 3 will tell us more in this sense, but one thing is certain: Ferrari is ready to play a sensational checkmate in Lewis Hamilton's fiefdom.
