Can Leclerc beat the Silver Arrows & bring home a victory?

The Monegasque driver was just a few laps away from a win at Silverstone. However, due to the brilliant driving from Lewis Hamilton, the Brit was able to catch Leclerc in the closing stages of the race and take the chequered flag.

The number 16 driver had to settle for second place, and was surely disappointed on not bring home their first win of the season. Leclerc has been able to get his Ferrari on pole twice, one at Monaco and the other in Azerbaijan. Seeing the dig that Mercedes, as taken on his team, will surely motivate the 23-year-old.

However, Hamilton is motivated as well and would be gunning at the provisional pole too. He knows by achieving pole, he will increase his chances of winning another race this season, which help him regain the lead in the title race, against, title-rival, Max Verstappen.
