M𒊎ercedes have been credited for turning around the fortunes of the W15 to set uꦬp a mouth-watering F1 British Grand Prix.

McLaren’s Lando Norris rounds off an all💜-Brit front three, with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen fourth.

The potential🥀 improvement that Mercedes hinted at from Montreal-onwards came to the fore on Sat💦urday at Hamilton and Russell’s home race.

“Last year, and the start of this year, they struggled in high-speed cor🐻ners,” Jenson Button said on Sky Sports.

“So to bring it here, ℱand be that competitive, i🥀s a big deal for them. A massive step.

“For a car to work༺ around here? It’s in a good place. Fair play to them.”

Naomi Sc🐻hiff insisted that the F1 championship, long assumed to eventually be Verstappen’s fourth in a row, is no longer a formality.

“Max and Red Bull have quite a strong lead at the moment but, if th🐓ose teams work smartly, they can close that gap,” she said.

“This can very much still be turned around.”

Schiff told Hamilton and Russell to work in-sync to thwart Verstappen: “They have🔯 to be smart about how they work [on Sunday]. They have to be careful on Laps 1 and 2.

“Make sure they work together to get ahead. Max will be on the charge, they will hꦫave worked on the car [overnight]. Max will be on the hunt.

“💛They need to work together to get that gap sm🐼aller to Red Bull.”

Schiff lauded the impact of James Allisson’s technical department: “The impressive thing is that they’ve worked at this car for a long time, they have brought upgrad🍷es time and time again which haven’t made the difference🔯.

“Now they’ve put on this front wing♛ in Montreal, they have unlocked the potential that th🌳ey kept saying was in the car.

“We started to stop believing them.

“They’ve turned it around. To be quick here proves they might be in with a fighting chance fo🍸r the rest of 🐼the season.”

Button also credited Russell whose mighty qualifying head-to-hꦅead advantꦆage over Hamilton continued.

“Lewis is Mr. Saturday as well. That’s bee🧸n a big part of his career,” Bu𝄹tton said.

“Obviously he gets the deal done on Sundays but he always puts himseꦫlf in a 🔴good position on Saturdays.

“George has done a fantastic job. It is set ꦚup for a mega British Grand Prix.

“Max will be on a charge…

“If [Hamilton and Russell] get away cleanly, they are in full control of what goes on behꦓind them.”
