Formula 1 Teams Are Done Making Predictions for the Season

Formula 1 teams are done making predictions for how this season will go, and instead they are simply taking each race at a time. 

"It is very, very difficult. Everyone has given up predicting this season, so we have to accept that you have to turn up at each event and do the best job you can. That is what we will seek to do at Silverstone," said McLarenMcLarenUnited Kingdom, 1963 > present92 models

is equally unsure about the rest of the season. While Sebastian Vettel really was dominant in Valencia, both he and Mark Webber suffered mechanical failures with their cars. Webber's caused him not to make it through the first portion of qualifying. 

"Silverstone is a completely different nature to this track, and it will probably be wet. I think the car is pretty strong in most conditions now, so we just need to keep pushing and keep trying to put performance on the car. We are not halfway through this championship yet and it already feels that we have done an awful lot of racing up until this point," said Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner. 

The next race is the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Fernando Alonso won there last year. It is possible that the race could be wet this year, which would add another variable to a very unpredictable season.

cars have won this season, and all three have been fast at various times. It is possible that they could win. Michael Schumacher is the other question mark. He took third last weekend in Valencia and has been very fast when his car works for him.
