#3 Sirotkin Scores Points

After Romain Grosjean finally scored some points in Austria, it leaves Sergey Sirotkin as the only driver who is yet to score on the current grid. Williams has been having a terrible season this year, with only Lance Stroll scoring a P8, and that too after a crazy race in Baku. Sirotkin himself hasn't really been at fault, as in the unreliable and slow machinery of the Williams, he really hasn't had the best opportunities to score.

That being said, Britain is home soil for Williams and as always it could be that the hometown advantage gives the team an extra bit of motivation. Austria saw a number of DNF's, even the big guns from Mercedes and Red Bull. If the same sort of happenings take place at Silverstone, and everything goes right for Williams, it could be that F1's resident Russian finally scores.

Russia has been on a roll lately, as their football team just beat Spain on penalties in the World Cup to proceed to the Quarter Finals on home soil. Therefore, it could be that Sirotkin takes some inspiration from the likes of Denis Cheryshev and gets some points for Russia.
