MPH: Mark Hughes on...
F1's summer break isn't all bad news for those trying to catch Red Bull, because the rest of the season's tracks should still play well to McLaren's and Ferrari's strengths
Can't be nice heading into the summer break if you're McLaren or Ferrari, having just suffered a one second per lap drubbing from Red Bull and with the shutdown not permitting you to respond. Lewis Hamilton made the point that the enforced holiday period has arrived at exactly the wrong time for them.
But is it as bad as all that? Sure, there's not enough time to have a big aero update on the car by Spa, but that's not necessarily such a disaster.
