BBC also reporting that Russell has the Mercedes drive.

Well wasn't expecting the Ferraris to be in front of Verstappen. Hamilton master class? only one pit stop.

I think today will be a case of, 'To finish first, first you have to finish'.

16 degree track temperature with cars crashing on the way to the grid. Could be more spins than rock around the clock today.

First GP this season without a Mercedes on pole. Verstappen must be favourite for the win tomorrow.

No penalties applied, because it was a misunderstanding between the two drivers Crashing into each other is OK, but doing a practice start in the wrong place is a no no.....unless you drive a Ferrari. https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/69451/leclerc-was-not-penalized-for-a-wrong-test-start-at-spa.html

Happy birthday Murray Walker 97 today.

1968 Jackie Stewart won by over four minutes in wet and foggy conditions while driving with a broken wrist.

The traffic light is most likely red, amber and the two green lights are left and right arrows. The reason it is at the opening of a no entry street is that is facing the oncoming traffic that can only turn left or right.

This is correct, but I would imagine it would be a rather frosty relationship after Horner's criticism of the Renault engines performance last time it was in the back of the Red Bull.

Depends what engine is in the back of it.

Red Bull have burnt their bridges with Renault, can't See Mercedes supplying them, so leaves them looking to Ferrari. Could be interesting.

Get the feeling that the FIA don't want Hamilton to beat Schumacher's race win record.

Sainz is honing his skills for when he joins Ferrari by hitting the wall.

The stewards rescinded the 2 points bring him back to 8 points and replaced them with a 25,000 euro fine instead.

I don't have an issue with a driver getting penalty points for a transgression of the rules, but it seems that dangerous manoeuvres, causing accidents and crashing into barriers causing a safety car or a red flag are racing incidents. Twelve drivers were warned regarding the re start pile up at Mugello, but no penalty points handed out. Enter the pit lane when closed or carry out a practice start in the wrong place and out come the penalty points.

I replaced the Dunlop's on the wife's 66 plate Fabia last month as it failed the MOT on an inner sidewall bulge on one of the rear tyres and an advisory that all four tyres were cracking in the treads. Four years old and just under 20,000 miles with plenty of tread left.

Water pump is the usual suspect in these situations.

There might be a bar locally who will have it on the TV. It should be a closer race this week, with Max pitting once for tyres while the Mercedes will be in about four or five times.

Last weeks winner in Monza is out in Q1 this week.

Corrected that for you.

What's your forecast for the weekend. Mercedes to pit 5 times due to tyre degradation? 🤔

I rate most drivers over Vettel.

Reports circulating that Perez will leave Racing Point at the end of the season and Vettel will be his replacement.
