    Wanna go Hamilton, but if I do I'm just putting the kibosh on it.

    Bottas it is then.

    Bottas has no wins in 20 races that's shocking as he's been driving the best car for most of them 20 races, and 1 win in 29 races even worse.

    To be fair Bottas is pretty good on the high speed straight line circuits. He will be pretty quick in Sochi and I’d give him an outside chance of winning that if HAM and VER take their penalties there and will be decent here too.

    On paper this track should be a strong McLaren one but you just don’t know what teams could pull out with a skinny wing.

    Looking forward to this one - not sure about the sprint race but it’s a circuit where there ought to be some attempted overtakes.

    What time is traditional qualifying on today in the UK? Hate that it gets dumped right in the work day.

    In all seriousness .
    Yes and Jones , Alesi , Berger , Piquet ( snr )…..real characters love them or loath them .

    No need to include Ayrton , he would blow them all away ;)

    I think Lewis really has to take maximum points away from this weekend and probably in Sochi to take the championship this year? Hoping for a clean race with lots of overtaking and incidents.
