    Main note of FP1, Williams only a tenth of the back of the pack.

    Gap back to Kubica from Russell was concerning (for him) though. 8 tenths in FP1, 1.3s in FP2. In either session, that's the gap between Russell and 10th.

    Not seen an explanation/excuse offered, although after this number of races/sessions, it doesn't really feel like Williams could say anything to hide the inescapable conclusion.

    Well today was fun, last weekend drivers and teams were moaning about excessive tarmac on the run offs. Now all the hypocrites are complaining that they get punished if they go off track.

    This leads to the how to improve F1 thread, some people, including those deeply embedded in the sport cant be pleased. They just provide meaningless lip service.

    Just got a feeling that as and when Ferrari eventually chalk up a win his year it will be Leclerc before Vettel.

    It's embarassing, the only good thing about it is he's stopping someone else having to drive the Williams.

    Hamilton penalised according to his Instagram. Moves Norris up to 4th
