    I think Vettel's car will be fitted with over-sized mirrors and perspex head protectors................

    Honestly?... This season is over, I've gone for Lewis, because he seems to be getting all the luck at the moment.

    yeah, I've been wondering if he's ok, can't seem to PM him though for some reason, or see his profile page which no longer has a profile pic, maybe closed his account?

    I was about to say that both Mercedes drivers have reported the performance of the car is "back to normal" at this track which bodes well for them, and then Bottas's gearbox change. Oh well.

    Merc looks good, Vettel looks good - Kimi not so happy. RB wasn't what I expected, I think their philosophy of trimming wing has reduced their fundamental historical advantages in certain sectors. I think this is likely to be a two way fight.

    Vettel and Hamilton looking handy on the softs. Interesting to see if they do that for Q2

    Not the first time Lewis has been in the way. And probably again it will be brushed away
