    I bet Danny is happy with 3rd. The 0.8 second gap to Merc isn't good though but same as normal!

    The interesting thing is my colleague went to Ireland last week for a holiday and is returning on Sunday. The email that stated this 14 day isolation came out on Tuesday whilst he’s away so he’s now got to self isolate for 14 days as well.

    Sounds like Pirelli have upped tyre pressure and gone softer! Looks like minimum of 2 stops if not 3!

    I think they said when the results of the tests came out , that they would stick with the softer compound and increase pressures .

    Toto seems to know WAY too much about Racing Point design process. He mentions Haas in 2015 was a pure copy of ferrari and as they were non competitor it was allowed and there is no rule saying you can't base 2020 brake ducts on non listed 2019 competitors parts....
    He knows too much about a suposid competitor. Plus he said Merc don't want to sign concord agreement for 5 years as they want flexibility!

    I think Ferrari appealing is about as close as you'll find to the definition of irony in the dictionary.

    Just saw a clip of Lewis interview and he said he was glad Ron bought into the dream of him being first black f1 driver! Is that not racism? ie he gained an advantage because of his skin colour?
    Not trying to open up the argument again as all people should be equal.

    Hope Hulk can put a good lap together. Hope he qualifies in front of Stroll

    This year is just getting worse for Vettel. Love to know what's going on.

    Russell doing so well, just needs a tenth or so. OK so he is on softs but so close to Vettel!

    Seb 12th, but 'only' 0.3 behind Leclerc, which is where I think he is now.

    Both Mercedes to be blown off course by the wind allowing Verstappen to take pole. Only to then lose the lead at the start because of the Hard tyres?
