    Engerland! Oops, sorry! Wrong competition.

    Hamilton. He will be very fired up. The updated car looks fearsome. Did I mention he will be fired up?

    Hamilton is due some bad luck here, as he's had loads of it in the past.

    But I'm not brave enough to vote against him here.

    If this weather keeps up you might get some spicy track temps and another tyre war!

    Interestingly Verstappen has bought a couple of hard tyres with him and is the most “conservative”- they won’t get pole but Red Bull might have a very strong Sunday.

    If Bottas gets some luck his shiny new PU this weekend could help him to the win. Every little helps and he deserves the rub of the green finally.

    His last engine, can you imagine the melt-down if, 1/3rd of the way through the season, Hamilton had used all his?

    Bottas has the look of an evil genius. Maybe he's biding his time waiting for an optimal level of tin foil hats.

    Verstappen crashes in FP2, to the surprise of nobody. Leclerc is quicker than Ericsson, to the surprise of nobody.

    Horrible crash for Brendan Hartley after a major suspension failure in FP3. Thankfully he’s okay.

    Wasn't it a Toro Rosso that lost both front wheels in the braking zone a few years ago?

    Yeah at the end of that 1km straight in China. Hit the brakes and both front wheels foxtrot Oscar'd. He carried on steering though, despite having no wheels, commitment to the cause.
