    When Manny did it originally he ended it before quali. Whe he quit and I took up the slack I changed it to after Q3, then at the beginning of this season I asked the forum which way it should be done, and the consensus was to end it between FP3 & Q1.

    Voted for Vettel again. Hopefully last week was a misnomer on my trick.

    I flew into Siberia on a converted Russian bomber back in 2005, including a glass nose cone. The published maps had strategic cities in the wrong place in an effort to confuse spies.
    Anyway, one of the most interesting places I have ever been too. I won't bore you but I learned a lot about Russia on that trip. Best bit was walking into a supermarket in Siberia and as I did, on the right was a life size cardboard cut out of David Beckham...that is branding!!

    I'm here, first time on Formula weekend.
    Now - FP1 on F3, while waiting Formula One!

    P.S.: Please, don't say it do D.C. or I lose my Heineken... Again...

    **** happens when I cross the iron curtain, it's safer for humanity if I stay this side of it. I don't want to be in iron any more civil uprisings or wars.

    The rumor mill is at work suggesting that McLaren may be switching back to Merc for 2021! Announcement may be this weekend!

    By then Ferrari, Honda and Renault would have overtaken them. I wonder if Racing point are switching then?

    Also I wonder if Mercedes might be on the path to withdrawing as a manufacturer to concentrate on FE. I believe they have announced their road cars will nolonger research and develop Interal combustion engines in a big step to electrification.

    Announcing a switch to Merc this early for 2021 would screw their 2020 season, better to announce mid next year.

    Honda and Renault would be doing the same with their road cars. I can't see Ferrari lagging behind in this development either. When you look at the acceleration of the electric powered cars Ferrari would be left standing if they stayed with internal combustion ( I am talking road cars).

    After the Mercedes performance in Singapore (they did drop the ball) I wonder if they are missing Nikki. I wonder to what extent did he give them self belief.

    Apparently next year might be the last race at Sochi. Shame, I actually like this track and venue

    Almost certain.

    Albert Fabrega looks to have almost confirmed a done deal on Twitter, and he isn’t far off the mark.

    Two things possibly at play here: 1) Mercedes shifting focus to Formula E across the next decade and 2) Renaults future may look bleak
