    Russell has already said there is nothing imminent in terms of a deal with Mercedes for 2022.

    But god is there a lot of winding up on social media from both Russell / Mercedes today

    If a deal doesnt happen at any point this season, it'll be more of a shock to the system than if it gets announced at this stage.
    Get the feeling it's going to be announced after Hungary in the summer break. And I could see a Kimi announcement then too .
    Retirement with Bottas replacing him? - Or another new deal?

    Could easily see Bottas to Alfa as a goer , don't think they'll promote Pourchaire from F2 this year despite his talent.

    Thanks mate, really appreciate it. We managed to get booked into a hotel in Wallingford, about 40 mile from Silverstone but means we can have a few beers Saturday night and don't have too far a drive in the morning.

    Of course, if your beer taps are on, that's a different story!!

    BIL has bailed on me for Sunday now. He caught Covid at the Germany game and although is now clear, still feels rough and is reluctant to go to another big crowd event.

    Part of me agrees with him, I'm due to be going on holiday Monday week and don't want to catch it but part of me is guuted, not just because £600 worth of tickets are going to waste.

    I must admit, I like this new format. Making Friday a significant/competitive day is surely a financial no brainer.

    The person who wins the Sprint race, starts from 1st on Sunday?

    Cheers I thought that was the case, was just listening to commentary and Crofty made me doubt myself.

    I probably wasnt listening to him properly

    Sorry mate, just seen this. They’ve sold now, managed to get £620 for them, which is a result as we’ve only lost £30. Still gutted.

    He's got a great chance to be a nuisance tomorrow and Sunday if he can replicate that in Q3

    I thought I also read they only get 1 set of softs for Q3, did they use them for the first run?
