    Russell had a decent run to claim second this morning in the F2 sprint race. Most of his overtakes were into turn 1.

    Interestingly they are doing rolling starts and I guess it's because of all the stalls at standing starts this year.

    It's exactly for that reason they have the rolling starts, just for this weekend and next weekend at Silverstone.

    Re: Russell what a weekend he had, he looks right now to have the beating of Norris. Absolutely mugged him at the start.

    And MGU-K as well, they will have been free to make additional setup changes to the car but still could be a tough afternoon for Alonso starting back there.

    Bernie Ecclestone complaining about “silly regulations”? Hi, Mr. Pot, there’s a Mr. Kettle here who would like a word ...

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Good to see Bernie there. Have to everything he says with a pinch of salt

    Horner saying how different the tires will be today with the hotter temperatures compared to Friday. Might require more tire management or catch a few people out

    Ok here we go..
    Hopefully Danny Ric has a better run in the race than quali, and then hopefully Charles and Fernando get into the points.

    Another Lewis win. Might as well switch over to the football soon then.

    Plenty of action at the start, Bottas asleep and now should be a handy win for Hamilton.

    Vandoorne broke another front wing contact with Gasly I think. What happened to Leclerc, was it a mistake or what didn't see a replay of his off

    Alonso still not a happy driver.

    Right 11 laps in and nothing has changed since lap 1. Time to go watch the football.

    Pretty early for a one-stop strategy? How will those Softs be after 55 laps?
