    Is Racing Point not a Canadian team? Where's Oh Canada?

    Absolutely. Makes the contract negotiations a lot easier for him.

    Add another zero there lads.

    And hopefully any nonsense talk of him only beating a poor teammate and being a Saturday warrior is put to bed. Measured, got the move done on Bottas when he needed to (twice) made zero mistakes.

    Thought Racing Point was Canadian?
    Anyway delighted to hear they sent up a Jordan man to the podium.

    I know where they are based but where are they registered? For example Red Bull is Austrian but based in UK.

    Yeah. I think his performance will have done him the world of good long term, and Mercedes will be looking at him in their lineup for 2022.

    Russell must be guaranteed a Mercedes seat in 2022 otherwise someone would have poached him by now.

    Would be hilarious if red bull managed to poach him.

    Ps... I know this won’t happen but a boy can dream

    Delighted for Perez - Sergio has raced well all season and again today out raced Lance.

    I fear from the way Sergio was talking that he is not racing next year which is a travesty.

    Russell deserves another run next weekend and it's probable considering the number of hurdles Lewis has to get past.

    Russell to replace Bottas next season ??

    A little embarrassing hearing Omar talking up Lance imho

    Toto hilariously calling it a "colossal **** up" live on Sky. Simon Lazenby nearly crapped himself

    After that showing I would say Lewis will have to retire before Russell gets a Merc seat.

    Hamilton will be there next weekend. If there’s one thing he likes doing it’s overcoming the toughest of odds.

    Russell won’t replace Bottas. Not even a remote chance of it.

    He has to return 4 consecutive Negative tests and he still has symptoms until either yesterday or today

    If Lewis sticks around for 2022 then I can't see them keeping Bottas and will bring in Russell then.

    Yes but he will over come though odds. Probably have a flat tyre on the way to get the test too but somehow he’ll manage it.

    Open to correction but covid rules in Bahrain mean he can't leave before Thursday and only if he has a negative test. Then needs a dispensation to enter Abu Dhabi.

    While Russell was talking to Sky you could see Perez in the background being interviewed still holding his trophy

    Why can't they make bigger face masks in F1. Lawrence Stroll looks like he's wearing a kids one!
