    So, who wins? Bookies have Hamilton fav, and probably hard to look passed him on his home track.

    Be interesting if LeClerc can make a place or two at the start.

    I saw the Ben Edwards cockpit commentary with Lando Norris driving the McLaren. It was amazing to watch.

    The wheel from the car was nearly knackered as it was showing some flames when it finished the lap.

    Very disappointed in Vettel. This should have been the race to get him motivated considering he won it last year and yet he only qualified 6th. Not looking good for him if it keeps going like this. Eddie Jordon saying him a Lewis will do a swap and some stage. I can not see that happening anytime soon. I could see Vettel retire before that. I think Vettel seems to have lost his killer instinct.

    I would like to see Leclerc or Bottas win the race.

    Just hoping we get a good race because qualifying was very boring one of the worst in a while.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Thought the Toto-Southgate feature was very good on C4. They seem like two clued in managers; both people and process management.

    Chris Grayling in attendance. What disasters can he conjure up today?!

    Grid walk would be better is they focused on getting info from more technically involved people. Feck the celebrities!

    They should limit the amount of nobodies on the grid.

    Suppose its probably a money racket for them.

    Would like to see some former/current drivers, etc being interviewed

    Also didn't like Brundle running through people and knocking off them.

    Also limit the broadcasters to 5 people max on the grid. Sky must have around 20 including cameramen, sound people etc

    Oh Jesus. Verstappen's end plate on his car is cracked as he went to the grid. I hope that the team will get fixed quickly.

    I actually think Steve Jones has done a good job this weekend and has not being annoying as he normally is.

    Don't see any chance of rain strong enough to necessitate inters or wets. The big unknown is the tyre degradation, 1 stoppers will have some ugly tyres at the end but can see the teams preferring that given the time loss on the extra stop.

    I'm really enjoying the channel 4 coverage too. Webber was a class act when describing the Verstappen trouble on the grid. I don't think Brundle would have known the routine in a situation like that. It's been a long time since he's been in the cockpit, I wonder is that starting to show. He is of course, an excellent broadcaster and still has a keen eye. If only we could pair him with Webber or Coulthard.

    He gets flak but I much prefer him to his Sky counterpart Simon Lazeby. Jones seems to actually enjoy being there in stark contrast to Lazenby who has an eternal look of ambivalence on his face, as if the whole thing is an annoyance to him

    Charlie Whiting's son to start the race, that's a nice touch

    The dynamic cameras on rails look stylish but I find it harder to follow what's going on.

    Maggots-Becketts-Chapel is an excellent sequence of corners.

    I was praying for Grosjean to retire, have a double on him as first retirement and a Hamilton win. A bigger contact would have been sweet

    What were they thinking cutting away mid overtake to show the crowd when Hamilton was having a go at Bottas. Stupid dope of a director

    I hope the Bottas/Hamilton fight helps LeClerc to catch up
