Lewis on pole, so a great chance for him to crank up the pressure on Verstappen.
About time we got a bit of needle in F1, it's been too tame in recent years, let's start getting some edge back into the sport again.

I think Verstappen has already lost the plot to be honest

Thunderstorm forecast for an hour into race.
That'll be a dry race then with rain on the podium.
F3 was absolutely ******* it down this morning and dried up very fast, could be an interesting race

Wet races always add another dimension, that's usually when you see how good these drivers are.

Looking forward to this one. Hoping for an Hamilton win but I like Veratappen - he's a breath a fresh air. Hopefully Norris can finish top 6.

Also mention - RIP to the Marshal at Brands Hatch yesterday and get well soon to Jack Aitken after the horrible smash at Spa - terribly reminiscent of Hubert/Correa one in F2 a few years ago.

I agree on your View about Verstappen,but I just wish he would stop moaning along with Horner and do what he does best......bring out the best in Hamilton.

It was quite funny watching Verstappen blowing his fuse when asked about the incident yesterday, despite him banging on about it for two weeks.

Was funny listening to him swearing in the presser yesterday. Good to see some grit and fight between two great drivers/teams.
Verstappen on softs on the 610m long run to turn one and generally a good starter so could be interesting race if he takes Lewis.

Seems like rain is expected imminently, in fact it's raining slightly now. Will make the start very interesting with no-one on wet tyres.
Early safety car seems very likely.

Can't say that was deliberate but it won't go down well at Red Bull, that's for sure.

Looks like a tough rebuild for Red Bull. Only 20 mins to sort it all out.

There's no timescale for a red flag. Could be less, could be more. Only a bit of debris to clean up

20 mins was mentioned by the commentary team but I agree with you. Who knows at this stage?

Given the conditions, I don't think Bottas will get any sort of penalty.

Bottas, Sergio Perez, Lance Stroll, Charles Leclerc & Lando Norris are the five drivers out of the race.
And they say F1 is boring these days.

If they are resuming just after 2-30 pm, I can't see Red Bull repairing Max's car fully. Although it looks as though they've done very well.

Looks like Max's car is being held together with gaffer tape.

Speed tape me thinks. Probably to smooth off the cracked pieces and give a bit of strength
