I'd get rid of Albon and get him in the Red Bull.
Albon is full of promise but a bit erratic. Some of this is down to mechanical issues tbf but he is way off Verstappen. I doubt there are many bar Lewis that are on a level with Verstappen at the moment but the Red Bull #2 driver should be better.

Sex change op. Coming soon, “Tessa’s Notebook”.
You beat me to it. I was just about to post a wildly uninformed and foolish comment speculating that Vettel’s pace drop this season might be a result of arguments between him and the team over lack of a new contract offer, and him signing off with a big FU by scoring as few points as possible. If that’s the scenario, I wouldn‘t be surprised to see Ferrari swap him out before the end of the year and they will need a fast, experienced driver with recent race experience.
I wonder how the Hulk would look in red?

Didn‘t Bottas beat him marginally, last race?
Possibly? In my head he held him off
Lewis is still my tip for the win.
Valerie a likely second.
^ hardly long odds on that
Rest is impossible to call.

Held him off, certainly, but Bottas closed a little on him. I would imagine Lewis will find a way past, hope so anyway
The romantic version is Lewis and Botty tripping over each other and Hulk taking his maiden win.

Nothing we have not already been saying but Ferrari must be considering moving him on soon. No doubt the Tifosi and Italian press are being much more brutal than most.

He’s a very silly boy. Or rather, his race engineer is, since Ocon made sure the world knew it wasn’t his own fault.
What these cars really need is some kind of proximity warning display on the dashboard linked to the circuit GPS.
This sort of thing should be covered by technology and team. There is a LOT going on in the cockpit and in the pits so will always happen.

I’ve high hopes for the race today. I don’t think last weekend’s somewhat processional race (up to the last few laps) will reoccur. Hulk managing to sneak past one of the Mercs off the line would set the tone in a nice way, and let’s face it, Hulkenberg has such goodwill from the fans right now, he’s virtually assured of winning “Driver of the Day“ unless he somehow manages to crash into and kill a passing busload of nuns and orphans.
The fragile tyres and increased number of pitstops should mix things up a bit and I’d bet my right arse cheek Lewis will somehow force his way past and take the win. Wish I could be there at Silverstone to see it live!

Doubt I would have blagged any tickets for it again but would have loved to have been there. The anniversary race in glorious weather. Lewis edging towards official GOAT status, Mclaren getting competitive finally and hosting a promising British driver. George Russell looking good even in a Williams. AND Ferrari giving the LOLs

But he'd still be a shoo-in for DOTD if any of those orphans isn't wearing a mask on public transport...

My all time favourite driver. Although Jochen Rindt is a close second.Makes you wonder how they ever managed before all this technology.

Good morning race fans, looks like tyres could make the difference today as it is going to be a 2 stop race after what happened last weekend. Is Max the first driver (in the top ten) ever to have qualified on the hard tyre? I can't think if anyone having done it before. He thinks its the best choice but as all the top ten cars are very likely to 2 stop I'm not sure his gamble will pay off. I think the fastest way will be medium (15 laps), medium (15 laps), hard (I think Max will go hard, medium, medium maybe even sofy for last stint if he can run long enough on the hard).
Anyway it looks like it will be interesting at the start (first 10 laps) and I hope also for the last 10, midfield could be interesting with two stop, safety cars will also play a big part in pitstops depending on if and when they appear.

Things are getting tetchy - this whole Racing Point story is going to get nasty.

I have the fear for Hulk. Always liked him as a driver and he has been excellent in this last minute call up. Last race was cruel and will be gutted if someone (looking at you Grosjean and Vettelanyways for the love of god Hulk have a good Race ...
) take him off or he gets another mechanical issue.
