Good morning race fans 
I think something to watch for in todays race is tyre strategy. Pirelli's timing shows a slight advantage for a 2 stop, 21 laps on the mediums and two 18 lap stints on the soft but that is only fractionally faster than two stints of 21 laps on the Mediums with a 15-lap run on the red-marked Softs. I think if we see cars running more than 25 laps on the medium they may well switch to the hard tyre for the rest of the race, so just a one stop strategy. Iirc all the top ten cars will start on the medium so unless we see a safety car in the first 21 laps I can't see anyone coming in for tyres before then.
Lewis broke the track record on both the soft and medium tyres so it looks like they are very close. While Albon is still under pressure to keep his seat I am starting to think they maybe Red Bull will keep him for 2021, reports from Mexico are claiming the Perez will announce that he is taking a year off in the next few days and the Hulk has started to talk down the chances of him racing for Red Bull next season, this isn't a done deal until Red Bull say who is driving for them in 2021 but unless Albon makes an arse of himself in the next 3 races I think he has a good chance of staying at the team.

Holy Fuck, full fuel tank. Hope he's OK
Yup.
At Silverstone last season I was right on a corner and a Haas went off and hit the barrier. The noise and impact made the whole crowd wince as one. This was so much worse
How the fuck is he alive

The TV director went straight to protocal for bad accidents. Show anything other than people on fire.
As I understand it, the TV protocol is to show anything but a serious accident unfolding.It always makes it worse when the TV director decides not to show what's going on
