I am tempted to return to the visionary words of The Great Prophet, the Seer, the Oracle of Chicanes, His Holiness Pope Nico of Rosberg from whom we learned last week:
"Max Verstappen is starting to understand better and better how good Lewis Hamilton is."
I suspect this is true.

Slight chance of rain around 11am tomorrow but doesn't look like any during the race.
OK guys I'm out of here see you tomorrow for what looks like a good race, will be interesting to see how the tyres hold up, looking at it now it seems like it could be a 1 or 2 stop race depending on how well the tyres hold out.

100 poles. That’s one hell of a milestone.

Someone pointed out on twitter that there have been 1039 F1 Championship events, I'm sure you can do the maths. Pretty amazing.

When the world came apart, where were you?
100 pole positions is almost mind-blowing when you think about it.
In my racing career I never once got on pole (front-row, yes but I'd qualified second) which leads me to conclude that I probably wasn't as good as Lewis Hamilton is.
Side note: I was on pole in a repecharge once where I learned that there is a degree of skill in leading the pack round the formation lap - a skill I clearly lacked. I deliberately went slowly but it turned out that 90% of race pace (which seemed slow to me) wasn't quite slow enough. As I approached the grid there were still drivers leaving the pits...

Another point in his super license and an academic 3 grid place penalty.

Spanish GP: Nikita Mazepin penalised by stewards for impeding McLaren's Lando Norris in qualifying
Lando Norris was delayed by the Haas rookie at the end of his first lap in Q1 amid traffic jam at the final chicane; Mazepin, who qualified last, given academic grid penalty but also picks up a superlicence sanction point

It seems to me the stewards penalties are influenced by who the driver is, despite their denials that this is the case. Mazepin only needs to fart in the wrong direction to get points this year.
On the other end of the scale, LeClerc seems to be one with a golden halo who can do no wrong.

In Mazepin's case they're probably right to look for reasons to give him points. He's so far out of his depth as to be dangerous and Haas aren't going to drop him - get him off the grid before someone gets killed ffs.
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
If he gets enough points to get it revoked, how long does that keep him out? Just wondering what impact, if any, it'd have on Daddy Mazepin's plans. My understanding is he's been trying to own a team for a while (lost out to Stroll when Force India came up for grabs?), but wondering if his kid getting the boot might sour him on the idea.

Let's show Marzipan some lurve.
Every sport needs a bogeyman - the character the audience wants to boo and hiss. It counter-balances the diabetes-inducing sweetness of regular fandom and everyday heroes.
We are, after all, Beelzebub's children, and Beelzebub has a purpose for us all. In Marzipan's case, that's to introduce a much-needed element of risk, random disaster and bad luck for the other nineteen drivers.
I say, Rah! for Marzipan, and may every point on his super-licence be a glorifying testament to the success of Lord Beelzebub's Plan.

Young Yuki has a lot of spunk, that's good to see in a young Japanese driver there almost always silent and just stay under the radar. but I bet he went to bed last night having been given a massive bollocking by Franz Tost. Judging by drive to survive Tost wouldn't have held back.

Remember when we thought like this about Grosjean? Although he wasn’t a great success he did settle down eventually.Let's show Marzipan some lurve.

Marzipan’s father is very rich, that’s enough reason not to like him.

What odds are there on Lewis leading into turn 1? Such a long drag down the straight and he’s not been starting as well as Max recently.
I hope it doesn’t happen, but I can see Max getting the lead off the start line. Also quite noticeable in the pre race interviews was Bottas saying how important it is for him to get a win today, to get himself into the title race before it becomes the Lewis v Max show. I hope he doesn’t let this pressure tempt him into a first corner lunge

It will be an interesting start, Bottas will get a double tow and is on the side of the track with a rubber down, I almost never bet against Lewis so I'm sticking with Lewis out front around the "first corner".
