There's quite a crowd at this one. I guess Portugal is not under lockdown.

[harrybarracuda]

Oooh light rain predicted on a new surface. This could be interesting. Drivers already reporting spots.

[harrybarracuda]

I would say Hammy definitely does not want to wait until the next race.

[Troy]

That was as comfortable a win as you are going to get from Hamilton.

We have the first "two day F1" at Imola this weekend.

It's going to be a bit busy this morning, as FP1 (currently underway) is also FP2 and FP3. They finish this and go straight to quali this afternoon.

Note that the race starts an hour earlier than usual as well. Check your local listings.

Lewis, Mad Max and Bottas lead the way.

Qualifying in two and a half hours.

Who cares. It is just a joke at this point. A dog and pony show.

Bottas takes the honours again.... Making a habit of peaking too early.





This is rather nice... they've released a free digital programme online.

[Troy]

^ Very nice...thanks.

[harrybarracuda]

It's Lewis' turn for a bad start....

Bottas
Mad Max
Hammy
Ric
Gas
Pepe

[harrybarracuda]

This could be a hell of an undercut

[harrybarracuda]

Who needs it when you have a VSC?

Hammy can pit and come out with a 10 second lead.

[harrybarracuda]

So they think Bottas has floor damage from debris on turn 7... doing a great job of fucking up Max's race though

[harrybarracuda]

And Grumpy's day just went to shit.....

[harrybarracuda]

Well Bottas did a great job there, Max now 2nd with 13 seconds to try and claw back.

Lewis just passed 5,000 laps ahead in F1.... 100-ish laps short of Schumi's record

[harrybarracuda]

Whoa and Max has just blown out. Safety car good for Perez and Ricciardo. Bottas won't be happy.

[harrybarracuda]

Or maybe he will, Bottas pitted first.

[harrybarracuda]

It's all kicking off, Russell went to warm his tyres and parked in a wall, then Stroll hit one of his mechanics.

[harrybarracuda]

The best driver in history keeps making history.

He'll want that leading laps record next. Should be able to do it in the next few races.

[knowsitlike]

Sad day for Albon, hopefully he can get some luck soon or he’ll be out of that RB seat

[harrybarracuda]

I forgot to mention Mercedes have won the Constructors turning handsprings.

Lewis won't be far behind them.

Bottas has to finish in front of Lewis or he equals Schumacher's record for Driver Championships.

[harrybarracuda]

Mercedes letting Mad Max and Pepe have a play. Nice.
