Formula 1 2020

Good news!

 

What a great opportunity for Russell - hope he gets some decent points this weekend.

 

Russell fastest in FP1

 

It will be interesting to see Bottas reaction

 

Listened to it and Bottas sounded well off form. Not convinced he’s doing any better in FP2!

Another British win?

 

Well done Russell, must be a great feeling to get a drive with Mercedes. Did he thank the team

 

George is top in FP2 as well -brilliant - hope he can keep this up. Bottas way down again - that has got to be Bottas out after next year if he can't do better than that in the quali or race.

 

That should liven things up a bit...
Final practice will definitely be interesting.

 

Funny isn’t it. Bottas is only .3 of a second off. Less time than it takes to blink

 

Yeah, the lap is only 54-56 seconds - less time than it takes to...

I think the short lap in itself is going to shuffle the grid a bit cos there is no room for error at all.

Bottas seems rattled, but a good FP3 and he should be ok.

 

Wow that is a short lap. I find the shorter laps brings a bit of excitement

 

Bottas had a brake issue apparently

 

here's my nephew with him in their carting days

 

Who’s him?

 

Tom Fawcette and George Russell. They both did quite well as yoingsters carting but i think the picture shows that Tom just grew too tall at a young age

 

Who’s who?

 

Tom on the left , George on the right

 

Funny how some kid can jump into the "Goat" Hamiltons car having never driven it before, being 5 inches too tall and having to wear a pair of boots a size too small and still be the quickest of the bunch
