Watching F1 channel. FP2 looks to be in real danger of being washed out as well.

Where's Stroll?
What's Hulk doing in the Racing Point? Fog cancels practice on Friday, now this! What the H is going on? What's the deal with Lance?

Lance will not participate in practice as he feels “not well”.

Sick enough that Nico substituted in again. No practice, straight to qualifying. Car still set for Lance. He made a good effort, but was still Q20.

They called him Hulkenback
 He arrived at the track in his personal 911 GT2RS That he bought from Nico Rosberg’s dad.

Slight surprise for pole.
Once again LeClerc does an amazing job for Ferrari.

A solid clean run for Hulkenberg and great points day for RP. Riccardo another solid performance and even Grosean got a point .

I went to this race in 2004. The track is awesome and you really don't get the amount of elevation change from TV.
Yet another race decided by a free pitstop under VSC. That rule has to change. Hammy made zero pitstops under Green, while competitors lost track position during their pit stops. I'd hardly count this a win.

I thought it was a great race. 25% of the field retired. During the first half, cars were dropping like flies for mechanical issue, including the sister cars for all three podium places.
The safety car really set up a NASCAR finish with lots of great racing. Yeah, Hamilton lucked into two non-green pit stops, but there have been plenty of races he's been leading where it has screwed him as well. Glad to see Hulkenberg do so well. Someone needs to hire him. He's the consummate professional showing up just in time for qualifying and delivering a solid result in the race for a team that discarded him.

Few points:
- "Crofty" is really getting on my nerves. He's got the british commentating style of never shutting up and acting overexcited, total chatterbox, I really miss our boys Matchett/Hobbs /varsha/Diffey... Karun chandock (not here this time) and Nico Rosberg are MUCH better commentators and understand the technical stuff so much better it's not even funny.. Listening to Nico decode what Ricciardo was trying to not reveal post race was awesome... - 1/2 the field at some point was telling their race engineer to shut up, too much coms. Please FIA ban all coms again, use pit boards, no more radio at all, let the drivers manage and the smart ones will manage better ! - Drivers: Lots of people here slag Grosjean, but the guy drove his ****box Haas to 9th, ahead of Vettel, only one spot behind the much lauded Hulk in his carbon copy racing point Mercedes. With 9 fingers. Better than say Giovanazzi... And kudos to Ricciardo, can't wait to see the tattoo ;-) Albon is a sweet kid with a good head for passing, but he's doing worse than Gasly was. Not sure how long they're gonna stick with him... - Would have been cool and fair of HAM to exchange the Schumi helmet for his, on the spot, with Mick there...

Why is it that when the rare Mercedes mechanical failure does happen it is to Botas, and never Hamilton. He should be close to 70 race finishes with just one retirement. That is why he is at the top of the heap, his luck is just overwhelming. No one can honestly say he is not a great driver, no doubt he can always get the best out of his car. Just lady Luck is always smiling on him. Has any other driver won a F1 race with just three tires for 1/2 a lap?

I think he is nearly at or over 70 races in a row that he finished in the points with the exception of one race. So 70 finishes, in the points verses one retirement. That is darn lucky.
