Social media rumour that Albon will race this weekend. Covid positive result for an Alpha Tauri or Red Bull driver

Amazing lap from Russell. He has driven great this year.

 

[Son Of Jack]

Excellent from Russell.

Massive crash for Lando Norris but thankfully he was OK.

 

[Tom]

Most important thing for Russell is that he puts in a solid race today. Doesn't have to finish on the podium but a points finish with some good racecraft.

 

[Crabtree]

Bottas and Norris have both been given 5 place grid penalties

Rookie error from Perez - into the wall on his way to the grid, terminal damage to the front right

Can't see anything but a safety car start. Few laps see can clear some of the water

 

[Bandit]

10 Minute delay at the start.

The rain is torrential.
