Well. i'll start with a 44 and a 3, then a 1 and a 6...

<wave> Greets peeps.

Dry race forecast, will Nico trounce Danny and Seb into the first corner? Will Lewis race off into the distance? Will Danny do a Webber start to leave Seb in a Merc sarnie?

We'll see in an hour or so :)

Hi IFO :)

Yep, should be an interesting tussle between Mercedes and RBR.

Hope McLaren get their fingers out...

Interesting that RBR have 'added their own' bits to the flow regulator which seems to have compromised the seal housing somehow.

The upshot is that the Total petrol they use is corrosive and the seal is affected by this, hence the high rate of failures...

The whole story is weird and don't see why only RB has struggling with that.

I think other teams do it, it's just that the Total fuel affects the seal with Red Bull.

We're just contemplating what to have for breakfast.

Egg and marmite soldiers or a bacon butty...
