Italian Grand Prix, and Russia preview 🏁

Ricciardo was so pleased to win, and everyone was pleased for him. Even Norris was pleased, and he'd had to follow team orders and stay in second when he thought he was fastar.

The crash that took out Hamilton and Verstappen was not only clumsy but also annoying. I'd like to see clean racing. I don't think these two agree. They'd rather score nothing than let the other get ahead. They must surely crash some more this year.

Bottas had a good race. Shame he's going to Alfa Romeo where he'll have no chance next year.

Updated stats

This weekend it's Russia, which can be a pretty dull track. I'm glad we don't have to watch Ecclestone being best mates with Putin any longer.

I expect a win for Hamilton, with an outside chance that Bottas's form will carry over and he'll squeeze a win. McLaren will have another good weekend, but no win this time. Verstappen will bide his time because he knows that Mercedes will be faster at this circuit. He knows that he's got better tracks coming up for him.
