@coinlocket$ even if he makes it to the pole then too there’s no guarantee that he’ll finish on the top, hence I’m hoping that he can improve in tomorrow’s race and win so we can continue seeing him and Max duel it out for the title. Furthermore I don’t expect Max to give up in this race so easily, therefore I’m expecting a strong show from him and thus I have lowered my expectations on Charles in case he doesn’t win.

Charles Leclerc had two great practice sessions today. He led both of them and improved his best time in the FP2 also. Sainz and Perez followed him right behind in both sessions but I still can't trust Sainz for this race also. Because he has been making very simple mistakes for some races and I don't know why he has lost his focus this easy. It happened even right after extending his contract for two more years. Ferrari really need him to race at a higher level to fight for the constructors championship.

^ Didn't watch the race but was gifted the LeClerc out, and definitely from Twitter it seems Russell's the fan favourite over Hamilton (but really, even I knew that without watching haha).

I did want the lead in first place to be cut, but not like this. Feels a bit flat, though I suppose it adds to the tension in coming races, if Ferrari engineers actually wake up, of course.

Tight, tight, tight, but well done for yellow cap, casper! Leaderboard is sooo close, and this round only 3 points separating yellow cap from bottom.

I would never underestimate the allure of money. Look at the transfer saga of Mbappe with Real and when everyone thought it was a done deal, PSG offered him the biggest contract in football history and he says yes. Pogba chose money over sports when he joined Manchester United as well, so they are not that different. Players these days don't have the qualities they used to have in the past.
