Perez ruled out of British Grand Prix after testing positive for Covid-19

Who will replace him I ponder

[Big Kev]

Their reserves are Stoffel Vandoorne and Esteban Gutierrez

[w00dsy]

They'd have to go with Stoffel.

[KNAPPO]

Pitty they wont throw Russell into the Tracing Point, would be interesting to see how he'd go.

[StanDaam]

the Tracing Point

My fancy has been tickled!

[Duke]

[durbster]

That's adorable.

I'm surprised about Perez as they seemed to be deploying all the measures to avoid somebody getting it, particularly a driver. Just goes to show how easy it is to contract it.

[w00dsy]

Looks like Hulk is returning. How cool would it be if he finally gets a podium.

[r8response]

Nico has been confirmed.

[Duke]

The Hulk is back, yeah baby!!!

‘I followed all the instructions’ - Perez

He went out to a popular restaurant in Mexico with family and friends, and was taking photos with fans. Went on holidays in Italy, then his wife deleted the pics from her Instagram after he tested positive.

Bummer.

Russell hit with five-place grid penalty

[Duke]

The Mercs are just shitting on the rest.
The Maggots & Beckett's corners are just breathtaking.

[pixelboy]

It's on rails. Either they are cheating or the other's are idiot's!

[r8response]

[Big Kev]

That'll be a pub quiz question in a few years!

[w00dsy]

Well that went from boring to exciting pretty quickly.

[nutty]

Yeah decided to tape after the last race so i could fast forward the boring bits. good move as I did a lot of fast forwarding after the stops until about 4 laps to go.

[KNAPPO]

Went to bed bored shitless, will watch the last laps today.

[DarrenM]

Spicy finish. Sounded like they're supposed to have softer tyres next week so I guess it'll be 2 stoppers all round.

Not sure I buy RP's story about Hulk's car. When's the last time a team couldn't get their car running for the start of a race? Maybe Hulk's neck wasn't up to the job?

[durbster]

Yeah something odd about the Hulk situation. As far as I could see they didn't seem to be trying to fix the problem which is unusual, and if he's racing next week then surely they could have got it going and sent him out to get some laps in.

I was knackered after a heavy Saturday night so was drifting off a bit until the end. My son's starting to take an interest now so it was good for him to see one of the classic finishes, but I could do with a bit more action in the race.
