EW&F - I've not properly explored their music. Good album to start with? I think from what I know EWF of what they have produced is pretty good, it is quite a big catalogue. A very tight professional band with a great live reputation. Spot on !

Classic early Bob and the Wailers - He recorded this / Small Axe a number of times but this early pre global fame version is A1 fab and best IMO - Great song writing skill of Bob here in top rebel form - deep !

Was a good race. Superb pass on LH, from the start by MV to snatch the lead.
Really not looking good for Bottas, yet again. Of course it's a long season but I sense even Wolff, who likes him is getting a bit frustrated with his Sunday performance's.
Season shaping up nicely in terms of LH v MV / MB v RB, which is what the fan's want

I fear for Seb, too. If he can't do better than Stroll, he's toast. How Hamilton made that Mercedes look (fairly) stable is incredible. In the free practices, it looked horrible. Yep, sadly Seb has been looking 'flacky' for a good while now, it's a shame. When you think it cant get worse, he's at the heart of another odd incident

I fear for Seb... Bottas could well struggle vs HAM who will drive to the level of the other fastest other driver/car combination, ie VER. BOT won’t be able to raise his game to that level, especially if the car is trickier than he’s used to. That’s my prediction....I could be wrong! Agree - Bottas is a good driver as are so many of the F1 drivers, if not all but he is not exceptional. He is already looking broken, as he has many times before. He may well grab a pole here or there and the odd win but is not at the level, gifting of being able to provide and deliver the consistency that is so difficult to keep up and maintain, especially against the likes of LH. MV steals 2nd podium positions from VB all too often..... I remember Lewis's father's comments, when Bottas took the job as Lewis's team mate, in 2017, after the departure of Rosberg - quote "Anybody who goes up against Lewis needs to have planned their career correctly because it could be a career-ending move when you go up against Lewis," Hamilton Snr told Sky Sports News HQ. "I personally think, while he's getting older and more mature, he's still actually heading towards the prime of his career. So Lewis is going to be a force to be reckoned with this year." "Lewis only ever thinks about winning,"

He stands a better chance than ever before. Mercedes are not going to make it easy for Red Bull. Absolutely correct on both counts. He has the car now, it's defo faster, planted and he's as cosy as a baby wrapped in a fresh quilt, so no excuses. MB, being the class act they are, will do everything and more, non stop, unrelenting, to try and close the gap as well as fight them good and proper, all the way, from start to finish. LH has shown too many times that he will pull it out of the bag, even when the odds are stacked. Looking forward to LH hunting MV down, tomorrow, whenever, even more so if MB can find that little bit more pace for LH to get right up MV's rear end and see how he copes with and unrelenting charge The rule change has brought the pack closer and got MB on the back foot, so the fans now have what they've been whining for. Going to be a cracking season, likely one to remember for a long time I reckon.

Remember me saying that Honda would come good with their engine? They aren't the greatest engine manufacturer in the world without good reason. It was only a matter of time. Shame that they pulled out for 2022, they may regret that decision. Stonking job with that engine by Honda. We could see by the end of 2020 that RB were getting v close. Bringing the improved 2022 engine is just what RB would undoubtedly say they needed. LH said it, loud and clear after testing that the RB was the faster car, going into this season and he wasn't bluffing as the numpties always seem to spout. He said the same when the Ferrari was on steroids for a period. Thankfully LH is never one to give up and has been there, done that and still won races against the faster opposition. He actually looked quite contented and said that he was happy the gap wasn't bigger and I believe him. We have a saying, 'hotter/harder the battle, the sweeter the victory'

Either way I'm buzzin for the season to get underway. Vettel and Aston Martin, Riccie Boy at McLaren, Sainz with Ferrari, Alonso back, Bottas desperate to turn the tide like Rosberg was. Verstappen and now the excellently consistent Perez for Red Bull will definitely be a proper two pronged attack towards Mercedes Benz, much more so than Verstappen-Albon, which was really just Verstappen fighting by himself. Therefore should mean more pressure against Mercedes Benz, most certainly too if they can squeeze a bit more out their car, bringing it nearer / on par with the Merc. And then there's the man himself, LH with that unwavering winning spirit. As always he'll arrive well and truly ready and up for it. It's up to the others to bring the fight, especially as he'll likely be even more motivated than he usually is, in hot pursuit of number eight. Add to that a potentially unprecedented unrelenting 23 race, season and we could have a cracker !
