Verstappen set a marker down yesterday making pole, hopefully he carries it through the season so we get a competitive sport rather than the Mercedes dominance of recent years.
I'd like to see a close title challenge but it just won't happen imo. Mercedes get stronger as the year goes on and as a result of that, the sport becomes a bit dull for my liking. I'm interested to see how Norris improves on last year and the performances of Schumacher.

Time will tell Dom, but I’m not so sure Mercedes will have it their own way this season, they will probably win the constructors championship, as they have Hamilton and Bottas against Verstappen and Perez (Bottas to beat Perez over the season) but the actual drivers championship I’m not convinced.

One to watch this year will be George Russell. He will be vying for a move to a big team for 2022, and a good season now will put him in a much stronger position.
When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.

If Hamilton wins the Championship and I fully expect him to do so then I think he will retire. Bottas' contract runs out in the summer, along with Hamilton and I have a sneaky suspicion we'll see Russell and Norris both at Mercedes.

Never will you see an ending like that again, absolutely fantastic stuff.

Formula 1’s Aguero moment.
