Sebastian Vettel will not be present at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi today.
The German has received good news. For the third time, the Ferrari driver has become a father.
Leclerc is now alone in the press conference. :cry: . :)

New ICE, MGUH and Turbo, so Bottas will start from the back of the grid. Latest spec.

I hope for once they will go for an agressive strategy regarding engine.
They are always very cautious, but I'd like to see BOT coming back from last to podium at least with a full power engine 8)

Well it had to be a new ICE at least if as reported the had to strip the last one to check it as I couldn’t see them sticking in an old one that was also likely to fail.

They did it with Lewis in Brazil 2017, they just missed the podium.

Bottas should use it as some practice in aggressive overtaking. The 1 thing he really lacks.

Expect somehing like that from the top teams.
E.g. at RBR Alex could race additional pitot tubes,... I think this would be enough to run the equipment in the tyre tests next week. I don't think both cars need to race the equipment, to be allowed to have it in the tests !?

Bottas to start from the back after engine penalty

He's also divorcing his wife. Tough couple of months for him.

That's a shame for the lad, but if it was meant to be this wouldn't have happened. In the long run it will work out for the best.

Also, didn't Rosberg quit to prevent this? Anyway, I now want Bottas to win this weekend and push Lewis all the way next year.

So, my "fool for emotionalness" prediction is now BOT, HAM, HUL.

Lacks relative to who? If you mean relative to his teammate(which is the only fair comparison) then you are forgetting that HAM is also much better at race pace while also maintaining his tires, HAM is also a better at defending, and definitely better in the rain.

Some extra drs passes this weekend won't really help Bottas, he is up against a superhuman or alien type driver in the other Merc.

That's a shame. Only been married three years although together for much longer.

With a fresh engine and more experience at Yas marina than at other flyaway races, I think LEC will get pole. But because of superior tire wear in the race I think HAM will take the win.

2)LEC
3)VER
