Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Every day is a gift, that's why we call it "the present".

Vettel may have aided LeClerc's win by staying out to slow Lewis. This arguably cost Seb a podium, proving what really makes a champion.

The last races of the season are going to be really close I think. Ferrari will be quick on some tracks, Mercedes on others, and Red Bull will likely be the best on at least three of the remaining circuits.

Important for Lewis to keep the points coming - we can do without late surges from Ferrari or Red Bull making life complicated!

six rounds to go, Ferrari in the ascendancy and some Red Bull tracks amongst those still to come.... Come on Lewis - think tactically now, the 6th title is within your grasp but not certain by any means....

Almost there......

Meanwhile the battle for 3rd, 4th and 5th is interesting (possibly 2nd too but Valteri's win on Sunday has put some daylight between him, the Ferrari twins and Verstappen).

A track where actual racing takes place

Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton, what an incredible season again.

The Williams is being launched today. One can't help but feel this is a a massively important year for this once great marque.

At least it has to be an improvement on last year.....

Big question: will the Grand Prix season even be completed?

The Chinese GP has already been postponed (likely cancelled). We saw countries stopping flights to/from China. If that happens to Japan or Italy or the UK anywhere else the teams, engine suppliers, technicians, engineers etc etc are based, then one or more teams can't take part.

I was thinking only of the audience. And my thinking was that they could perform the race without live audience and just send it on TV. But without any crews getting to the location it is, of course, not possible to go ahead.

Arguably the greatest F1 driver not to be World Champion.

Vettel and LeClerc locked horns repeatedly and they weren't even driving for 3rd place overall. If Ferrari strategists can't put together more than three race wins this season, then LeClerc may eventually follow Vettel.
