Our little girl is due tomorrow. Fuck.

What was the verdict on qualifying yesterday? I was out, thought Hamilton was nailed on for pole but not even the top Mercedes? Maybe he deliberately qualified behind Max to decrease the risk of getting torpedoed on lap one.

I saw someone describe us as Chelsea-lite a few months ago because there are some quite strange similarities in the way both clubs operate. It seems like, similar to Chelsea, we've got this policy where if something goes wrong it has to be because of the manager and everyone else survives. I still think we've only backed Puel because Benitez shunned us. You seem to have a similar kind of issue. I'm regularly updated by a Chelsea fan I talk to on what's going on there and it seems almost baffling from the outside. It's frustrating as hell when you see so many people calling for managers heads but letting everyone else off. Clubs need to act quicker this summer. We've not got the time. Especially with the World Cup as well. I wonder if you're going to have a year like 2015/16. You've probably got too much talent to bail you out of it but you seem almost stagnant to me with very obvious problems.

After Liverpool fans, moths have to be the most annoying and pointless creatures on the planet. I swear that bastard fluttering around my ceiling every time I try and go to bed and hiding whenever I get up to sort him out is the 5th one that's made it's way in here this weekend.

Another terrible Grand Prix. Time to bring Bernie back so he can push through the rule that every track should have sprinklers installed that come on at random during a race.

same. it was hyped up to be a great one after yesterday's quali but it was anything but! just another procession. Only excitement was first lap with Hartley & Stroll's collision and then towards the end when Hamilton was chasing down Ricciardo. I swear every driver was put off by the chequered flag being done early as well. What a mess that was

The very, very best of British Luck. You’ll fucking need it X

Bottas deserved his front-row placing. Verstappen kept up with practice form and speed and is probably good for a podium spot if RB play their strategy right and he behaves. Wonder what the odds are of Verstappen hitting someone with the front of his car and the commentators describing it as a 'head-butt'? Hamilton looked a bit off the pace but no doubt his experience will get him in contention for a podium too.

So right now, in most countries, the bank holds people's savings and lends out money. They work on a basis that if Mr A, Mr B, Mr C and Mr D all have £100 in their accounts then the bank "owes" them £400 overall when they want their money. However, if Mr E wants to borrow £200 from the bank for 12 months, they can lend them the other people's money in the knowledge that they probably won't all want to withdraw their cash during those 12 months. On a larger scale the assumption is that even if a bank only "has" 10% of the money in their customers accounts, enough people will be putting money back into their accounts to satisfy the financial needs of all of the money leaving the bank through withdrawals and transfers. Well sort of. So now rather than bank accounts and loans being essentially a massive list of who owes who hypothetical money at some point in the future, in Switzerland they will be more like an actual money exchange service where you go and ask for a loan of €10,000 and the bank can't give it to you unless there is at least €10,000 of savings around? I do think I'm following you but I don't think I've explained it back very well....

He will hit the wall of Champions tomorrow! Anyway, not having the greatest car for this track, but still qualifying on pole. What a true master Seb is. Unbelievable.

Just discovered the Goo Goo Dolls. Where have they been all my life.

There is no rush. The new manager, if there is one, wont have much say on new players so he just needs to be in place when the main players return from the world cup. Courtois was genuinely shocked by the clubs announcement of ending contract talks. Simon Johnson has stated the player still thinks he will be at Chelsea as he has one year left. Me thinks if he is, Roman is in the mood to make an example of him. I like almost all other Chelsea fans I know are still of the opinion its bye bye time for him. As ever he continues to love a microphone in front of him giving an in depth interview on the concussion news from Loris Karius. I was disappointed to hear Jody Morris has chosen to leave the club and join up with Frank. While I can fully under stand he probably gone as far as he could in our system, I am and always will be a bit of a Chelsea family dreamer & would love one of our own filtering through to either support the hot seat or take the chair themselves. Jody had built a wonderful reputation through his time with our youth team and its no surprize Frank has snapped him up. I am hoping John replaces Jody. Amazing how many players we continue to be linked too considering how its been proved over the last month how much the media, both written and TV, know about the decision making at our club. 6 months since it started, they have given up guessing the day Conti will be moved on. Nobody got the Courtois bonbshell & most at one time or another have said Hazard was on his way to join up with his hero at Real.
