Hamilton should get Kimi and Ricciardo soon enough. Bottas looks capable of keeping Vettel at arms length. Should be a Bottas-Vettel-Hamilton podium unless it gets shaken up by rain or safety cars or loose headrests.

That was my first impression as well. Anthony Davidson thinks it was just absolutely perfect.

Bottas won't hold the pack up. If he's ahead anything less than flat out will leave him at risk to the Ferraris and the last thing Mercedes need is for Vettel to win the race. Too much of a risk for the minimal chance of it benefiting Hamilton.

Some rain potentially forecast. This one could be juicy.

Just noticed out of all the flag smilies how much of a bigger deal the America one thinks it is to be flying the flag than the other countries. Accurate . . #murica

Pole for Bottas. Hamilton 3rd so will start 8th. Bottas, Grosjean, Sainz Hamilton, Raikkonen, Williams

What the fuck was that car doing driving onto the track in the middle of a session?

Are you meant to be having a poo on the Everton towel or are you taking Everton up the bum?

Five place grid penalty for Hamilton this weekend due to a gearbox change: https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/10940938/lewis-hamilton-set-for-five-place-grid-penalty-at-austrian-gp

https://streamable.com/5lbhq love this guy and would fully support him any day in a title fight against Hamilton or Vettel.

https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2017/07/07/everton-potential-europa-league-opponents Just an article from the club about the 2nd round of Europa League qualifying. They've highlighted Galatasaray, Sturm Graz, Hajduk Split and Brondby as the biggest sides we could face when we enter in the 3rd round. Aberdeen, FC Utrecht and Levski Sofia are also in the draw but I don't know if we can't face them due to seeding or whatever. Anyone planning on going on any of the away games in Europe this season (assuming there's more than one)?

4 or 5 to 1

This along with Onyekuru and the French lad must have been high on Walsh's list of hidden gems. With his record I'm thinking some of them got to come good.

Poor Magnussen

Got a new one today.

I read the book "Williams". Definitely would recommend. The story of his life and the F1 team, written by various engineers, drivers, friends and family, very good.

You'd think so wouldn't you but I think that after the bus debacle was just swept under the rug with no consequences for the likes of Farage, politicians have realised that they won't be held accountable for point blank lying to the public due to the pathetic, biased nature of the newspapers meaning that half of them ignore it because that suits their agenda, while the other half lose all credibility by running exaggerated smear campaigns against the party they don't support. As they've now realised this, it seems that they don't even have the shame to try and pretend that they actually believe what they campaign for is in the interest of the country. Pretty dire, to be honest.

On Twitter yesterday the Everton lot were on about being back at Finch Farm for pre-season while Lukaku was tweeting photos of himself in LA. Admittedly, this might have no bearing on anything as it's quite common for international players to come back slightly later after playing in qualifiers a few weeks ago.

I like Funes Mori, he's never particularly replicated his international form on a consistent basis for us though. I'd play Mori ahead of Williams but it's unclear who Koeman prefers between those two and Jagielka.

One possible line up - that would only leave three players from the pre-Koeman era, two if you replace Mori with Williams which is a possibility. Man knows what he wants and knows how to get shit done.

If Southampton are interested that's got sweetener for Van Dijk all over it. Depends if Sakho wants to go there though.

Arouna Kone has joined Sivasspor in Turkey. He was obviously never a good signing for us but I have nothing against him so good luck to him out there.
