10s penalty for gaining an advantage for Lewis Hamilton is fair. No additional penalty points based on penalty guidelines so the time penalty is the sum of it. #F1

When the PepsiCo deal was launched, there were a lot of suggestions the nose in the helmet in the associated video belonged to Daniel Ricciardo. I asked the question and can confirm, it is NOT Daniel, though there is certainly a similarity! #F1

The worst of the weather is behind us. There's a few isolated patches of rain now, but nothing like we saw earlier. Likely to be wet throughout. This system is moving east (left to right on the radar). #F1
