Ooooh, itā€™s getting closeā€¦!! And if the potential addition of Mugello and Algarve happens, so much the better!

Even our mate in the shed is excited:

And like the top comment on the video says:

F1: Adds Mugello to calendar
Codemasters: Guess weā€™ll just die

This popped up in my feed today. Itā€™s 5 months old but Tommo has some great predictions, some of which I even alluded to myself (pat on the back there for you, oltman! Good boy!)

The only ones yet to play out is Bottas to Renault (@Solitude would be so happy!) And Russell to Mercedes (I would be so happy!)

Also, I woke up this morning thinking it was Friday practiseā€¦ turns out it was just another cold wintery Thursdayā€¦

So amped for this weekendā€™s racing! But I have another prediction: next weekend will be cancelled after someone from this weekend tests positiveā€¦ :neutral_face:

Iā€™ll be very happy indeed if Bottas goes to Renault. :smiley:

Canā€™t wait for practice.
