We return to F1 this weekend following two strong GP outings by Merc in Germany and Hungary; the story of Hungary was much different that of Germany; Hams took pole, got a great start in the race and pretty much lead from the front through the checkered flag. Ferrari wasn't as fast in the single lap despite Merc giving them all the credit in the world for having the fastest overall package, but tire wear came into play and Merc seemed to be as good if not a touch better on tires, which is unusual. Bottas got into a bit of trouble late into the race, with contact to Ricciardo on a hairpin when he lost front end grip on old tires, which ended up moving him back three spots from where he started the race, taking fifth. Ricciardo played a good tire strategy, going back onto hypersofts late to make up ground on the front-runners going long on the softs via one-stopper. The Ferrari boys did well as always and Kimi ended up getting passed by Vettel as he worked through his own strategy during the race. Verstappen was let down by his gearbox giving him another DNF. In the end, Vettel had some good damage control, Merc stretched the Constructor's lead to 9 and Hamilton stretched his Driver's lead to 24, which will likely come in handy sooner than later. In more important future news, Ricciardo has signed with Renault for 2019, which has firmed up the lineup for yet another team. Red Bull needs to find a driver who could be Sainz given they have an option on him, but they could pull from Toro Rosso as well. Alonso has also finally decided to walk away from McLaren after this season seemingly to chase the last leg of the career Motorsport Trifecta, the IndyCar Indy500. Spa will help folks distinguish themselves more for the remaining seats along with most teams beginning 2019 development efforts. The current Driver's Standing are as follows: Hamilton, Vettel (-24), Raikkonen (-67), Bottas (-81), Ricciardo (-95), Verstappen (-108). Spa should be another great race; it's a power track so Ferrari will try to get back in control of the podium, Red Bull will try to get as many points as possible with strong strategy and rain dancing, Merc is going to try to stretch this lead and the Orange-clad Max fans will be packed in the stands to cheer their boy on in his defacto home GP.

Enjoy your weekends.
