With no Lewis Hamilton, isolating because he has Covid-19, Valtteri Bottas has a great chance of winning.

Valtteri Bottas will face questions over his ability if he is beaten by George Russell. George Russell was just 0.026 seconds off pole in qualifying.

Also, Lewis Hamilton has won his seventh world title but second place has only 12 points separating Valtteri Bottas and Max Verstappen.
There's also a fight for fourth with Daniel Ricciardo, Sergio Perez, Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz and Alexander Albon all in contention.

The circuit is short with lap times under a minute. Lot of bunching up, so it could be an interesting race.

Chaos at the start. Low grip with cold tyres. Valtteri Bottas has lockup and slides.

Would have been interesting if Valtteri Bottas had been replaced, not Lewis Hamilton. George Russell versus Lewis Hamilton?

**SteveB** · 06-12-20, 18:00

George Russell pits. That should be him to end of race.

**SteveB** · 06-12-20, 18:05

Valtteri Bottas pits. Out back in second.

**SteveB** · 06-12-20, 18:09

Nicholas Latifi Williams's has stopped. Virtual Safety Car.

**SteveB** · 06-12-20, 18:10

Car recovered and racing again.

**SteveB** · 06-12-20, 18:19

Jack Aitken loses front wing.
Full safety car.
Both Mercedes pits for medium tyres. But disaster from Mercedes. Wrong tyres on George Russell's car. Unbelievable.
