    Get Involved #bbcf1published at 09:55 British Summer Time 29 June 2018

    What should Ferrari do? And what should Kimi do?

    Raikkonen - the oldest driver on the circuit - has said in the past that he would quit F1 if Ferrari did not renew his contract, despite recent reports suggesting that McLaren might want to take him on.

    That's the focus of today's debate. Two questions to consider: Who should Ferrari go with next season? and if Raikkonen does not get their seat, should he try to stay in F1?

    Give us the reasons being your thinking, please, and tweet using the hashtag #bbcf1. Cheers.

  5. What next for Raikkonen?published at 09:49 British Summer Time 29 June 2018

    One driver under scrutiny this weekend is Kimi Raikkonen, who has arguably lost crucial places on the grid through mistakes in qualifying at each of the past two grands prix.

    Jolyon Palmer, in his BBC Sport column this week, questions whether Raikkonen has a long-term future with Ferrari.

    He writes: "The question marks continue to grow around Raikkonen's future, with his potential replacement Charles Leclerc doing wonders in the Sauber.

    "Raikkonen is on a woeful qualifying run since beating Vettel to the front row in Melbourne.

    "Pretty much every time he's on track at the end of the top 10 shoot-out, the crunch time when the grid is mostly decided, Raikkonen is making mistakes. He has the pace but is constantly unable to deliver under pressure."

  6. On the menu...published at 09:45 British Summer Time 29 June 2018

    Here's today's menu in Spielberg: Two practice sessions, the first in around 15 minutes, at 10:00 BST, and the second at 14:00 BST. Spaghetti is optional.

    BBC Radio 5 live sports extra has commentary from 09:55, with Jack Nicholls and Jolyon Palmer describing the action, and Jennie Gow getting all the news from the pit lane.

  7. 'I don't feel Sebastian needs criticising'published at 09:43 British Summer Time 29 June 2018

    Vettel attracted a lot of criticism after his crash - with many of you (and quite a few in the sport too) feeling that the Ferrari driver had got off lightly with his five-second penalty.

    Hamilton, though, has defended his rival this week.

    "I don't feel like Sebastian needs criticising," Hamilton said.

    "He is a four-time world champion and has won more than most. Everyone jumps at one single fault from any of us."

  8. How they standpublished at 09:38 British Summer Time 29 June 2018

    This is how they stand after France - Vettel had led going into the race, but got himself into all sorts of controversy, crashing into Valtteri Bottas on the opening lap and incurring a five-second penalty - before recovering to finish fifth.

  9. The clear objectivepublished at 09:35 British Summer Time 29 June 2018

    No one quite seems to know whether England losing to Belgium in the football last night was a good or bad thing (that's all to do with how the draw might pan out).

    Hamilton's task in Austria this weekend is a lot clearer. Secure victory, at a circuit where Mercedes have won the past four races, and he can really move clear of rival Sebastian Vettel and take control of the drivers' championship.

  10. After the perfect Sunday...published at 09:31 British Summer Time 29 June 2018

    "Great work guys - so happy for England as well. It is a beautiful Sunday everyone."

    The words of Lewis Hamilton, who enjoyed his sporting Sunday last weekend - watching England's footballers thrash Panama at the World Cup before winning the French Grand Prix to reclaim the drivers' championship lead.

    If there's one lesson that sport teaches everyone, though, it's that triumph can often come before a pratfall...
