'Just when you thought it was safe to get into the Mercedes...'published at 16:47 British Summer Time 1 July 2018
We wondered if the kerbs might spice things up today. We wondered if Daniel Ricciardo would get his perfect birthday present. We wondered if Valtteri Bottas' luck might change. The answers? Maybe, no, and no.

Thanks for your company and comments - as ever. Let's do it again at Silverstone next weekend, shall we?
