Lando Norris is going to have to be weaving his way through the traffic today.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, speaking to Sky Sports about George Russell: "We threw him in cold water and he swam. I expected he would be good. I am not surprised but the level of performance was massive.

"First of all I hope he hasn't got any cars in front of him at the start, only one. We talked about expectations yesterday. I said top five is good for us and that is the same and what I said today. Top five is the minimum."

Tanya Smith: Can we please have a nice uneventful first lap? Don't think I could take anything like last week.

GosBoss: Gonna be a record of how many times the last car is lapped I think.

George Russell's streak of outqualifying his team-mate narrowly ended on Saturday but he's still in pretty good company...

George Russell really is squeezing himself into 5ft 8in Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes.

Just look at the height difference between Valtteri Bottas (who is a touch shorter than Hamilton), sitting in the other Silver Arrow cockpit, compared to 6ft 1in Russell.

Philip West: I really fancy George Russell to win this race. This is a wonderful opportunity & a completely free swing for him. I’d love to see him really go for it, and see what he can accomplish. Great chance to make a statement.

Third in the constructors' championship is also a very lucrative prize still to play for. McLaren hold that spot but have Lando Norris at the back today, while Racing Point will be hoping Sergio Perez can build on his impressive starting spot of fifth.

Perez has two races to save his Formula 1 career and came second two races ago and was third last week before a late fire ended his race.

Kevin Magnussen is in the penultimate race of his Formula 1 career, with him racing in the United States in 2021. But he's still hopeful of some points today.

This most hectic of Formula 1 weeks ends today with what promises to be a race to match, over 87 laps on the shortest circuit the sport has used in years.

Valtteri Bottas starts on pole in the Mercedes, with George Russell, after a highly impressive weekend filling in for Lewis Hamilton following the world champion’s coronavirus diagnosis, in the off-line second spot that caused the Finn so much trouble last weekend.

Max Verstappen looms in third place in a Red Bull that looked extremely competitive in the race runs on Friday. The laps will come thick and fast, tyre wear is expected to be a problem, and strategy could be decisive.

Nick Gisburne: Race day ritual: I always eat a whole box of grapes, starting just before the race. Supposed to last, but I get so excited that my record is 10 laps for the whole box. Shorter laps today, so can I get to 15? Last week ate the lot before 1 complete lap, for obvious reasons!

Let us know how you get on, Nick! Any other unusual pre-race rituals out there?

Verstappen will also be targeting second in the drivers' championship and he's only 12 points behind pole man Valtteri Bottas.

The battle for fourth is a good one, with Daniel Ricciardo, Sergio Perez, Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz and Alexander Albon all still in contention.

Max Verstappen starts third but is on the soft tyres so will be looking for a lighting fast early spell as he hunts out a potential second win of the season.

Britain's Callum Ilott pushed Mick Schumacher to the end but Ilott ends the season second in the Formula 2 Championship, 14 points behind the German.

Mick Schumacher will graduate to Formula 1 with Haas next year as Formula 2 champion despite a difficult final race of the season in Bahrain earlier on Sunday.

The German finished 18th and won the title by 14 points from Britain's Callum Ilott, who was 10th in the race. Schumacher, the 21-year-old son of F1 legend Michael, said he was "a bit overwhelmed".

"I don't really understand I am champion yet," the Prema driver said. "It's going to take a few days maybe."

He said "owed" the title to his team, adding: "It would sound a lot better if we did a good race today. "Nevertheless, we are champion today and people will forget this race and remember the good times this year."

Schumacher, a Ferrari young driver, was racing close to the front in the early stages of the race but damaged his tyres and had to pit to replace them. He returned to the track to set the fastest lap.

The race was won by India's Jehan Daruvala, from Japanese Yuki Tsunoda, who clinched third in the championship behind Schumacher and Ilott.

You will notice the Haas spaces are now filled after the team announced that Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin would be moving up from Formula 2 to Formula 1, replacing Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean.

This week is proving to be a pretty special one for Schumacher...

And Kvyat is one of those very much needing a good weekend. There are only three seats not confirmed yet for 2021 - Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes, Alexander Albon's Red Bull and Kvyat's Alpha Tauri.

Daniil Kvyat was another to be pleased with Saturday's qualifying. Sixth for the Russian.
