Thank you,Amanda.

Personally I like this Track (the only Track in the F1 PC Game Series,where I drive the full Weekend/Race,I love the Day/Night Changes) and the Trackmodifications/Changes seems to be very good.

- removing ths "tricky" Chicane before Turn 6 is awesome,many Overtakes and "Crashes" are predictable.
- Hopefully they make 3 - 4 DRS Zones.

Lewis Hamilton has entered into negotiations with Mercedes for a contract for 2022. Rather interestingly he said he will only sign a new contract if Valtteri Bottas remains as number 2 driver. I think Lewis is rather scared that he will be shown up if George Russell gets the number 2 seat.

Was reported on Sky News this morning here is a website also saying pretty much the same. Only difference is it doesn't say Bottas is a deal breaker just says he wants Bottas to stay.

This is an Interview with Hamilton,where he "supports" Bottas:
https://www.motorsport-magazin.com/...e-russell-mercedes-fantastischer-teamkollege/

Rumors have been swirling for weeks about Valtteri Bottas being replaced as the second Mercedes driver after the 2021 Formula 1 season. Lewis Hamilton is now voicing his support for the Finn: In his opinion, a change is not necessary at the moment.

Hamilton supports beleaguered Bottas

Valtteri Bottas is getting more and more into trouble at Mercedes after the poor results of the Formula 1 season so far. He is only in fifth position in the world championship and things also seem to be groaning a bit between Bottas and his team. At the last Grand Prix in France, for example, he loudly grumbled about the strategy, and in Barcelona he defied his team's instructions. In addition, there has been rumblings in the media for some time, where many are already expecting the runner-up to be replaced by George Russell in 2022.

Bottas is receiving prominent support within the team to ensure that doesn't happen. Lewis Hamilton spoke out Thursday in a press conference on the sidelines of the Styrian GP in favor of Bottas staying with Mercedes next season. "He's a fantastic teammate," the world champion effusively praised the Finn.

Hamilton: Nothing has to change

"We both have ups and downs in our careers," said Hamilton, putting Bottas' run of failures in 2021 into perspective. Over the course of the first eight Grands Prix, Bottas collected just 59 points and thus has less than half of Lewis Hamilton's points to his credit. In both the qualifying and race duels, the nine-time Grand Prix winner is far behind with 2:5 and 1:6 respectively.

Nevertheless, when asked about the driver pairing, Hamilton stressed, "I don't necessarily see why anything needs to change." He did not want to comment at all on Mercedes junior George Russell, who is the first contender for a place at Mercedes.

Bottas and the rumor mill

Already in the winter, after Russell's successful Mercedes drive in Sakhir, there was speculation about Valtteri Bottas being replaced at Mercedes before the 2021 season. Unfounded, as it turned out. Bottas still had a contract and Mercedes saw no reason to terminate it.

Then, at the beginning of May, the second wave of rumors emerged. This time - based on British media - many saw a replacement for Valtteri Bottas, which was supposed to take place before the end of the season. Mercedes abruptly denied it. The credo: No driver would be replaced in their team during the season.

In June, a report from Sky Italia once again fueled the rumor mill surrounding the Finn. The Italian sports medium claimed that the end of Valtteri Bottas' relationship with Mercedes at the end of this year was already a done deal. However, there is still nothing official about this. According to Mercedes, a driver decision for the second cockpit is not expected until after the end of the season.

There are also no official reports on Lewis Hamilton's whereabouts at Mercedes. But everything currently points to an extension for the seven-time Formula 1 champion. According to Hamilton, contract negotiations for next year have already begun.

However, the Briton is still holding back on details. "We are still in talks at the moment, so I don't have much to say," Hamilton said on the sidelines of the first of two Austrian races this year.

Yes. That's all I've seen, as well. Hamilton supporting Bottas is very different to him demanding that Bottas stays if he's to sign another contract.

Another mixed qualifying result for McLaren. Daniel way off the pace and Lando done an absolutely amazing job.

If Daniel doesn't improve I can see him getting replaced by Pato O’Ward for next season.
