   I also think that Hamilton moving to Ferrari and taking his seat next year   
   will put a rocket up   
   Sainz and that he'll drive out of his skin this year. I'm sure he'll out-drive   
   Leclerc. I was going   
   to pick him for pole and win and at the last minute checked F1 media (to check   
   if he WAS in fact   
   driving) and the journos were saying he was walking around the paddock very   
   very gingerly and   
   leaning against walls etc. so I didn't pick him.   
      
   Tsunoda continues to impress and Ricciardo continues to do the opposite. I   
   know Dan was a very good   
   driver once but I'm afraid that time has long gone. He reckoned he was aiming   
   for Sergio's seat   
   next year but at this rate I think he's more likely to go to NASCAR for 2025.
