Fair enough if they are only a "test driver". It would surprise me if a team as

What are the rules about COVID-19 in Bahrain? If this had happened down under, "close contacts" would be sent into quarantine... I think that would be the whole Mercedes team out of action. Then no point in phoning around for another driver.

I too would love to see what he can do in a Merc but his performance would inevitably be compared to Hamilton and Bottas, who have both been driving for the team for years.
Though that said going in for one race might not be representative.
The Mercedes does not seem to go particularly well in traffic (or perhaps that is just Bottas) and that is where George would likely be unless he could produce a stella qualifying lap. I think he would do well to scrape into the top six in the race but that might be seen as failure in such a dominant car.

The rules in Bahrain are not relevant to the F1 teams unless they are
out and about in Bahrain rather than in the
paddock/hotel/transport/airport bubble.
The rules inside the paddock/circuit are pretty much the same as they
were in Austria, Hungary, UK, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Russia, Germany, Portugal or Turkey during the previous GPs.
Under those rules a not-insignificant number of people have tested
positive and been isolated/quarantined/etc.
The FIA website has nearly 100 FIA docs about COVID-19.

The challenge is to be able to manage it, to identify the close contact, to isolate the closecontact, to kill the beginning of possible outbreak without having more trouble.

I'm not so sure. I think any top six would be seen as more than

time.

the other teams won't fall into that trap - they are the people who
really matter in terms of his career development.

he was maybe being over-hyped in the British media; I hope that is not

He regularly puts the car ahead of his rivals in those dying seconds
when the best qualifiers do their best work. In an F1 race though he's
yet to really show great prowess.
Friday pm will be interesting to see how he settles in. Hopefully
they'll give him as many laps as he can manage (subject to tyres)
so that he gives himself a good chance on Saturday.
I just hope that he doesn't end up in a DNF on Sunday!

He regularly puts the car ahead of his rivals in those dying seconds
when the best qualifiers do their best work. In an F1 race though he's
yet to really show great prowess.
He finished ahead of 4 x WDC Vettel last week in what is arguably the
slowest car on the grid.
Friday pm will be interesting to see how he settles in. Hopefully
they'll give him as many laps as he can manage (subject to tyres)
so that he gives himself a good chance on Saturday.
I just hope that he doesn't end up in a DNF on Sunday!
So far so good. Russell's fastest in both FP1 and FP2 ahead of Verstappen.
I think Bottas was pushing to find the limits more whereas George was being careful not to crash. It was a fine effort but I still expect Valtteri to
get pole.

get pole.
You could well be right (I believe that you are about the former point). Either way, as much as I
admire Hamilton's next-level skills and enjoy watching him race I'm *really* looking forward to
this Saturday and Sunday.
Also if I were a religious man I'd say a little prayer on behalf of Lewis, that he shakes COVID
quickly and cleanly. I've read some horror stories about 'long COVID' and it seems to effect people
of colour more than Europeans (Perhaps due to lower natural Vitamin D in their systems.)
Also vegans in general have much lower levels of the stuff as witnessed by a lot of vegan foods
being 'vitamin D fortified'. There's a lot of science that shows supplements are nowhere near as
effective as natural sources of vitamins.
As an agnostic the best that I can do is cross my fingers for him and hope that his supreme fitness
is enough to see him through.

It's an area I have some personal interest in. I have 6 stents and a
very bad family history with 5 of my brothers having had heart
attacks; it is an ongoing problem - I got my most recent stent just
last January and my cardiologist reckons I will need more in a couple
of years.
When I got my first 4 stents thirteen years ago, I was put on 80 mg of statins daily to get my cholesterol as low as possible. Unfortunately,
I am one of those people who gets very unpleasant side effects from
statins. I have worked hard over the years with my cardiologist,
cardiac nurse and dietician to get the cholesterol under control
naturally to the extent that I am now down to overall cholesterol of
3.5 and, more importantly, LDL at 1.8 with only 5mg statins daily
which I can comfortably tolerate.
I wish you all the best,
