Hello everybody and welcome back to the B1 podcast with Matt and Somi.

Driver ratings is officially back.

Sergio Perez is a six out of 10. I think it's perfectly reflects a better than straight down the middle performance this

weekend.

The outqualified Bottas, albeit here we go.

Variable number one of 3,000 is that Bottas had some problems in qualifying with shock,
