And I have read in a F1 magazine that he denied that. In fact he says he sees no reason to give up his seat to anyone younger....One report here http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/10923171/lewis-hamilton-not-thinking-about-when-he-will-retir...

Well it was in the Sun....

Baku P2 is currently on now. I have never seen so many cars going into one particular wall,

Max is fastest with Bottas 2nd... Ricciardo 3rd and Kimi 4th . Lewis had a spin and is currently in 10th. Vettel in 5th...

End of P2 and Max has just put the Red Bull into the wall,,,Still fastest though. By the way both McLarens start from the back of the grid...:smileysad:

Thanks for the update @Cleoriff, not got it on as, unlike North Manchester, the wifi here is limited to 30 minutes @ less than 1mb and I don't want to use all my data until I watch the live race.

Qualifying is on Ch4 if you can get it on the 'pay' TV...Either way I will keep you updated.

Let's hope Lewis gets himself sorted. I know the safety car will be out a lot for the race on Sunday....
