    There was a suggestion that it would have to be taken by Wednesday at
    the latest. I don't know the reasoning, though.

    I'm wondering if they make the decision earlier in the week, will that
    allow them to modify the car to suit George better - or is that even
    allowed?

    The team will start working on the car on Wednesday. Lewis probably
    won't know until Thursday, when his 10-day isolation ends and he gets
    tested again. The bulk of the paddock is flying to Abu Dhabi today, so
    Lewis, who can fly by private jet, will need permission from Abu Dhabi,
    which has a 14-day quarantine for individuals arriving from elsewhere.
    The F1 paddock has an exception, but Lewis would need a waiver.

    The above is predicated, obviously, on Hamilton driving as is currently planned. Should he be replaced before qualifying substitute Bottas for
    pole, and leave the finishing positions unchanged.

    This option prices at double the normal entry fee.

    Well worth the cost.

    I'm assuming that Lewis wouldn't put himself in the car if he didn't feel he could give it his
    best. Of course assumptions are just that. I hope that he's fully recovered - not just for my pool
    pick either. ;)

    Thanks Mark,

    Given the confusion, I'll post this list here. If there has been a foul
    up, I will consider late changes. In particular, fnot and FB haven't
    ranked HAM and, while that's likely to be intentional for FB, possibly
    not for fnot.

    It seems that actually (by his own admission) Hamilton wasn't 100%. Still I can see why he'd not
    want Russell to get another race this year...
