Our trio bring to you a bouquet of stories - first, why we believe Mercedes will be in the fight this weekend; as will be track limits. And second, why Circuit Paul Ricard might join a list of venues that will host races on a rotational basis. 

Look out for @f1statsguru aka Sundaram's circuit segment along with the stats preview. 

Did you know? Bernie Ecclestone owned the Circuit Paul Ricard and there's a theory behind the red-blue run-off areas.

Finally, it's Alpine's home race - let's see what livery they turn up with & how Esteban Ocon & Fernando Alonso go. AND if Alonso will bring up his weaving complaints yet again or not! Tune in!
