The Burning Questions

Will Vettel’s penalty be overturned? Will the situation actually be resolved this weekend?

Can Bottas or Ferrari do something to reduce Hamilton’s momentum towards another title?

Can Renault’s aero upgrade help keep up the progress they’ve made in the last two races?

Will we have the same ridiculous trophy as last year?

What effect will the new Honda engine have on Red Bull?

Will anyone make it through the race without a migraine from those stupid lines in the run-off area?
