Inside F1's locked-down bubble: How the sport returned . Lots of drivers seemed perplexed as to how the race played out but also talked about tyre management.When it came to Sebastian he answered his two questions in German to Sky Germany on my camera first and then I stepped in to speak to him in English.

Lewis indeed seemed pleased with his second place and seems to have really enjoyed the race too, although admitted Mercedes have work to do to understand how they lost the win.It wasn't the Silverstone I've known but it did throw up an exciting race and gave us lots to talk about. As it turned out, he tested positive again.With Ted away on holiday this weekend, I was down to do all the driver interviews on the Thursday afternoon. We know he's been watching it whenever he can and the desire to return to the grid is still as strong as ever.

His radio message about the team messing up stood out in my mind and so that became the basis of my first question.

He took the test that returned a positive result on the Wednesday, but the result of the test wasn't announced until the Thursday. But why the delay?The behind-the-scenes stories from the final race weekend of the year in Abu Dhabi in Rachel Brookes' end-of-season diary.Sky F1's Rachel Brookes with an eye-opening behind-the-scenes account from the Brazilian GP, on robberies, a lack of security and more.Sky F1's Rachel Brookes brings the behind-the-scenes stories of the Mexican GP weekend, including interviewing the newly-crowned world champion. Lewis Hamilton said it was a difficult race for him and Mercedes after losing out to Max Verstappen's Red Bull. He told me he thought he'd been on a sub-optimal strategy and that Mercedes could have won the race that day.Something that I put to Toto a short while later. The Grand Prix Show with Rachel Brookes on talkSPORT 2: August 4, 2017 Rachel Brookes and Kevin Eason review the Hungarian GP and discuss the story so far going into the mid-season break He'd only had a few days since then to try and strengthen those muscles that really get put to the test on a circuit like Silverstone.My only disappointment with the interview was that Nico wouldn't take his sunglasses off.

I did get a few strange looks though when I walked through the paddock to do the podium interviews for F2 as I was already in my 1950s outfit to celebrate the 70th anniversary.We had decided to do it because there are two races at the same race track and we wanted to make a point of difference between them and also celebrate 70 years of the sport we all work in. Sebastian had said he just got a lift to a petrol station in Otmar's Ferrari and then met his trainer there, and carried on his journey.He told me in the pen that he was no closer to knowing what he was doing in 2021, however I have since learned that a deal with Aston Martin could be imminent.I also managed to step away from the pen for a minute to see if Lando did end up interrupting Daniel's interview and I saw him knock Daniel's cap off before walking away. He still needs to test negative for Covid-19 but thankfully remains symptom-free.

Once I had done that I finally got to sit down with Hulkenberg as it had been put back on the schedule after but Sergio had tested positive once again.It was thought Nico had left the sport too soon although he says he hasn't retired and he wants to come back full-time.

That policy on the day he took the test was seven days isolation if you tested positive.However, that then changed on Thursday, so had he taken a test just 24 hours later he would have had to isolate for 10 days. This happens with drivers sometimes and in the past it's not such a big deal.
