What are themes/stories to watch this weekend?

• Who wins this weekend, and why is it Verstappen?
• Can Ferrari step around their own dick long enough to challenge Mercedes?
• Have Mercedes actually had a breakthrough that can keep them up with Aston Martin? Is George having a crisis of confidence or can he get back up and/or next to Lewis this weekend?
• Does Gasly make it through the weekend without an unforced error, and if so, how badly does he need to outperform Ocon?

I’ve long been critical of the American criminal justice system for failing to rehabilitate, and worse not caring all that much about even trying, but this type of stuff… Man I don’t know how you ever find a way to release these folks back into society and feel confident they can be trusted. It’s a rare circumstance that I would ever say we should just throw away the keys, and this is it.

I think the question was whether he had the motivation and the drive to work for his spot, or if he expected it based on who his father was and the reputation that came with his club career. I think at this point Gio doesn’t have much of a choice but to put his head down and do the work since Berhalter won’t be interested in taking any of his bullshit.
