Will Hamilton drive today as well, or is it only Nicos turn today?

Edit: The livery looks pretty similiar to last year's livery. At least to me. As far as I can tell from the low quality pictures

What does that number mean on the right hand side of the steering wheel in the onboard video? Is that state of charge?
