Hopefully he collects Lulu at turn 1

Too bad about Gasly because he was past Lewis. Had he not crashed he might have also towed Charles with him dropping Lewis even farther back.

I was bored. It's a train with no passing, no strategy. It's only 100k but a mercy killing might be needed.

Even so I can see the value in a Ricciardo/Verstappen front row.

Life is just one damn thing after another.

The strategy element is tire choice and survival.

It struck me during the "race" that the McLaren rear wing is trimmed out in a way that it's almost invisible head on. You could see the gap in the elements very clearly as if the DRS is always open.

The unexpected happened so I consider that a positive. Plus, Lewi$ moaning about an "easy win" for Max is our Typical British Hypocrites laugh of the day. Like Bott@$ wasn't going to move over and let Lewi$ win this thing and take the "easy win" on Sunday? :innocent
