Giovinazzi has crashed and may need a new gearbox. Also, F3 race to be run today (Friday).

That's what happens when you don't leave space.

Actually there is probably a relaxation that comes with starting last. You get to overtake. You have lower expectations so the pressure is somewhat off. You probably won't collide with Lewis.

I thought as I got older, I would learn wisdom and patience, but the only thing I have learned so far is that I don't give a shit.

Looks like both will be taking penalties so they probably will meet on track.
