TBF Sainz did well not to bin it or park it in the tunnel.
That would have caused grief for everybody else, Pit lane closed until they recover it, and not in an easy place to recover.
True. But then again, nobody would have blamed him for stopping the moment it was clear his wheel wasn't on. In fact, it could be that this was what the rules mandated he do and he could actually be penalised for it. That would have caused grief for everybody else, Pit lane closed until they recover it, and not in an easy place to recover.
(Note: That is total speculation on my part - I don't know what the rules say)

the race is so interesting the director decides to show us film of people filming it on their phones.
To be fair that was one of the good bits.
Other than Stroll showing that money might not buy love but it can buy a seat in a Williams.
I wonder if he'll be beaten by a one armed man next year?

Agree. The problem is F1 is all about money, not entertainment. I'd much rather the final race was at Adelaide like it used to be. Street circuits have the spectators in much closer proximity, the relative lack of run-off leads to a far greater sensation of speed and the whole setting - at least Adelaide from what I remember - seemed to have a whole carnival atmosphere which created a great close to the F1 season. Also, I'd much rather the World Champion's trophy presentation was done after the final race in an extended podium ceremony rather than at some poncy dinner later in the year when your head's no longer in F1 space and you probably won't see it anyway 'cause so little is done to publicise it.Gassing Station | Formula 1 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
