Do you also remember the great lengths that Lewis went to in his admitting that he was completely out of order to his nephew and the media? His words and actions to make amends were quite compelling.
Cold won't remember that, only the bit that enables just a little bit more unhinged Lewis hatred.

Nope, no problem. Just wanted to know if the attention seeking had started already.

So if Max did just enough to win he’d have been 1/4 million better off, do drivers get prize money per race?

Not exactly. They are all on different deals, including performance/win bonuses, but I think we can be certain none of them would roll in 6th to reduce their super license fee. smile

I meant prize money from the race organisers like they used to. I searched and couldn’t find anything.

Quite.

Especially when it is a genuine unequivocal apology, rather than one of those weasel-word non-apologies that so many do.

Interesting interview. If the FIA don't want drivers to express their opinions at race weekends, then hopefully it leads to more drivers doing things like this.

EXCELLENT!

I wonder if the racist/homophobe Piquet will "mistranslate" and write a cheque for GBP7,800,000....?

I place it in the Finland income-linked speeding fine territory, in terms of excellent outcomes that cautions all against making future indiscretions.
