The rest of his race/weekend though was pretty dire, and he wasn't just a shade over the line at the start, it was a good metre. That's just weird.

I almost mentioned Perez's car damage. It clearly impacted his pace. Why put him in such a position to embarrass himself at his home GP.

One day perhaps someone senior at RBR will call out the dreadful on track antics by their golden child. But not today. So the man-child will not learn.

Instead Horner comes out with some irrelevant drivel about Norris' speed going into the corner. And his race engineer dismisses everything as due to whinging of the opposition.

Because there was no reason not to.

If he managed it, they took the point off Ferrari. If he didn't, he lost no points.

There was no down side.

A pretty absurd weekend for RB. Not really what you'd expect from a team participating in top level sport. I think it's interesting that whenever Max starts running people off the road his response is, "oh well the car isn't fast enough". These two things are not related mate.
