Oughh!!.....
Super frustrating start to this "Race".
The most poignant and terrifying comment was regarding the red flags setting a precedent. I couldn't agree more. Had they decided to actually stop the race, which at one point Sebastian Vettel wanted them to do, it would have had seriously damaging ramifications for every race from this day forward. Thank goodness Charlie and whom ever else was in charge of these decisions shot the puck and let them race!
After the last red flag the racing was amazing. I can't say enough about Mad Max, Oh my was he on fire. As mentioned during the race, The kid is not piloting his ride on experience but rather pure skill. He showed amazing courage incredible talent coming from 14th all the way up to 3rd. I'm just disappointed he didn't have enough time to get past Nico.....Nico, who is in a huge amount of debt with Lady Luck.
The retirement of Massa was sad and disappointing, but what an amazing outpouring of gratitude from the fans and even more tear inducing was the respect from the teams down pit lane, it was a perfect circumstance being the pit entry lane was closed. I've never seen anything like that before.
So, 12 points separate Nico and Lewis. Interesting.
And regarding Sebastian......."Honestly".
