my observation on Vettel rejoining: his helmet moved to look into mirror only after steering correction! that he slid that far is laws of physics. No space for Lewis is name of game with street tracks. What happened to #LetThemRace ? Was it sketchy? yes! a penalty? not in my view

Post Jeddah Rule adjust suggestion #1 :  If a driver elects to give position back before DRS dedection section, he shall not be allowed to use DRS thereafter. Aim: Eliminating sketchy tactical slowing downs leading to unfortunate "misunderstandings & situations"

“Female racing drivers” - simply a mirror of society, in my opinion. If we get more dad’s bringing their girls to the kart track, and not mostly boys, we will have girls making it to the 🔝for sure (I believe). The stopwatch doesnt know your gender, age or looks. #Probability

A key moment why our industry went away from high/steep kerbs. After: a generalisation process delivered "flat kerbs" (good but not thought thru at the time). After we all shouted about tracklimits. After we brought sausage Kerbs and guess what: we fly again. we can do better❗
