(Late because Microsoft decided I needed two giant Windows updates in one week and my internet is bad)
I got the start time wrong, but thankfully noticed my mistake about 10 minutes before the start. I'm glad I didn't miss any of it because there was racing, actual racing. Admittedly between Perez and Leclerc and not at the front, but actual racing. In F1!!!
There was also the sheer joy that was Nico Hülkenberg's ridiculous race weekend (briefly - was supposed to be commentating with RTL. Was in Köln at 11 am, got a phone call from Otmar Szafnauer saying can you fill in for Lance Stroll?, at the circuit by 1 pm for qualifying, qualified in last because he had had no warm up. Finished in 8th in the actual race.) Justfiably Driver of the Day.
Ferrari brought less joy (sorry Charles, I know you did your best.) Somehow, Vettel remained unpunished for his near clear-out of Kevin Magnussen (yes, I know Magnussen is just as guilty) so I can't yet dab "FIA can't save you now" because so far it still really is looking after both Ferrari drivers. I can dab "strategy decision is made, it is wrong" because did anyone think that the strategy they were using with Vettel would work?!
I shall leave you with two more links.
