Let’s see how this one pans out! We’ve had an exciting weekend of action so far. Let’s see if that continues. I’m hoping for just a little more rain!
Why did Sainz stay out for so long, with damage that was obviously going to send him to the back for no points? Is there some penalty for retiring in the first half of a race?
They were probably hoping for a rain red flag to repair the damage. That gamble didn’t work out
No idea why tbh. No rules he couldn’t have been retired earlier.
Maybe data gathering, for what it’s worth
