If the race is half as exciting as qualifying it should be fun today. The qualifying revolved around the two Silver Arrows - the Mercedes.
Nico Rosberg did the fastest lap in qualifying but then, on his last lap, he 'made a mistake' and ended up down a side road bringing out a yellow flag. This spoiled Lewis Hamilton's attempt to beat him to pole position because you can't go too fast through an area with a yellow flag. (Who remembers Michael Schumacher going into the barriers at Monaco after setting pole a few years ago?)
Lewis, on the left, maintained a stony and unhappy silence after the qualifying. Nico, of course, apologised to his friend (or should that be one-time friend).
Hmmm. But he convinced the stewards.
ReplyDeleteNot knowing much about such racing, i'm wondering if that's a mistake anyone could have made. If so, maybe his friend needs to cut him some slack on it all.
ReplyDeleteWe've had racing here too with a Top Gear special included.
ReplyDeleteMore rallying this weekend too.
