@nullapax Same here. The only thing I could think of at first had something to do with the specifications of the types of wheels that were used for the final time, compared to those being used next year, if you understand what I mean.

You can feel it when you near the DRS detection line. When you break for the hairpin. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Pierre: And what truth is that?
Charles: That the Maxtrix is the One.
