Funny you should say that, Keith, I had a similar conversation with my girlfriend (a new fan) at the start of the race. The conversation went something like this:
Me: “Amazing start from Fernando – up to 7th!”
Lauren: “That’s brilliant, go on, Fernando!”
Me: “Only a matter of time til he’s passed, though..”
Lauren: “Why? Don’t be so negative!”
Me: “No, no.. it’s the DRS here. It’s so long. He doesn’t stand a chance.”
And with that, he was picked off one-by-one. Cue me ranting about the art of defensive driving being completely gone in modern F1. Half of a truly great driver’s skill-set is null and void. What a sham(e).
