And the other person with experience F2 race director Janette Tan also got sacked last week.

So FIA is quickly running out of options with experience.

That is in line with the current owner!

Just finished watching the Qatar dummy Spitting Championships.
Always good when they throw their toys out of the pram.

RUS going fast, got VER fined for driving slow.
VER driving slow, got NOR fined for driving fast.
PIA overtakes 2 cars in the pits.
MAG takes out 2 cars at first corner.
ALO turns the pit lane into 2 lanes.
OCO quit.
STR should quit.
HAM wants to quit.
PER should quit but wont.
ZHO gets Driver of Day

Whole Sky Team sobbing in their warm beer that all Brits were hard done by.

Waiting 4 laps to call the Safety Car was stupid, someone will always gain and others will lose...its unpredictable and it should be called when the incident occurs.
Also did nobody tell BOT the mirror was there?

From two of us who were there, that is an excellent summary.

Just watched the race, rather well enjoyable with lots of action. Or as VER would say.... simply lovely!

After sacking the previous race director (maybe due to following rules for VER penalties), the new race director completed botched it with the mirror on the track. Incomprehensible why not easily safety car to clear it rather than the chaos it caused.

And that could have significant financial consequences too.
Given Ferrari and McLaren are battling for the constructors championship, Sainz’s puncture and Norris’s penalty will cost whichever team comes second US $10 million in lost prize money.
