We? You're not Canadian are you TTT?

Because F1 owners Liberty Media focus more on "entertainment" than sport.

As an adjunct to this their revamped on-screen graphics are hideous IMHO.

What makes you think they're dozy, or bimbos?

[ToraToraTora]

err did you see the incident jo?

[Old_Geezer]

Are the flag wavers given a signal to start ?
Surely they don't count the laps by themselves.

[jackthehat]

Quite. I think the dozy old duffer who handed her the flag and told her to wave it a lap early ought to be the one getting the flak...

[kvalidir]

Nice terminology TTT. ^^ What Jack said ^^

Model Winnie Harlow waved the chequered flag a lap early. Haha she only had one thing to get right. Dohh.
Notice the report that Hamilton's engine problems were caused by a bird flying into the brake duct and causing the engine to overheat? How the hell did they not pick that up on the early pit stop?

[kvalidir]

Yes and as has been pointed out Winnie Harlow ( someone who was paid to attend) was handed the flag by a RACE OFFICIAL- so who is really the dumb *** here?

[ToraToraTora]

togo, they did clear that in the pit stop.
kval, her, they gave her the flag ready for the final lap but she waved it without being told to.
