Best Overtake: I don't recall and overtake that wasn't halfway down the DRS straight. I think you forgot all about Ricciardo right there...lol And at least he tried to breathe some life into the funeral procession...lol

Perhaps I should apologise for not following up with my own assessment of the French Grand Prix. Yes, it was dire. But… As many will have realised, I do not think it correct for me to 'fill out the form' to my own thread until at least half a dozen responses have been made - and hopefully more. I see this, in part, as a form of research and do not want to (potentially) influence opinions with my own assessment. This is why I usually wait a few days. So, I hope it is clear that the reason for not contributing this time was seeing so few responses. I should add that I would be happy for someone else to post these threads, as has happened in the past (most recently from Smithers) and that in no way do I see it as my domain.
