Saying 'there were no further highlights' suggests there were highlights earlier in the race. Did I miss something?

The wind picking up caused a minute of commentator frenzy in Sky. Pretty much a James Allen grandstand finish.

When me and my best friend were in college we'd impersonate James Allen's enthusiastic commentary by screaming "HAMILTOOOOON WINS!!!" and 'air masturbate' with a penis shaped like Arnold Rimmer's special salute:

Just watched a replay last night, and won't be sad that we won't be coming back anytime soon. The track will still be used for testing I assume. Personally I would think to hope that the FIA made a rule that you can't test on a track that will be used in the upcoming season.

AFAIK Catalunya is on the verge of extending its contract and will continue for at least a couple of years. Zandvoort is one of the additional 2 events for next year (ie + Vietnam)
