Boring race. Just watch the highlights. 2-3 min is enough.

Is there an option where we can suggest to simply look up the finishing results? It isn't worth even a 10 minute highlight package.

Could any sane person find 10 minutes from this race they consider "highlights"?

More like 1-2 minutes of highlights.

There is only one highlight and it is on the last lap. Fast forward through the entire race. The interviews are also boring. I didn't stay around for the podium ceremony.

Neither the highlight. The starting grid order is enough

Yea, but I liked seeing Stroll passed on the last lap after putting in a completely rubbish race performance.

Then lets’s say “ The starting grid order is enough, unless you’re a stroll hater then skip to last lap”

If you like Stroll then you should be forced to watch the whole race on repeat over and over, with Kvyats radio overlaid.

I'm not against him. To be honest I was expecting a pay driver who would be spinning left, right, centre.
Obviously my expectations weren't high, but I think he does very well for a pay driver.

However, I do admit there is something about him (personality, or lack thereof?) which makes it difficult to be an active supporter of his.

It's his ego, and his arrogant belief that he's there on legitimate talent, when no other team would give him a seat if he was bankrupt.

fair enough. I don't follow the off track stuff as much as I used to, but I can imagine he comes across as an unlikeable person.

any news about the livery for next season? I can't imagine they will drop the pink as long as BWT is on board?

Must be the Russian in him.... he is of Russian-Jewish and Inuit descent from his father's side. Oh, and Belgian descent from his mother's side.( He actually holds Canadian and Belgian citizenship.) :wink:

both father and son are featured on 'Jew of the Week'
Jew of the Week wrote: Lawrence Sheldon Strulovitch(b. 1959) was born in Montreal. He grew up dreaming of owning and driving Ferraris, and decided to make that a reality by following in his father’s footsteps to become an investor. In the early 80’s, he started by investing in Pierre Cardin and soon introduced their kid’s wear line to the Canadian market. After this success, he did the same with Polo Ralph Lauren in Europe before co-founding Sportswear Holdings Ltd. in 1989 and purchasing a major stake in Tommy Hilfiger. Together with his partner, Stroll is credited with making Tommy Hilfiger the iconic brand that it has become. In 2003, Stroll started working with Michael Kors, similarly expanding it into the international brand that it is today. By 2012, Stroll was listed on Forbes billionaire’s list, and is currently among the wealthiest Canadians. His dream fulfilled, Stroll has some 25 Ferraris in his collection, and owns the Ferrari dealership in Quebec, as well as the Mont-Tremblant racing circuit.

Stroll also introduced his son, Lance Stroll (b. 1998) to the Ferrari world. By age 11, Lance had won a handful of go-karting championships, was voted Rookie of the Year and Driver of the Year, and was signed by Ferrari to its Driver Academy – the youngest person to enter the program in its history. Earlier this year, he made his professional debut in Daytona. Yesterday, it was announced that Lance will join the Williams Martini Formula One team. At 18 years old, this makes him the youngest Formula One driver in the world.

For them we pray
