Brazillian GP 🏁

After Red Bull dominance for a while, Mercedes got it very right in Brazil. The whole weekend was entertaining, and not just on track.

Bullet points!

Verstappen's €50,000 was a hefty fine for puttng his fingers on Hamilton's car after qualifying. I also notice that fines are in Euros now, not dollars.

Hamilton's disqualification from qualifying was extraordinary for a wing infringement of 0.2mm, (and only on one side). But it made the sprint race a lot more interesting.

Hamilton was on top form, having to pass everyone over the two races. He had a car that was clearly quickest but who else would have done last-to-first? I wonder if Hamilton made more passes than the rest of the field combined?

Bottas was very strong in the sprint, but did his usual thing in the main race. Someone should tell him "That thing you did on Saturday? Do that on Sunday too."

Russell was outqualified by Latifi. I'm not sure that I could pick Latifi out of a police line-up.
