No offence taken Papa, I'm normally very handy, I've been told by professional plasterers I'm up to professional standards, I've actually helped build entire extensions onto houses, fitted wooden sash windows, replaced all the joists in my old house in the UK and laid hardwood flooring down. However, the felt we were working with was a bitch, and his "shed" is actually a summer home (it's a Scandinavian thing). Long story short... it's a lot of hard bloody work and there is only two of us doing it, and it has to be finished by today. I have no idea why I agreed to help, all his other friends were smart enough to say no, you live and you learn I guess... except I never bloody do!!!

As to the race... After the drag down to turn 1, sorry, I mean turn 2, the race will be over. Think Mercedes have made a mistake going for the mediums. The degredation is too high to get them to last long enough to do a Medium / Soft race, so they're giving up using the clearly quickest tyre for an extra 5 to 6 laps at a marginally quicker average rate than the hards, but those on new hards will be able to lean on them more than the Merc boys will be able to lean on by then their well used Mediums. So honestly? Not fussed I'll be missing this shit show. Also props to Leclerc again, five poles in a row like he has done is never an easy feat, even if the car do have "rocket" mode.
