And the weekend started so well with Hamilton's sprint victory (https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/hamilton-storms-to-sprint-victory-and-first-ferrari-win-in-china-ahead-of.2VzfSIOQeFC6y2Kskxkpz9)
Just a note, Ferrari victories still don't make sprint races a good idea.But I didn't get my hopes up because I have been *here* before. And I was wise not to because ...
Ferrari somehow managed to get both their cars disqualified, which is a special kind of ridiculousness (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/articles/cn0j7gvnk89o).
I can, to an extent, forgive the Leclerc disqualification, because there is a chance it was related to how the car drove after losing it's front wing end-plate. Which was knocked off in a collision with his teammate ... and whose loss improved performance.
Meanwhile, the undamaged car got pinged for having undersized skid blocks!
How do you miss something like that?!!!
I hate being a Ferrari fan sometimes.
(I have learnt my lesson from the BBC taking the Chinese Grand Prix off the Sounds app after less than two weeks and will be listening to the Japanese Grand Prix replay tomorrow.)
