Anyway boring race, congrats to Zhou

Alonso was hilarious in his radio frustration, Hamilton quit right after the green and Max tattled on Lando from first place, one more race left, let’s hope the top three teams actually race for the Championship.

I hope Haas gains back the position as well.

Having worked as a marshal I can attest to the fact that piece/part would have been called by the appropriate corner station. That corner would have been clear if it was on line or off line. Given where it was in the braking zone. a safety car would have been deployed to allow the intervention team to jump the wall, retrieve the part and get back to safety. Once that happened, the race would have been restarted. Figure no more that one lap. There needs to be room between the first and last car for the intervention team to do their work.

It is a whole lot easier to retrieve on piece/part rather than a scattered bunch of debris that is much harder to remove.
