Great summary. I expected both to get a penalty... Let's see if it ends here, the FIA may decide on more...
What I enjoyed most about this was the Post race Buxton paddock pass interview of Stroll's trainer...
Based on the season, I - like others - assumed "rich brat with not enough talent", and that guy's interview changed my mind more than the somewhat lucky result. As he pointed out, the guy is the son of a billionaire. He could have had a life of easy luxury away from the public eye, that we all wish we had. But nope, since he's 8 y old, he's been racing, training hard, putting himself out there. Had no normal childhood, no partying, more training, hard dieting (he's a big guy), all to put himself up the ladder to F1. And he made it (thanks to his dad's money, granted) but also largerly because of a thankless 10 years of work, and he's friggin' 18. Who at 18 can say they decided at 8y old they wanted something this bad, and worked this hard to get where they're at ? (yeah, verstappen maybe)
So, respect... I'm changing my opinion of Stroll and will be cheering for him, and Sainz, and whoever else...
PS: Enjoyed Grosjean's radio stuff too, paraphrasing "Just tell me if the brakes are gonna kill me OK?"
