A Finn interviewing in Russia while the actual Russian is put aside.

A couple things.

While the shark fin is directing more airflow to the rear wing, it's causing issues with recoveries. The Twings should go we don't need two rear wings, and they keep breaking and flexing.

The fins actually look better on LMP and DPi. :colbert:

I'm with you Norns, I do think they look better on LMP cars still, and more of an afterthought on F1. But I had hoped they'd do some work integrating them better instead of just tossing them. T-wings look ugly and I'll be glad to see them gone.

Also echoing the LMP/DPi comments here. Honestly, I think Ferrari and Haas have the right idea. Do something to make them visually distinct from the rest of the car, instead of having your paint scheme "extend" onto them.

With the banning of T-Wings and shark fins you just know the engineers will invent something else equally absurd for the cars

Good.

I'd be interested to see in how many cars that finish a race actually have the t wing fully functional at the end. Those things flop around like they're attached with springs.

I have to wonder if he was actually involved in the process of creating "his" drink. Being Lewis, I assume he was, because he seems like he'd insist on it. Did he suggest black grape? Did they just put 4 paper cups in front of him and ask him which one he liked best? Did he pour samples from a decanter, swirl the glass, and pontificate on the subtle notes of vanilla, hyacinth, and pyridoxine hydrochloride?
