The irony of all those shitcanned Toro Rosso drivers doing amazingly while Hartley has a drive is staggering.

Just had an interview with the managing director of Silverstone on RLM, highlights include: “came here in 91 and had to put up with that horrible Mazda” and crediting Corvette with bringing Lammers back this year.

Having been to Silverstone this doesn’t really surprise me.

I've been trying to figure this one out.

Does he think the Dutch Dallara is a Corvette or something?

It dawned on me a few minutes ago he’s probably thinking about the wrong Jan

Maybe but they're not exactly bringing Jan Magnussen back are they? What with this being his 20th straight LeMans and 14th in a vette.

Jan has a 20% class-win ratio at Le Mans (and has been on the podium almost 50% of the time), over his 20 years of driving there (4 for Panoz, which makes perfect sense when you consider how the Corvette sounds, as well as one for 1 and 15 for Corvette) and never placed outside of top 10 when he finished (which, itself is an achievement, despite how much of a sprint it's been looking like in GTPro this year).

He did 12 laps so should get a spanking from the stewards, although 8 didn’t for the wheel spin so maybe he won’t.

They could do 12 under safety cat and yellow flags. I can see where the confusion may came from.

One way or the other its an elegant solution to separating the two.

? They weren’t under yellows or SC though.

Didn’t need separating, they were already half a lap down on demerit. That was the solution, put the fast drivers in the car they wanted to win. I would guess they want the results to show 8 could have won any race over the last few years.

There was a slow zone I dunno if that counts.

But yeah, implying Toyota was doing it intentionally like Hindy started to is dumb they were 90s apart already
