Ah! Respects for that. That requires some self-imposed discipline.

FYI, it was the least interesting race of the season so far.

thanks for that - it was a bit of a relief to hear about 'interesting' race :D

didn't really need Sky to see that :) Kimi was one of the early stoppers. At the same time Perez (who stopped earlier than Kimi) was struggling, but not sliding as much as Kimi
