Track Map
Very hard to tell, and it is unfortunate to some extent. It’s not a huge surprise for me however as Australia is a peculiar track where there usually are some teams that rather randomly perform much better or worse than expected.
I completely agree, though I’m of the opposite opinion. Blue flags are necessary imo (there is no reason a lapped car should be allowed to defend against a race leader), but the leader getting DRS off cars he’s lapping is grade-A nonsense.
Yuki took that incident in Bahrain personally! I don’t get why people keep underrating him, he beat three teammates last year and is on the path to giving Ricciardo a McLaren-level drubbing.
