MSC can't buy points at the moment. Said it before, he's not got 'it'. Three laps from the end with your first points in the bag it didn't need any risky moves to survive another 5 minutes. Unless he thought his mate Vettel would just let him through.
Lando could have given some more space but at least it spiced up the race a bit. It's always amazing how a clean sheet design of track layout ends up in a dull race. Hopefully with it being a semi-temporary track they'll be able to design in some small changes for next season otherwise it'll be 10 years of Sochi v2.0
It was so bad that even Perez on brand new softs couldn't pass Sainz on worn hards.
And I'd like to see less of the god awful Americana next time. They looked so embarrassed going on to the podium in those football helmets. And delaying all of that so Max can get a police escort all around the block to the cooldown room instead of just walking up the stairs like the Ferrari guys did. I'd love to meet the people who think these things will be great, and then give them a slap.
If you haven't seen Brundle's grid walk, seek it out on youtube. It was car crash TV at its best!
