Sounds like something like you'd hear an authoritarian regime doing. I get the idea of backing the party line, but this seems a step too far. Discourse should be encouraged not shunned.
Cutting away from the Ricciardo Russel battle to see Max finish the last lap was so frustrating, especially when you saw the gap on the timing tower get down to two hundredths. I get that you need to see the finish happen but we don't need to see Max for half a lap, just the last corner will do.
Checking the other Ferrari and Merc cars should have been the bare minimum imo. Fair enough checking all the cars might have taken a bit more time, but not that much. I think it was Chris Medland that was saying the teams themselves take 30 seconds to check their own plank wear.
Seems short sighted, but then the first smart meters were around before 4G was a thing. Is there a way to check what kind of sim card is in your smart meter?
They're replacing Charles?
