Agree about the snooze fest. Race summary, a pass for third place, but because of pit strategy, and some cars running close together mid pack. Oh, and will Jenson's Honda engine reach the finish line.
I couldn't be more in disagreement about the "Black Flag". Yes, van der Garde should get one, but for being a wimp. In my considered opinion, The Black Flag goes to Sauber, and this from someone who used to be a supporter of the team.
If someone stole millions from you as well as taking away your job, you might be tempted to do something more specific than going through the court systems, but that's what van der Garde did. Perhaps he timed it for best effect, or simply it took until the latest European court decision before he could take action. No matter.
Sauber, with decisions made by "The Kettle Born" who now runs the show, was by their actions in contempt of not one, not two but Three courts. Don't be fooled by Peter Sauber and the calming grandfatherly smile, this is not the same team as it used to be. Remember this is a team that hired 4 drivers for two available positions. Sutil is just in the wings with his lawsuit if he could only figure "where all the money went".
While not good for the racing show, I was hoping the courts would seize Sauber's assets and arrest The Kettle Born". Alas they managed to escape the country. What's next? It will be interesting to see. Regardless, the bottom line is eventually this gross arrogance, lying to ignoring and flouting the law has to be stopped.
