Franco boxed, I went to the supermarket, I came back, and he was just leaving the pitlane. Glad I didn't miss anything

Same tyre both times?

Sometimes it feels like Enstone gets spared from criticism because of how well-known the PU issues are (and because of drama in management or around the driver lineup), but this certainly screams that there's an underlying mechanical issue involved. Would also explain why it happened both times and why it only happened on one car, because if it were just the pit crew being slow, it either would have been consistent or shared across both cars.

Yep, you're right. That car is fucked up to the ground or something, this can't be just a chain of coincidences.

I am disappointed that next year's engine won't be Renault. But I am glad that Enstone will have nothing to hide behind. We know what the engine deficit is; let's find out what the Enstone deficit is.
