This was in the two-stroke mixed oil/petrol era (where in some engines the crank was lubed by the f...

Three Red Bull Powertrains engine DNFs in the last ten laps of the first race, and we're racing again next weekend. There's going to be a few long nights in Milton Keynes.

The FIA. Michael Masi.
They let exactly the cars between Hamilton and Verstappen through, and then green-flagged the race. Couldn't have gift-wrapped the championship any better if they had wrapped it in shiny paper and tied a bow from a ribbon around it.
