Good article, except that the decision to do the restart on slicks was Lewis' alone. They did't "leave him out". They likely discussed during the red flag stoppage, but I think that every other driver made their own decision on the formation lap to dive for the pits based on how quickly the track was drying out even during that lap. Of course, had another shower blown through, it would have been a remarkably different race.
Good weekend. I liked it. Sad to see Bottas waiving his career goodbye, but that's the likely outcome. His penalty will be meaningless if Red Bull have grid penalties for new engines, etc, coming up later in the season, though.
