For serious, though, I pointed out after Austin last year that cutting across the entire track at the first turn of the first lap is awful racecraft from Sainz, and got shouted down by Russell-haters.

    Russel just has that reverse je ne sais quoi. I hate to admit it, but he has a very punchable face and he never did wrong by me :(

      Dude’s got that classic British fop facial structure working against him. Does he do dumb stuff on track sometimes? Yeah, but I don’t think that’s why people are so ready to heap blame on him.
