    Yeah he just said in an interview “I didn’t want to be on the podium if it wasn’t a win”

      Jesus wept. You’d think by now he’d know races aren’t won on the first lap, or even the first sodding corner.

      It was remarkably short sighted when he is in a tightening contest for 2nd place in the championship, and a DNF literally halved the gap to third position. He was never going to leave that corner in first place anyway, with Max ahead and on the inside line. A podium would have been a great result given his run of form.
