Once again, we here at Good things / Bad things towers have been overwhelmed by the complete lack of feedback from our fans. To that end we recently found £5 down the back of the office sofa and employed well known consultants Custard, Cream and Biscuit to run some focus groups. The response from our fan was interesting to read and we will certainly take onboard the advice however, we are still trying to figure out how to get it up there and why sideways?
Anyway, on with the French GP edition.
Good things:
The strategic battle - Once again, lots of teams tried different options. We had two stoppers versus one stoppers and long runners versus early stoppers. As a result we had winners and losers on track and it made for a more interesting race.
The long runners - Hats off to Perez, Norris and the Aston's for running long and for Hamilton who squeezed out every drop of pace from his knackered hards.
Bad things:
Ferrari - Just when you think the seeds of Ferrari's improvement have started to germinate they put in a performance that they thought they'd left behind. The first time they've failed to podium in France since it returned to the calendar in 2018 and third time both cars have been classified finishers but outside of the points in the last 12 months.
Mercedes - as the pressure grows the team show they are human after all. It's relatively easy to win championships when you don't have other teams for rivals but now that they do it's not all plain sailing. If it wasn't for the brilliance of Hamilton they'd be 3 feet deep and sinking.
Over to you....
