I thought this too. I was a little disappointed with Martin to be honest.
He'll go and speak with some moron celebrity but brushed-off an excited minister showing some personality.
I think you're ignoring the part where the minister's paid thug grabbed MB by the shoulder! The correct reaction from MB would have been to punch him in the face and tell them both to fHe'll go and speak with some moron celebrity but brushed-off an excited minister showing some personality.

I imagine coolant in F1 has approximately zero water in it?
Got me to google it now..https://motorsport.tech/formula-1/car-cooling-syst...
The coolant itself is, as your link suggests, a pressurised water/glycol mix, and they use the minimum amount of cooling they can get away with for the circuit conditions, as the cooling inlets and outlets affect the aerodynamic performance of the car Whatever the issue was, it wasn’t something they could fix by removing some tape from the radiator inlet.
I agree that whatever the cause of the pressure drop, in a relatively small volume and high pressure cooling system, the tiniest leak would quickly drop the pressure, in turn dropping the boiling point of the coolant - it would only get worse from that point and there is no rapid fix possible. Hitting the 'retire' button probably couldn't happen fast enough once they confirmed the pressure drop.
Sad for GR! Although as noted earlier, Lewis had a no fault DNF this season too, these things happen.

I've no idea of what point you both think you're making... what would your reaction be if a hired goon grabbed you by the shoulder and tried to push you in the direction he wanted? Perhaps a biff in the bifocals is a bit unnecessary, but telling him to fk off wouldn't be out of line!
Tim, I think I might start with "excuse me" or maybe "please don't touch me" first. k off wouldn't be out of line!TheDeuce said:
