OK, so Kevin has finished watching his recording of the race. I can talk about it.

I was late getting to ITV’s coverage, so I missed any video they might have had of the incident that got Alonso penalized. It does seem all very odd. It used to be said that F1 was more about engineers than about drivers. Now it seems it is more about lawyers than engineers.

Still, we mustn’t let that detract from Michael’s victory. He would have won even if Alonso had kept his original grid spot. And it is great to see him be able to announce his retirement on the back of a win in front of the Tifosi. Here’s wishing him a long and happy retirement.

As for next year, I think I am finally back in that comfort zone where your favorite driver is in your favorite car. Forza Kimi! Forza Ferrari!
