Yes it would be good know how things got to that stage.

I can't see any situation where you'd end up upside down and suspended by your ankle.

I also don't know how I'd rescue someone from a situation like that. Girth hitch them onto a sling or two, clip them on and get them down?

Funny how underwhelming everyone is about Lando Norris winning the F1 championship.

His super rich dad writing the cheques for a lot of his career seems to leave people a bit cold.

Compared to Lewis Hamilton who came from very little, which seems to make him more interesting.

I wonder if he’ll show a bit of personality in the future and gain some news coverage.

The management of F1 will certainly hope so.

Verstappen is similar, his very rich dad paying his way. Am glad Norris won though - cannot get to the top of any sport without a bit of talent, but to get to the very top you need some ££ behind you to do nothing else apart from that.

 

Hoping Hamilton gets some decent development time this year to make his car suit his style better, feel he has another 2nd or 3rd place left in him

 

Feel a bit sorry for Piastri though losing out second place - but that is racing I guess - Norris got a new suspension part way through the season about the time he took off, so perhaps he had the better car at the end?

 

Personality wise, yup, not a lot there. Though is it a generation / age thing that he hasn't developed a media presence or personality yet? (see this in work, it takes the graduates a few years to come into their own - aging and maturing - and more age again to get proper sarcastic about the job)
