Its no longer push push push.
Its all about 'manage, manage, manage'. Engine, tyres, fuel..... :
Then the same driver is being managed at 90% can't get past a back marker and spends 5 minutes begging for permission to turn the power back up ...................... it almost feels like a fraud!
How can anyone make any worthwhile value judgement about driver skills when a 3rd party not even in the car has such variable influence across a race?
