Sure, Ed will have a benefit for at least another season, but it will bring the field closer together, + with an earlier drivers cap i think we can stop the domination in quite a short term

Damn Aston Martin were dominant here
Have to say I'm gutted for Charrel, but at least John picked up some more useful points for himself and the team.
Still I'd say 2nd in the Constructors Championship is now really slipping away
Races: 163 - Wins: 23 - Pole Positions: 24 - Fastest Laps: 22

I should have brought in my team, with the base perf I would have known, at least, why it's only going backwards again and again. 4th is okay, of course, but in the first and the last stint there was again a lack of speed. Only my middle stint was brilliant. Starting from P3, I had hoped for a podium, at least.
