What happens when..?

"I really wanted a podium today"
So what does happens when Red Bull decide to swap out a few parts? Their two main players Max and Hairy Dan get bumped back from second and third on the grid to a thirteenth and sixteenth place start. However that's good news of our boy Esteban who found himself starting out of three. So where were the red cars then? Iceman and Seb found themselves bumped up to five and six after a limp qualifying attempt in front of the Monzonian Ferrari fans.

With the usual first corner stumble, or more correctly.. chicane, Esteban found himself first in line behind Blingy. He must have been jumping up and down in that cockpit. His position held for several laps until the DRS was activated. By this time Blingy had opened more than the second required for Esteban to have a crack at the lead. Unfortunately he had the rest of the field right on his tail and was swamped by the next few cars with their wings flapping.
Ham44, who is taking huge risks every race against falling asleep at the wheel went on to win along side Valerie by a clear mile from Seb some 36 second back and holding off Hairy Dan who had run a massive race from sixteenth on the grid to finish in fourth. Thanks Red Bull and DRS for giving us a race to remember.
