OK.:) Well I didn't remember that. Though I remember the loose wheel of Minardi running down the backstraight.

I have to say, few are really noticing Kyvat who has been quite consistent in beating Ricciado most of this season. He is 4 points ahead of Ricciado in the driver championship table. The thing is that, he has quietly done so. He is overshadowed by Ricciado's popularity such that his achievements are being underestimated. I am beginning to rate this guy as a top racer.
Kvyat is doing a good job, but I can't agree he is overshadowing Ricciardo. Just to bring some examples - Ricciardo was ahead in both Belgium and Russia before he retired with car problems. And there have been more examples than that.
However, I am quietly impressed how the younger Dan is coming to his own in F1, but he needs to prove more before getting considered as a top driver. Years have proven pretty convincingly there must be a clear line between a 'pretender' and the 'real deal'.
Hamilton over Rosberg
Ricciardo over Kvyat
Bottas ties Massa
Vettel way over Räikkönen
Alonso over Button
Hülkenberg over Pérez
Verstappen over Sainz jr
Grosjean over Maldonado
Nasr - Ericsson cold go either way
Rossi over Stevens
I didn't think he was overshadowing Ricciado, if you read my post carefully. He is only 4 points ahead. He is showing that he deserves the seat at redbull. His position has increasingly being under some pressure recently by the great performances of the Torro Rosso rookies, particularly Verstapenn. He is in a fight to hang on to his seat for 2017. A strong finish to this season and a stronger 2016 with less mistakes is what he needs.
