Longbow Finance - They're the Finnish outfit who now own Sauber. They fired Monisha Kaltenborn for not favoring Finnish driver Marcus Ericsson over Pascal Wehrlein. Idiots!
They are Swedish and so is Ericsson, but otherwise I agree with your sentiments
.
Regarding the race, it was dramatic and it was a stark improvement on last year's event in terms of the drama, but the organisation and running of the race itself left much to be desired for the reasons that Ali gave earlier. Still, I enjoyed it because the result was so unexpected and there was so much going on.
There was some very poor driving. A clumsy move by Bottas on lap one, a silly spin and track rejoining move from Kyvat, silly driving by the Force India drivers, who cost the team a potential win, and finally a deliberate and disgraceful piece of driving from Vettel when he drove into Hamilton on purpose.
Through all of this Ricciardo stayed calm to take an opportunistic victory in a race of survival, which also saw Stroll put Jacques Villeneuve's irresponsible comments into context, and also persuade me to change my opinion of him. He drove really well and was unlucky to be pipped by Bottas, who put in an excellent recovery drive, on the line. Other good drives came from Magnussen and Wehrlein, while Alonso finally scored some points for McLaren after the engine managed to go the distance for once.
