2014 F1 Season, Week 17
Two teams in receivership is really kind of a bummer. Hard to imagine that the world is short two mad zillionaires who are willing to flush a couple hundred million dollars down the toilet just so they can hobnob with the rest of the jet set. And now Kobayashi doesn't get the chance to redeem himself that he deserves. Also, this really doesn't bode well for Haas.
The race itself was interesting, but the finishing order is pretty much what you'd expect.
