Possible, but unlikely. Smedley is not an uncommon name. The pea people were Quakers who were pioneers in the vegetable canning industry, which went sort of pea(r)-shaped with the advent of refrigeration and a greater desire for fresh fruit and vegetables.
The team is doing a pretty good job (up to date powerplant, fast rookie driver, and getting a functioning development process in place are the big hitters here) but can do better, still which is what I joined them to help with. So a lot more to performance to be developed.
I'm not so sure - it struck me as Max being equally at fault for being a bit too impetuous and failing to leave sufficient room in his urge to get past. The Swiss commentator thought it was entirely Max's fault.
I think it's mostly a consequence of the hybrid power plants. It would be interesting to know if it's required, and if the engine people have to make some provision in the motor to allow it to turn the engine from 0rpm. I suppose being a tiny turbo it is essentially easy to turn over compared to a 3.5 litre V10.
It was Max's fault that he missed the win. He could have let Ocon past and had a tow behind a Mercedes engine, might have gained him 0.5s on Hamilton, instead he lost 5 and got damage.
