Secret mechanic's diary: logistical gambles
AUTOSPORT'S fiction-based-on-fact secret Formula 1 mechanic SPANNERS is back after some logistical dramas in Korea, tiny rooms in Japan, and a lot of curry in India
Hi.
Where's October gone? It seems like only yesterday I was collecting my thoughts and sending my monthly moans into the guys at AUTOSPORT, and here we are again.
At that point the world was either in awe of the sheer dominance of Sebastian Vettel's Singapore performance, bored, or accusing him of cheating. Now, four weeks and two races later, we've seen him give everyone a headstart and 'fight' for a victory and it all seems OK again.
