“… which led to Williams chief Pat Symonds venting his frustration over 2017 tyre testing schedules.”
Yeah… no. Sorry.
Is this the same crash-when-I-give-the-signal Pat Symonds that’s worried about unfair advantages?
Harsh? Probably. I do tend to play the ball, so to speak, when analysing content; not the person – well not in the first instance. But in this case, it does the argument no favours that it comes from Pat.
