A little more front wing appreciation.
This one looked sad, somehow, as it was all by itself. 🙁
Do not worry, Jake Dennis' front wing, you'll have many people surrounding you tomorrow!

❓ Should there be a "pinnacle in motorsport" ❓
What do you think?
I say no.
Motorsport is too diverse to be boiled down to one
“pinnacle” series. If anything, this mindset only leads to discrimination and hate, something you see far too often already.
Or do you disagree?
