    Here's George Russell commentating his own lap around Mugello:

    <https://www.facebook.com/skysportsf1/videos/1018182935291563/>

    The flags HE mentions are pretty far off the driver's eyelinerCobeing
    elevated well above the racing surface...

    ...and he is not only looking to see them: he's figuring out in which
    direction they're flying, so he can gauge the wind.

    So, you have taken up fishing huh? Bait is good but who will bite?


    By your standards, you did.

    No real need to remind us that a driver who regularly finishes in the
    bottom quartile has a bit more time on his hands to be looking around
    him than the fastest driver out there.
    I would not underestimate George, he is world champ material !

    Oh... ...you were serious.

    You think a driver IN THE MIX of cars in front and behind has MORE time
    to see flags...

    ...than the lead driver with a gap...

    ...especially when moving at safety car pace?
