I've read the stewards report and a media report of the penalty.

Am I misreading it? It sounds like he wasn't yet lapped, then he mistakenly unlapped himself — which theoretically puts him a lap ahead of the frontrunners.

I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding it, but by my reading he must have (briefly) been the race winner, no?

UPDATE: I appear to have misunderstood and Sainz was not the unlikely winner. Thanks u/Ok_World4052.

Hi guys

I changed the pads on a friend's car today. All good. However while I was compressing the pistons I noticed the boots that surround them are pretty dry. Quite coarse when running a finger over the end. Not failed yet but certainly on the way.

I've done a Google search but nothing has come up that obviously serves the purpose as a caliper boot replacement. Can you purchase them independently and replace them? It's a 2010, fairly unloved Fiesta (nothing wrong with it but I've done most of the basic repairs on it for them for a couple of years, typically at my encouragement). They/I would probably prefer to avoid an entire caliper replacement if there's an alternative.

Thanks guys
