I agree, Hartley had pace, he was dicing with Haas, just had another poor start and damaged the car. These cars are so sensitive aero wise that damage really hurts your race, it's a lot easier to fight if the car is in one piece, so if he's going to give up places and fight his way he should at least keep the car out of trouble. He had to fight his way after some early race tangles and a penalty, without that he'd have been in the points. On to the next one, China is one week away and he can redeem himself.
It's a very tricky circuit China is.
