”Sparks flew as Felipe Massa went wheel-to-wheel with Ricciardo” – The RBR driver alongside Massa on the photo is Kvyat, not Ricciardo.

That’s true. Even though Ricciardo overtook Massa twice in the race, in this one was Kvyat, probably on the last lap.

I was always told during my time living in the Gulf (a 5 year period that ended in the middle of last year) it was illegal to wear GGC national dress if you weren’t a GCC national. Seems an exception is able to be made if you are a three time world champion.
