"Of course the show must go on. What better backdrop to a Netflix special on the Faustian Pact with Saudi Arabia than the flames from the burning Aramco Oil Refinery reflecting off the cars as they cross the finish line?

Paint the Aston Martins green as a token eco gesture (tick) and let a few drivers wear rainbow helmets (you won't notice them in the billowing oil smoke).

Just hope the bouncing Mercs don't also have to weave down the straights to dodge missile craters.

I sense a Max Noble piece coming on."
