Everyone hating on Checo seems to conveniently ignore this fact... Yet CH said it was a "significant" impact.
Checo finishes 2nd in the first two races. He finishes lower on the third race because of significant downforce damage and he's "washed up". Yet Riccardo is actually washed up and all anyone can talk about is how Checo has to go.
