The Emilia-Lasagne Grand Prix proved messier than a high school ‘Food Tech’ class \u2013 and how we loved it.<\/p>\n

Burnt cake tins, the Renault Clio Cup, tin foil hats, plus ignominious spins, indignant world champions and an absolute thriller to the end \u2013 there’s much to talk about in this week’s ‘Goin’ Up, Going Down in F1<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n

Drivers and engineers were left all at sea after a satellite failure caused a telemetry blackout during FP1 on Friday. Confusion reigned as the best-paid drivers on the planet actually had to figure out for themselves what was going on with those pesky tyre temperatures, interfering crosswinds and finding track position.<\/p>\n

Imola<\/a> gave yet more proof that racing on a tight, twisty yet flowing track in the Italian hills \u2013 with a chance of rain \u2013 beats racing on a retail park in the desert any day. Facts!<\/p>\n
