Lewis did the hard overtake, grew a healthy lead, did all the things a racing driver should do to win... But Max was handed a massive advantage which almost any reasonable driver would have converted. Feel for Lewis #AbuDhabiGP #FormulaOne

Indonesia produces more than 3.2 million tonnes of plastic pollution every year. They've just launch a plan to cut that by 70%.
We must all work to end #plasticpollution.
