On Logan, I thought it was pretty clear the crash wasn't his fault? Did I miss something post-race showing that it was his fault? For me, it was more just the irony that the first (only?)

I feel like that's a pretty plum drive for Nico. Maybe if they get the car right, he has a chance of getting that podium, probably around 2027. The article said they want Sainz, I wonder if they'll be on enough of an upward trajectory to lure him in?

Question: With FP3 complete, but Sainz temporarily out for Bearman, do we have approval to change the predictions or do we need to stick with what we have?
