WON BY A SUCKER
A night F1 race, tiny octopus spotters on the rear wings, and a finish decided by one tentacle.
The story
Lap 56 of 58 under the floodlights. Every team has a tiny octopus spotter riding on its rear wing. They are part of the crew, there to give the driver a clearer view of the race and guide him cleanly into the pits: Squib for Red Bull, Pepe for Ferrari, Otto for Mercedes. A few pit stops, one overtake and a very long last corner later, the race comes down to a single tentacle. Then somebody checks the CCTV.
