Model Winnie Harlow Mistakenly Waves Checkered Flag 1 Lap Early at Canadian GP
Charlie Whiting has defended F1 organisers after a serious and farcical error at the end of Sunday’s Canadian GP.
Winnie Harlow, a friend of Lewis Hamilton’s and a prominent model, was asked to show the chequered flag in Montreal but accidentally waved it with one lap to go.
As a result, the results had to be counted back to lap 68 rather than the scheduled 70.
“There are no models as marshals or stewards either are there?” joked Force India sporting boss Otmar Szafnauer.
