Ross Brawn apologies to Winnie Harlow for flag grief

Canadian celebrity Winnie Harlow has received an apology from Ross Brawn after she received grief for waving the chequered flag one lap early. The mistake wasn’t her fault, but she faced plenty of stick.

The full race distance was completed, but the race was reduced by two laps according to the regulations. The last time this happened was in 2014.

“Supermodel Winnie Harlow was an innocent victim at the end of the race,” said Ross Brawn on an interview on planetF1.

Whiting confirmed earlier in the week an investigation is well underway to discover the cause of the issue and a way to prevent the issue from happening again.
