It would be astonishing were it not so routine. Every time the 28-year-old is on the track, the financial ramifications of his actions are a single misjudgment or misfortune away; every time he idles on the grid, accelerates into a sliver of space or brakes late, his conscience is an ever-present passenger, wincing and tutting at every turn.
