Feel free to discuss the race in this thread, as long as it is within the forum rules.
Looked very good for me. Had good battles with you guys.
Only Christofs move wasnt the best, In the end it costed me 2-3 Positions. You cant pull over 1cm in front of me and than instantly brake hard. And it was even before the braking point and you had better tyres at this moment. So no need to brake that early. I had no time to react.
I'm sorry but i see it completely different. Yes i did brake early. Maybe because i was 10km/h faster than usual and i wasn't fully on the ideal linie. First there should be plenty enough time to react. The gap was close but you could avoid it in the last second by slightly going to the left. Second: If I see a other car pulling over to the ideal linie and i'm so close to the front guy i lift a bit of throttle to gain a savespace. I do that alot of times and it doesn't hurt at all because to the Dirty air get's reduced because of the gap between cars. If i would brake a bit later you might not crash into me. But did you gain time? No. You will take the corner with 5km/h less because of the dirty air and you will loose that gap you just gained by braking late instantly when you take the corner so there is no reason to not lift. When i'm a carlenght in front of a guy i go back to the ideal linie that's for sure And if you are that close than you have to take action. I can't watch for you. You always have to think that i could brake earlier because i was on a higher straightlinie speed. You didn't so this was clearly not my fault. I might create a chance to crash but i can't do anything if the other guys don't think. And third i'm not on a hotlap. I always brake earlier than i could to save the tyres and to get consistent lap times. I don't risk driving each corner on full limit. Esspecially if i'm currently in the highest Place possible for me in the Race. That's all i have to say. Also 1:14:00 in the stream is a perfect example of creating a save space for yourself under braking. If you brake too late and the gap is to close you will crash. That's why you give yourself a Space. If you have the same tyres as the front guy the same topspeed and the same pace You know you can brake on your usual linie. But if you have none of that you Create yourself a save space.
I'm not sure if the FSR rules says something about changing line in or just before the braking zone but in general that is something you shouldn't do in racing.. it's unpredictable move that usually causes an incident.
Christof, imo, you shouldn't have moved back over, you had the move done if you would have stayed inside, yet you moved left right in front of Georg and braked earlier than usual, obviously due to DRS, but saying he had enough time to react is ridiculous, you put both of you in a position that didn't need to be, and you suffered for it.. Unfortunately so did Georg,, surely its just common sense to not pull infront of another driver just as your about to hit the braking zone...I'm sorry but i see it completely different.
