i was 13th in qualfying not what hoped for but then the start,
Was 9th after turn 1 then Morgand morand who made a mistake he comes back on track and again my race gets compromised he hitting my car and then trying to push into the wall again losing positions basically with the damage i had could not do nothing anymore
we lack evertything its even worse then last year were like the HRT now
need a rest all this testing for nothing again
Happy to finally be back in podium contention after a difficult 2010 season. I knew I had the pace in Q1, but still almost ended outside the top 10. In Q2 I had no expectations, so it was a big surprise to end up P5 with an average lap.
After qualifying I knew that the race was a matter of defending and strategy due to the dirty air. Got up to 4th at the start and basically kept my spot for the next 57 laps, including a well-timed pit stop. There was close fighting between Jaakko and Fredrik a couple of times, quite on the limit but still fair I would say.
During the second half of the race I became increasingly worried about my engine, having been forced to use higher revs while defending. After nursing the engine for the whole second stint I fortunately made it to the finish, but unfortunately the engine started smoking on final lap, which cost all the top speed and a position to Nilsson after a great pass from him.
Overall this was a fantastic result for Aero F1 and also served as a boost for myself after ducking around deep in the snow for most of last season. Hopefully this race also cleared some doubts regarding the fact that I only work for Precision on track, as a few opponents pointed out to me before the season start.
Q1: 1:21.820, pretty satisfied with this.
Q2: 1:22.558, not too satisfied with this.
Race:
I had a decent start, some people falling off ahead of me again. After that it was a pretty tough race, I tried pushing as hard as I was comfortable with, but couldn't really make any progress.
I hoped I could maybe gain a few positions with an early pit stop but I unfortunately got caught behind Lee for a lap which negated any gain I might've had.
I had a few close calls with my teammate, luckily we both managed to score points in the end.
Congrats to Bono again and the rest of the podium.
Hi
Just watching broadcast now, and just like last weeks it shows lagg all the way through the field..
Also i noticed there were a few disco's thisrace.. and i also had a bit of lagg and i know a few other drivers i races with also said it was laggy..
This year it is most deffinatly not me or the drivers, just wanted to point this out just wondering if anyone else has issues ? its nothing major realy.. just a tiny bit of movment lagg which sometimes makes it hard to predict overtaking etc..
The broadcast sometimes is realy realy shocking.. a few people have said its awful to watch and i can see why.. its realy laggy sometimes it looks... cheap.. multi bc was better lol..
Not sure why this is...
