Firstly, im happy for first win this season finally, but guys, wake up finally, this Ace series started be ridiculous!
I was very cautious this time on start. Good start but no space to get there. In T4 there was Satherly on the outside, so I was carefull to stay on inside. It looked he is wide, so i wanted pick outside line, but suddenly there was Simon next to me. Only small touch this time, but all was caused by Satherleys connection. It looked he is next to me, but actually he was just lagging and prevent me to spot Simon next to me.
Its really difficult to drive in this series with so many contacts, when pings make it even worse...
Then in 3rd lap, Diaz spun in T6. HOW THE HELL you can accelerate, especially in first laps, when there are really little gaps!! Just use reverse next time to not stay on track and then enter the track safely...
I was 20 secs in pits, and suspension was really damaged for rest of the race, so sometimes was difficult to stay on track.
How is possible, that on such a simracing level there is such a amount of crashes. Whole my career I was so carefuly and almost havent contacts. Now, first year in FSR, considered as best in the world, I had 5 major contacts in 11 races. Thats more then my last 2-3 seasons, insane. Every start is a roulette here.
Same with my teammate. We lost many points only cos of dirty driving... Guys, really, you should think more in battles and on starts. Its not rF1 anymore. Every small touch can cause spin, damage or carnage, think about it...
Back to the race. Satherley given me a gift in last lap of R1, so I was on polepostion in R2. I had great start as usual and immediately had more then 1 sec gap. I pushed first laps, but there was no chance for overtakes behind me, so I just managed tires to finish without problems.
Aaand now second thing. Great Britain was race we waited for a lot, if we are talking about dirty air. We told 100 times before season, that this dirty air is way too big. Old T1 was really pain in the a.... Its not fun for drivers, not fun for spectators... dirty air is part of the racing, but it should be set properly. FIA is still trying to reduce drag and increase possibility of battles (shame they failed and made drs). In simracing, we dont need drs. Just need to reduce drag directly.
Was insane, that there is 1 or 2 "unovertakable" cars behind me, and then I can fap with one hand and with other one managing to win a race. Fun is gone than....for everybody. I wonder how will be tommorow WC race. Morand pole, Bono second, DeWitt crashing in S1, and.... all drivers stuck.
And last thing. There was many drivers driving wide in old T1 and Stowe. It was not only time-to-time, and often even in battles, so I hope penalties will come in charge.
I dont want to be harsh, but it is what it is. If we want make it better, we firstly have to find something wrong.
