Why don't you just have a readout in MPH and KPH?

Why don't you just have a readout in MPH and KPH?

I was about to say. I put the poll to see if either side would absolutely smash it so i didnt have to find extra space in the program window but for round 1 I'll find a place for both seeing the votes are so close

KPH are smashing MPH

Qualifying (again, only look at the best times):

Q1:

Bottom 7 knocked out

Q2:

Bottom 7 go out again

Q3:

important notice: Hulkenberg (Force India) had a hydraulics failure during this session

Also, Cider's driver (Perez) should actually be Karthikeyan, but it's only a name issue that I'll fix in the race!

Would it be possible to turn 74.516s into 1:14.516?

I've tried to do it before, but it bugged out the entire timing screen, I'll definetly try again at a later date but I had other priorities right now

So was Perez actually signed by someone?

I missed alerts for the qualifying...

Jawz GP:
We are thrilled by Pascal's performance, he seems to have had the pace throughout qualifying. We can only hope he continues this form into the race and assure that he doesn't get a mechanical issue.

Jean on the other hand very much surprised us, he seemed to have struggled so far but this qualifying shows he has it in him to do well.

Also our financial situation doesn't look to cringe so we'll be hoping to improve our car and make it ready for the start of the season.

Nitro GP Post-Qualifying
A fairly good effort from both our drivers so far. Making it through to the second qualifying round (and despite missing Q3) is what we expected for the qualifying.
Verstappen did a Top 10 in Q1 but despite that he wouldn't make it to Q3, we're pleased with his qualifying performance.

2nd place is fantastic and a really good way to start the race. Perez stole the car during quali and we coudnt stop him from running some decent laps. Narain will take the car back on race day.

Sigman Racing:
That was rubbish.

 

[Milos]

So was Perez actually signed by someone?

Vimal, as test driver. His second driver should be Narain but it's just a name change luckily and the skills were good!
Anyway, it was going to be a brilliant commentary and it was quite a fun race, but my footage cut short for some strange reason and instead of 20 minutes it was only 2 minutes long. So I'll just post the race results!

Ford GP Post-Qualifying:
We are pretty happy with Carlos Sainz performance in the qualifying session. Making into Q3 and finished 7th is a good result to us.
Too bad that Magnussen didn't make it into Q2, which is a little bit disappointing but we are looking forward to the race

SO CLOSE FOR WEHRLEIN

Fastest lap: C. Sainz

Strategies:

A shame my recording failed, as it was a very good race this one.
Senna got off the line best and took the lead, as Raikonnen had a great initial launch but dropped back a lot. Contrary to that, Sainz went from 7th to 3rd position. Vandoorne quickly reovertook the struggling Senna. Senna soon started dropping back a lot but held up Wehrlein, Rosberg and Raikkonen and allowed Vandoorne and Sainz to pull away. However, very soon, Vandoorne pitted, as Wehrlein caught up to Sainz and passed him, but the Spaniard was sticking close still. When Wehrlein and Sainz pitted after, they managed to jump Vandoorne as he was stuck behind the pair, when he should have been pulling away even further to create a gap. Alesi jumped all 3 of them but soon got passed as he was on the hard tyres and going to the end. Raikonnen made a critical mistake then which lost him touch with the leading group. Vandoorne could not overtake the pair ahead and went in for his final pitstop stuck behind Heidfeld, which killed his win chances. Wehrlein and Rosberg pulled away from Sainz and rejoined behind Alesi as they pitted, but then passed the Frenchman again. Rosberg then had a significant failure as he was running second, and on the very final lap, Wehrlein had a failure too, from what was a near-certain victory, allowing the other Jawz GP car to win. Sainz got a brilliant second as Ricciardo's 1-stop worked him slowly up into third.

That last lap was way too funny to watch with Pascal retiring!

Excellent job Carlos, excelent job. Thank you.

 

[The_Laskinator]

hmm not too bad considering my error with qualifying tires (the tire of your first stint is the one you qualify on, regardless of which qualifying part you get through to), we can progress from here at least

That was brilliant because we know exactly what not to do now!

PASCAL!!
