Yea..couldve been fun....
I had to defend hard coz of my crappy braking into bustop and la source. When i locked hard at la source, i was relieved to see u on my left and i knew u wont be able to go anywhere. LOL...i stayed on the middle of the approach to make u choose between left or right....right was too tight i think.
I think kimi was thinking of pitting. but he shouldve stayed left to the pit entry instead of giving me the sign that 'left is free and u may pass....'
Trully when he gently nudge me to the side i was scratching my crash helmet thinking wtf LOL......but ure rite....its hard to let the front pass here than any other track. MSR have some of the cleanest lappers and backmarkers around i think. For 4 seasons, no major drama and very2 professional.
Yeah you leapfrog me again...lol...i practice alot my starts actually...and this time i released LC a fraction too late....but i know theres la source and eau rouge, i can slipstream u there. Ive fine tuned my wings to follow u close and keep the momentum there to be close enuff. I was on supersoft too it heats up pretty quick....I ran few offline test for race day condition....track temp 32...thats around 4c diff than our evening practice session. I aclimitise myself to the temp..ran quite alot of laps there to know that my supersoft and 2.8 brakes fron and rear will last me 21 laps....I learn to adjust my driving to the deteriorating tyres and brakes to survive that 21 laps....and without losing time. But that never see the light of day.
Added on January 26, 2008, 12:07 pmYeah i was watching the replay last nite....looks more intense from the outside really..lol...
Actually If you look at the replay I had no choice but to take the left. I read the signal that u r going to stay on the outside, if it was me, outside was the best decision for u as well, so I understand.
Actually my car has momentum, but a little bit too much wings. During first few laps I slightly half throttling because I made a mistake and the car understeered at Eau Rouge then you capitalize well on my mistake.
Every time into your slipstream after La source but it was not to be since you had the acceleration and top speed. My gear ratio was set at pretty much 335 something like that maximum under slipstreaming condition which is not enough to propelled pass your car. It's very very hard to drive for 14 laps in the dirty air, you lose grip every where in a sudden manner. Hmm I guess I will be missing driving under the dirty air since it's not a F1 season anymore. Mara, we are resuming the battle but this time at the wheel of tin top. We have great numbers of fast tin top drivers. So looking forward as well for mighty competitive season 5.
As for 100% F1 race distance, I don't think we are quite ready given problem such as PC might hang, wheel got problems, connection, n race drama itself. But that decision I leave up to the admins and on a serious note I would really love to have 100% race distance provided everything is going smooth.
