aint gonna spit fire but i was furious and not only of my little mistake

If I can confort you a bit.. I was catching you pretty quickly, I saw your accident, I allmost colided with you and Pascal, but even you havent crashed, you would never reach that podium...
Maybe I sound full of myself, but boy, even I was supprised with my google car on soft tyres and low on fuel!!!

I'm happy for you Raul, finaly that williams on the podium Wd mate!

Indeed "he" was
But the fact is, it was part of my master-plan! You see, Francois was a bit faster than me, (it looks thah Fokker Wulf 14 is quite hard to drive when fully loaded), but couldn get me on the main straight.. And I was looseign sight of the boys in front.. Then I let him pass, with idea he will catch them and eventualy crash while battling for points. Yeah, its low, but Im too slow for higher !

how small wings you used for race? a cant catch your speed, with fuel, only on last lap i did my race best lap (0,028 from race lap record od David) but on start and thru whole race unable the speed of FW14 and benetton ,so like Prost or Alessi told Ferrari is like a bus , only where i was in little advantage was the braking, i can stad on them before corners and they make they work OK

at Phoenix i had a disco running p4 or 5 can't remember now lol

last weekend i was running with 32/32 wings and a stretched 6th gear for topspeed in slipstream
the new engine and 500 more rpm helps alot and match the gearing i found for fast tracks

also i was running the car as low as possilbe , almost at qualify trim, meaning the front nose endplates skid the floor under braking and at beckets , as you can see some Qualify video's by senna and Mansell at silverstone and Hockenheim

brake map 3
disks 2.3 front and 2.0 rear
brake bias around 54 /46
and 180L of fuel from the start
tires Soft also after the pitstop
S SOfts would overheat for sure

the ferrari will  handle better with full fuel , after the load burns off  front are going to seesaw up and down so it needs a stiff setup overall


we meet again at hockenheim my friends ,
so let the sparks fly at qualify!
