I received your setup, thank you Alberto

bad news for Benetton ...

Cheers mate, I just checked and you can do the race with 184 liters fuel and the boost in the setup Personally I prefer less power and less weight, but towards the end of the race when you have used most of it of course you will be faster with a richer mixture ....

Probablement pas de diffusion ce soir, faute de commentateurs.

Ah shit, sorry to hear that Franck :/

Sorry to Greg as well, that was a stupid moment by me, and I hope I didn't wreck your suspension.

Can't believe it... lost a bit of concentration after lapping the two McLaren's and that was it... One wheel over the kerb and immediate spin, smashing the car against the wall.

I wasn't able to hold the car and I went to the other side of the track, only then to come to a complete stop. Sorry Gerard for ruining your race.

Well, from the 2nd position in the grid to lead race for a few laps, all was quite surprising to me. I didn't expect to be fighting for the top spots.

Quite frustrating end for me... the pace was there, the win was in my grasp.

Hopefully Mario will bring the win for Tyrrell.

Désolé Franck,
je laisse passer Ricardo,avant la remontée vers l'arrivée,il rate sa trajectoire,touche le mur a gauche et revient sur la piste,je le percute.je voulais rentrer au stand,je n'avais pas vu que ma roue était parti.Mille excuses Franck.

Ok Gérard ...oublions ça ,la pression est un peu redescendue ... Du coup j étais 2ème et commençais à préparer ma mise en pression sur Mario . J espérais qu il fasse 2 arrêts comme à Phoenix , et comme Martin était déjà à 6ou 7 secondes je voyais bien un beau final ...peut être une prochaine fois

This could be a really nice race...but I ruined it to myself...by myself...to much stupid mistakes...no matter that, nice fight with ben (I hope )...I hope Mike can make it, so Ferrari shoult still have at least one car in finish every race...

No problem. I guess the one positive was that it happened just outside the pits.

That was a real struggle today. I definitely had the car hooked up on low fuel, but couldn't get the car right for race conditions, or perhaps didn't spend enough time preparing it. I was still making changes to the setup minutes before the race start, which is never a good thing.

Had so much lag at the beginning, with cars warping in front of me, disappearing then re-appearing, and I was already down to something like 13th at the start. My car had excellent straightline speed, but struggled mightily in Sector 2, and I do wish I'd ran with higher wings now. You live, you learn.

Unfortunately Victor's crabbing car wiped my front wing off and I had to make an unscheduled pit-stop. Had a nice battle with Karel for a bit, and I'm sure he got frustrated stuck behind me, but I did all I could to keep him behind. That Ferrari was immense coming out of the slow corners especially.

Made my pit-stop on Lap 35 or 36, and the first lap out, I had a problem with my brakes. Three times the car span out under braking, and I knew that was game over then.

Fun, but disappointing at the same time. I really hope there is a free car for me at Imola.

Pas assez d'essence...
J'étais pas si mal, j'aurais pû finir 10e j'ai vu Alberto faire un pit avant de quiter, moi c'était pas prévu...
Merci pour la course !
Bravo au podium et aux finnisseurs !

Results are up on the website

NO WAY!! I enjoy every moment of it...I made a same mistake as you did when I change setup minute before race...I shortened the seventh gear so I have enough power to overtake you on the main straight...but I was always in RPM limit after first half of that straight..

It was nice racing, thank you for that, I have to say that this is something what is much more important for me than the place where I finish
