F1 Fanatic

@joey-zyla I’m still worried about reliability (though I have a stat of 9). As @kingshark said, anything can happen.

Race Update 3

LAP 40, TURN 3: BG0 overtakes Juan Pablo Heidfeld for fourth position.

LAP 41, STRAIGHTAWAY BETWEEN TURNS 5 AND 6: Stan’s Mercedes has an engine failure! He’s out of the race.

LAP 50, TURN 9: Gnasher and BG0 make contact, and BG0 loses several seconds.

LAP 53, TURN 1: Ben’s gearbox has failed!

LAP 53, TURN 3: Hollis Graham has gone off and sustained too much suspension damage to continue!

Race Results

LAP 60, TURN 5: Juan Pablo Heidfeld passes his teammate for third!

FINISH: Nicholas Sunderland has won at Kyalami!

FINISH + 9 SEC: Cornflakes completes the 1-2 finish for Red Bull-Renault!

FINISH + 28 SEC: Juan Pablo Heidfeld takes third to limit the damage done by Red Bull’s 1-2 finish.

FINISH + 69 SEC: Bradley Downton has earned a point for Caterham! What a race!

This should put me 4th in the driver’s championship! A big step up from 12th. This’ll also move Red Bull up to #1.

So I’m the first driver to win from pole, and the first driver to lead the whole race. Awesome :)

Seems awfully quiet here… Usually there are way more people commenting after the race.

I guess you do all of the individual calculations by hand (would explain why it takes a while). Maybe next year (if you run the game again) I can write a program to do it, since I’ll have taken a computers class by then (and it would be a pretty basic program).

@joey-zyla

The streak of winners being favorite tracks drivers…

…CONTINUES!!!

How come I didn’t win around Albert Park then? :(

Three races and three non-finishes. Difficult to keep optimistic of any good result in future. I guess a point in reliability makes the difference with my team mate achieving 2 finishes and even a point.

Happy with a solid fifth place from eleventh on the grid. I passed a Sauber and McLaren and surely a podium can’t be too far away. I’m also ahead of my teammate @andae23 in the standings, although he leads me in qualy 2-1
