I've got offers on the table from Virgin (my current team) and now HRT, which is more of a downgrade tbh

Got the HRT offer after Spa, now at Monza, hoping for a better offer soon

3rd is good in a lotus. I have just got my first podium at canada. Got 2nd in the force india on legend Was .012 off pole for quali. The race was dry and i held a constant 5 second gap until the rain came

Managed to finish a race at monacco too. Felt a bit ill afterwards because of the frame rate issue.

Jittering when leaving the pits.

And a bit of an oops.

Frame rates don't seem to show up too bad on my phone camera but it's no where near as smooth as it should be

Didn't see that one coming


I just got 9th place in Monza (with Virgin on legend), i managed to get the worst fastest lap time of the entire pack though
Track position is key lol, think i took off at least 4 front wings when they were trying to overtake me, but hey that's what they get for not giving me KERS

Was a bit of a what the hell just happened moment

with the front wings. I'm constantly damaging them. So much so everytime the engineer says "you have damaged or lost your front wing" my mrs says not again

i do that too!
normally on the practise laps lol
I play on intermediate so dont think i can smash a wheel off! constantly crashing though when the stat comes up its like over 200 crashes all ready and only done 5 grand prix's
how many laps do you normally do on the actual race? did a full 68 the other day- was absolutely knackered at the end! got a 40 second penalty so had to consistently improve my time so i was over 40 seconds quicker than 4th place so as not to drop one- managed 41 seconds phew
that was my 3rd place finish- not bad although was 1st on the grid but my car is so much slower than everyone else it seems!

I'm doing 50% races so they take about an hour to do. Not sure how many laps as it changes every race.

50% is perfect. Gets you to think about strategy and look after your tires and fuel. Making my tires last a long time now. I kept locking the rears and since being super carefull with the brakes (gradually lifting off ) And adjusting the balance forward can get 2 extra laps

+ your hands don't hurt like they do doing a 100% race.

lol yeah thats true
I never bother with the strategy- maybe because im on intermediate i dont have to? just do the whole race, rarely pit

You have to run both types of tyres tho mate.......... I prefer a later stop giving me chance to get into a rhythm early then push like mad on the soft tyres later on
