Well, that was night and day, wasn't it?
Race 1: total shambles - drivers - or at least Lotterer - out of order, not sure if the teams or the race direction, or both, knew what they were doing. Best forgotten.
Race 2: very clean, everybody mostly behaving themselves, strategists cocking up so that we had a lights to flag win despite all the predictions. Dare I say a bit boring?
Track: Good in parts. The 'cut-through' was unnecessarily brutal - couldn't they put in a radiused turn rather than that? Or just not bothered with it? It caused less chaos than I expected but still a bit rubbish. the chicane looked horrible but worked OK, so if they MUST have it... In general, FE works well on a tightish permanent track and they need to use more.
Track Limits: a novelty for FE drivers but they rose to the challenge of getting all four wheels over the white line, even in the wet.
Penalties : Arghhhh. In both races, first alp and someone gets hit with a drive through for a 'technical infraction' . What? Can't you at least share with us a little? Was it a minor power misuse. or had they fitted a 7 litre twin turbo engine? We will never know. Oh, and how did da Costa 'misuse' attack mode?
Power: Just give them X amount of power and let them get on with it. No SC deductions. They can still only use 200kw. What on earth is served by having half the field run out of useable power? Madness. If they have SC in F1, they don;t bring the cars in to siphon out 3 litres of fuel!
Can someone please tell FE that, just because F1 is a bit sh!t, they don't have to follow suit.
