F1 1979 - Round 9 - Great Britain Reports
#6
So sorry for you DJ but I was just trying to get off the track. I was sitting at the outward side of the corner pointing to the grass. I could hear a car approaching but I did expect it to try to get past on the inside so I hit the throttle. I could see you making that decision in the reply. Inside no , wont make it out side maybe, then I started rolling - Bang. I still think that we all did the right thing - apart from the me stupidly trying to overtake Teammate Ricky in that turn- sorry, mea culpa.

Apart from this I am quite ok with the race albeit I could have made more of it. After many training laps and honing the setup, I made it to a 3rd position in qualify rather close to my PB. Think this is the best I ever did. I could avoid trouble at the start and stay in 3rd position to about lap 10. Then my tyres got a bit too hot and after 2 smaller mistakes I had a few drivers in the rear mirror. That was too much of a pressure and I spinned in turn 3 hitting Dan. Dan that was entirely my fault. I then completely fucked up at the pit entrance overshooting the entry and then even hitting the wall having to use reverse gear. In the pits i was unsure about whether we even have the repair functionality? It did not repair anything and the possibility was disabled in the pit menu.

Rather eventless driving from there on until the situation above happened. Lost my front wing there and had to slow down a bit in the turns making the car go around the corner with the front brake. I could hold the position and finished 9th behind Ricky. Good race Ricky.
Best
Tobias
Do you even lift?
