| Epilog |
Overall a very difficult race on this
very huge track, during the week we have managed to find a good package
power/fuelconsumption, however even when this was all right during
qualification we noticed that when you needed to overtake the fuelconsumption
increased dramaticly, also the fastes qualifiers were run on the first run of
saturday morning, after this the track had less grip and the temperatures
became too high for the engines to perform with the same
fuelconsumption.
After qualifications we were confident for the semi final since we had
enough power to go there, unfortunately despite of all the precautions taken we
had an unusual engine failure, what can be said about this is not much besides
that this is racing and we will try an find out what has happened so it does
not repeat itself again.
See you at the next race. |
