Season I - F1 2016 RACEONOZ Formula One World Championship (PS4)

@Motorsports560 yeah your yield is clear, @Pringles_947 nice nice little mid race battle.

My race was fairly clean my only challenge ahead was once again for the millionth time following @Beau_Albert who let's me by and I was more than confused until the engineer told me he had a 10 second penalty, probably a fair robbery when you think about what they can get away with in real life, And he only did it once.

Had viper had nailed the 2 stop and been able to workout rejoining behind drivers I dare say I wouldn't have been on the top step, but he gained damage of some sort.

Here's my race review anyhow, everything's better with titanic btw

I thought someone had to like that

Verstappen - Spectre
Ricciardo - Zharvs
Massa - randm
Wehrlein - N-Z-D-M-K
Sainz - Bounty

Well if anyone was going to get short sightedness... it would be you

I'm diagnosed by optomitrists as being heavily short sighted so what else can you expect really.

Not exactly the most exciting race for me, I didn't enjoy having to stretch the tyres out of so long whilst trying to push. I put in a terrible lap which included being bauked badly so I was surprised to line up where I did.



The start was fantastic but I couldn't do anything with it as I was on the wrong side. Unfortunately I positioned my car badly for the left hander at turn 5 as turning in meant swiping into @Viperzed, so it was another broken front wing after hitting the back of Benny. Regrettably I didn't pit on lap 1 so when the safety car came out I was jumped by those who didn't need a front wing. I was forced onto the soft tyre if I was to make the planned strategy work.

The restart was good, got past Zharvs in a white knuckle move in the final corner but Bryan held us up massively for a number of laps, which let the lead pack get miles in front. The pace dropped off massively towards the end of my soft stint, I stayed out too long. Indeed, once Viper passed me on his supers, he pulled away by 7.5 seconds in less than 2 laps. Never have I ever seen such pace disparity.

I clipped the wall on my in lap for Supers, after which bizarrely Viper let me past out of turn two and decided to stick behind me despite being much faster. I was dumbfounded. I gave myself a stupid shortcut penalty which was a death knell to my podium chance. Viper passed me at the old Singapore sling and predictably stormed off. However I repassed him after he had a big moment and held position until I hit the Super Mario 64 esque invisible wall and somehow survived. Another missed chance but a bullet dodged I think.

Well done to Seth for the win which really tightens the now three horse race for the title.

I didn't ruin anything, what kinda number #2 drivers talks badly about their #1

Rosberg/Hamilton rings a bell.

Makes sense since I drive #44

Overall race went pretty well for me.
Ended up 8th in qualifying which was ok i couldn't string together a fast lap.
Start was pretty good was up into 5th by turn 4 however i ended up letting seth through as i stuffed up in the third attempt at qualifying and was 8th by the next corner. Safety car came out and once the ultra soft runners pit i knew they wouldn't be a threat. After the safety car came in Spectre, Viperzed, Seth, Beau and myself all drove away from the rest of the field. I ended up getting bumped by a Ferrari at the hairpin which nearly spun me out apart from that i didn't make any other contact. We all pitted around the same time and had the long run home on the softs. After the stop i was 5th on the road however Jono and Pringles had to stop again. Managed to pass Pringles just before he pitted again and when Jono stopped i was third behind Seth and Beau.
I started gaining rapidly on Beau by nearly a second a lap, Ended up passing him at turn one with about five laps to go and ended up going "Hammertime" to try and gain on Seth however we kept running similar times and with 2 to go and a 4 second advantage i gave up knowing 2nd place and 18 points were better then a crashed car and no points. I honestly felt sorry for Beau who again got screwed over with a 10 second penalty was looking forward to a great battle.

Overall my luck on street circuits has been pretty insane 2nd at Monaco 1st at Baku and 2nd at Singapore.
I also have to say after some previously chaotic starts i think the start last night was one of the best i've seen all season looked very clean and tidy from where i was. I also finally figured the race replay out but stupidly forgot to save the footage so that's slightly annoying i should have footage for Malaysia however you may have to tell me how to record the whole race as i pretty sure since it's 100% it'll go for more than an hour.

@The_Spectre

That was a tough race, especially to stay off the walls but went better than I expected. I had some minor front wing damage from bumping the wall at turn 19, I'm glad I didn't lose a wheel then. I had a pretty lonely race except for when the leaders came through very fast while I was on my worn soft tyres. I knew I wasn't actually racing for position with those guys, but I didn't want to lose any time for my race either. So although I didn't drive defensively, I didn't yield unless I saw they were committed. When I exited the pits from my final stop, with only @X-WTF_MAN-X in front on softs who let me past, I was basically the only car in that sector of the track so I felt no pressure to drive on the limit. But with about 5 laps to go I could see the guys in front we're having a bit of a battle. So I started to use all the grip I could get out of my ultra soft tyres optimistically hoping I could catch them if there was an incident. I'm definitely happy for a 5th, hopefully the next race I'm in I can up my pace a bit and get amongst it!

Was kinda funny how you turned into me yet your driver throws his hand up in frustration...

imagine how my driver feels every week

I did consider protesting that overtake, given that I was both in front and had the inside line into the chicane yet I felt like I was kinda shoved out of the way.

But by that time my race was pretty stuffed due to the fact that I wasnt willing to pull off moves like that to get passed people after pitting on the safety car.
