Q 2 R 1
Quali was ok. Was hoping to get 3 solid runs in but screwed up my second run and abandoned it. The race start was ok, lost a spot to Neale early on but got pst him after a couple laps when he made a slight mistake out of the second chicane. I was trying everything i could to lessen the gap to Will up front but he was quick. I started to reel him in a bit and i thought maybe his tyres were starting to go off about halfway through the first stint. He had the error at Ascari and i went into P1. I stopped for fresh tyres at lap 21 and Will carried on for another lap or two so i guess his tyres weren't that bad. stayed in P1 till the end. had a small error at the first chicane and lost 12 seconds but that was my one and only error. Congratulations to Neale and Sean for the podium spots. And shout out to my TM for the Fastest lap.

Seb will more than likely retire at the end of this season and if young Schumacher or young Alesi have a good F2 run in then one of those will end up in that seat, Lewis isn’t going anywhere, why would he want to leave the only credible chance of more World Championships? You could argue that if Lewis was driving for Ferrari then they may have won more championships but their main downfall recently is operational and not performance based, it’s been in their culture since the team was founded and that’s something that won’t change overnight That's it exactly Dave. The issues at Ferrari have been with the team more than with the drivers. I would hate to see Vettel leave at the end of this season, but if he doesn't improve his results in the last few races i could see it happening. I'd much rather see him on in another car if he's going to leave Ferrari, but where would he go? Where could he go? not many seats available next year, and not many teams good enough for him (in his eyes). Unfortunately he’s cooked his own goose, he’s shown that he can’t race wheel to wheel under pressure and he can’t deal with a younger, faster driver in his own team, if you look at our team and Redbull, we both have a definite number 1 and 2, Max and Lewis are the dominant drivers over their respective teammates, Seb was found out by Danni Ric at RBR then again with LeClerc at Ferrari. If he does leave Ferrari then that’ll be the end of his racing career, there’s no seat for him at ours or Red Bull which are the only options, McLaren and Renault aren’t ready for a title bid and he’s too expensive for the teams further down the grid

I can't see Vettell going anywhere that isn't going to give him a Championship chance which really limits his options massively.

Damn. Total loss of concentration on my part. I came upon the AI driven car of stealthy at the lesmos. It was so slow on entry and I took wing damage. On the back straight into parabolica I was managing the damage on the display and missed the 100 meter board. Had no chance once I was on the gravel. Really sorry. Did you make contact with the AI driven stealth car Greg? It should have been ghosted. It was not ghosted. I made up huge distance on it into the 1st lesmo then made contact in the 2nd as the AI is so slow in the corners, just wasn't expecting it to be. I actually noticed in the pre race screen that "ghosting" was off but I thought that meant for spun cars not AI cars.

I was testing things earlier in the week and must have altered the saved settings by accident. I'll double check them before the next race. Also, if you ever notice something in the settings that looks off before we get going just shout out in the party.

I still made it thru the next chicane and only crashed because I missed the turn, not from the actual damage.

Maybe Vettel could bring Williams back to former glory.LOL
It would be cool to see him head over to prototypes and endurance racing. Ferrari is an icon, but man they would be difficult to deal with.
I'd also like to see Lando go to Redbull and be 2 to Verstappen, but he is probably with McLaren for the next decade.
Didn't realize Stealth wasn't ghosted and amy blue markers I came across were always very good around lead cars. Still, it is too bad there isn't a virtual mirror in this game. There is no way to see them without a completely jacked up FOV.

Q - 2 R - DNF Got seriously blocked by a Ferrari in qualifying use ye mirrors guys lol 1st lap put my foot down whilst going over kerb span unsurprisingly to the back i went. Made my way back up to 3rd before my final pitstop then 1st Lesbo i ran a bit wide was in a gear too high on turn it when finally went down to the right it just span up and shot across into the barrier ending thy race. Yeah sorry about that Boothy116 but coming out of pits and having a FOV to match it the mirrors are of no use, I did apologise and I am normally the first to give way to ALL you guys .. I don’t have the beauty of a 3 screen view like those on PC but I get your point and will try harder.. I just can’t race with a FOV of 0 when my screen is 5-6 ft away from me sorry..

Qualy - 1st Race -4th Qualy - Was really surprised to get pole, especially as iv'e had very little practice around monza Race - Had a decent start & got into the groove for the first 10 laps or so, then i started making stupid mistakes. I had trouble picking out my breaking point before the ascari chicane & went flying into the gravel dropping down to 2nd. Then more mistakes followed & i got tangled up with mike whilst lapping him. I overtook him but i don't think he realised i was lapping him & he attacked back at me sending one up the inside of turn one hitting me off across the chicane & i got a penalty. After that i spun off a couple more times & hit the wall on my last lap lol Still an enjoyable evening of racing & i'll look forward to the next one Sorry about turn one Will but just because you had s blue flag doesn’t mean I have to give up racing , I sent myself up the inside and made a fair pass it was up to you to ease your way round, I have a right to try and un-lap myself don’t I or isn’t that racing .. After all you didn’t finish the race but still got 4th place.. not sure how that works really.

Horizontal allllll the way back and no chance of seeing mirrors. Qualifying is tough. I may have screened Gurt thinking he wanted me out of the way instead of trying to tow him. Hell, it was a cluster**** in the real qualifying 3 at Monza the other day.lol

Quali: 7th Race: 6th Report up tomorrow.. but apart from the last stint this was probably one of my worst ever races, no idea what was going on!! Monza is a weird track that kind of lulls people to sleep and most corners are fast enough to end a race or ruin tires. Where you went off on the 10th lap, I went off there and I know at least one more person did.
