Why? Rear floor damage can cost more than 1 second per lap pace you can see how hard it is to pass here you need like a 1 second or greater pace advantage for an easy pass or someone ahead of you to make a mistake.blastdoman wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 16:39Regardless of the damage to the car, Ricardo's race is absolutely shameful.
You may be right but I am very disappointed with Ricardo's work this year. His race today is nothing more than a reflection of the year he has beenScottR267 wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 16:42Bit harsh!

We will never know but in my opinion Ricardo's pace is not so much a reflection of the car's damage but of his lack of paceDragonSGC wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 16:44Why?

Do you have the pitwall data to corroborate that? rear floor damage has always been massive especially in the hybrid erablastdoman wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 16:48We will never know but in my opinion Ricardo's pace is not so much a reflection of the car's damage but of his lack of paceDragonSGC wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 16:44Why?

Unfair to assume anything in this circumstance. Seidls comments before the restart was enough to suggest there is significant damage.blastdoman wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 16:48We will never know but in my opinion Ricardo's pace is not so much a reflection of the car's damage but of his lack of pace
Obviously not, they are simply sensations of what he transmits to me on the track.DragonSGC wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 16:51Do you have the pitwall data to corroborate that? rear floor damage has always been massive especially in the hybrid erablastdoman wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 16:48We will never know but in my opinion Ricardo's pace is not so much a reflection of the car's damage but of his lack of pace
