oneGP F1 Post Race Interview

• Wisniewski - Congratulations on yet another victory. On top of that, you continued your 100% victory ratio in races that you've finished and claimed second place in the points championship by 7 points.
  

Q: This seemed like a fairly uneventful race for you. There was no point in which you lost the lead, apart from the necessary pit stop. So there's no much to ask you except.. what's your secret? =)

"Btw, its not that easy to win every time participating, especially when Taylor and Filo are behind ;]. Taylor is really someone you dont want to have behind you for 38 laps, I know how regular he was in the Aston North Rev config, when I made some mistakes and he overtook me. I also worried if they will not repair damage so i started to go like hell to create 14 sec lead in 38 laps. Fortunate it was 14 sec in almost 18 laps xd. I even managed to repair twice so i could go as I wanted. Bloody track anyway, again suspension was a big problem ;/.

Back to the question ; Its hard to have any events while being first, its just about keeping pressure and high racing tempo. And there really was place when i could loose it, probably Eriksson saw me flying through the grass, after SC tires were soo cold, I felt over and over, he didn't make any mistakes and just get closer. For a moment he got under my slipstream so there was opportunity to overtake me. But as they got hotter I made some 28's to make things straight :dopey:
But my secret is good people around with good setups, because I'm noobish at them ;/"

Q: In your opinion, what was the most difficult part of the race?

"In whole event it was qualy; definitely. I had to hold pressure in last measured lap, it was really hard because my previous pb was 1:26:60; I'm happy the way it ended.

Apart from that, every time SC was gone, and tires were cold as ice, i struggled a lot and almost lost it at lap 3 when for example Filo shoot out in fast corner, and i was only 10 cm from grass at the same time. It would be much more interesting if Taylor and Felix didn't make that easy mistakes.

Last thing for Deko, SC were to often on track at really not that “dangerous” situations. Filo's crash looked pretty nasty but he ended in a v safe place, where it was impossible to hit him while going to wide. And last neutralization caused by Falkenberg was also rather safe I think, anyway you must be more careful m8 plz "

• Eriksson - Your race was also fairly uneventful after you, quite luckily, made it through the first turn chaos. Congrats on a well driven race and a deserved second place.
  

"Yes, the start was interesting to say the least. There was only some minor suspension damage which was pretty amazing. After that the race was as you said fairly uneventful with Paul and Felix making mistakes and Wisniewski going off in the distance. I tried to put pressure on him during the restarts but I could not get close enough. Overall, it was a pretty good result for the team. Paul gave me a great set and then made a great comeback in the race."

Q: You were unchallenged for almost the whole race until the last safety car left the track. Was the pressure of having Taylor so close getting to you?

"Not too much. The car was feeling pretty good at that point, so it was more a matter of not making any major mistakes and to keep the pace up."

Q: In your opinion, what was the most difficult part of the race?

"Definitely the restarts. The car is always a bit unpredictable when the tires are cold and on this track it is very easy to make mistakes."

• Taylor - Unarguably, you had the toughest race of the day. You came from a lap down to finish third. That moves you up four spots in the drivers championship to 4th. Well done.
  

Q: You seemed to accumulate a heavy amount of damage to your right rear suspension towards the end of the race. Did that effect the handling of your car or was it more minor than the data led on?

"It didn't affect the handling of the car at all it just affected my approach to the curbs and the corkscrew where I eased off near the end of the race. The damage there was 50% at my pit stop so it was always going to be close but had I repaired at pit stop I wouldn't have unlapped myself and probably only achieved 6th at best."

Q: In your opinion, what was the most difficult part of the race?

"Driving slowly behind the safety car and attempting to keep tyres warm!"

Q: And one more bonus question for you to clarify to those who didn't hear. What exactly happened that caused you to go a lap down in the first few laps? I believe this is a first for oneGP.

"Haha, lets just say I'm going to unbind the ignition function from the I key before the next race "
