this last session was a disaster
hello guys I'm here with my amazing griiip g1 and I'm talking about a special
grave G1 because for this race weekend they've made a custom livery for
me...This is my number. I really can't wait to jump on this car tomorrow and race with it and you're
probably wondering why I'm recording the intro of this video now on Friday
evening and the reason is simple because tomorrow morning I won't have time to
record the intro because this weekend I'm gonna be racing with both formula
predator's and griiip G1 so on Saturday I'm gonna have six session and one race
and on Sunday one session and three races with two different cars it's gonna be
crazy so tomorrow morning first session 8:10 with the formula predators
immediately after I finish I jump up the car I run here I get on the car and I
start the first session with the griiip G1 you won and not only it's gonna be a
crazy weekend but they also expect a lot of rain so it's gonna be crazy
okay
they should ban dry races I mean every race should be on wet it's it's so cool
to drive on the rain I love it I mean it's awesome it's awesome really I can
describe G1 one on wet one of the most undriveable things my whole life I
mean I was not that the most undriveable because the most undriveable
was last year with formula predators here with dry tires on wet
no way but you know I mean it's so much fun I'm loving it and when it's a
undriveable is just because this is a small track it has no grip Verano has no grip
on wet I remember because I raised with motorbikes here and I remember no grip
you know you can't really use all the powers that you have because you have no
traction but but wait it's awesome I I it is so much fun to run drive in the
rain you can't imagine really you can't imagine by the way this
procession I was struggling a lot with traction
I have no traction and I'm struggling a lot with cornering I keep losing the rear
in mid corner so I cannot bring enough speed inside the turn if I'm able to
bring more speed it will be better because I would not need to accelerate
more to regain speed that's it basically by the way how cool is the new livery
it's amazing
trying to fix the undriveable any of the car
and suggested to something all the suspension
we also the front die die roll bar and
we remove the dairy our anti-roll bar where we'd use that there we are camera
so now
this is because I have traction and I didn't have cream in
the corner so reducing camber you make a bigger part of the tire that's the
ground so we expect to have more breathable traction
in wet conditions machine courses are very low
my counter
now they're finishing the job on the car and I'm going back for the second
session
means yeah
I don't know whether I should be angry or happy because I was doing the best
lap overall and in that lap I spawn and I went to hurt to the gravel so I lost
six minutes waiting for them to push me back on the track five minutes here in
the pit lane to clean the car and the session was over but I was doing the
best lap was ashamed by the way I'm happy because I was going fast and it
means that I have the base to stay in the first three positions so in the next
session I just need to define the limit to understand where it is to understand
what to do or what not to do and try to do again the best lap by the way the car
was much better more drivable more grip and they did a
good job
I don't know how did I go from doing almost the best lap to going four
seconds slower than the first one this last session was a disaster really I
don't know why but I was fighting with the car in every corner either under
steering or over steering I I could not drive it I didn't understand what I was
doing wrong I tried every kind of line every kind of driving I tried everything
and the more I tried the slower Hagar went right really it was a disaster I
took a look Luka Philippe's on board and you know look at Philippe's very pro
driver and it's really a great example to compare with and I saw that first of
all he had a totally different setup he was softer than me he has a totally
different toe than my car but the most important thing was that he just
accelerated later than me I was too quick on going to the throttle and that
led the car to start over steering and never exit the corner and from the
telemetry I saw that he brings more speed inside the corner he waits a lot
before pushing the throttle and this together with the setup allows him to
have more traction and more precision I don't know really I understand that I
cannot pretend to be fast I'm serious started racing and it was my
second time on wet but three seconds are too many really too many tomorrow we
will copy his setup on my car I will try to accelerate later and I see if I can
improve
hi Shiva the last seven yards the eternally lost eg that will put in a
photo channel ago not even a developer your ball nacho why camerin second it's
early I limit it I leave in order to link a few made in same I'm a
consequence even it's early no 0 at Omega DT because I know you she referred
in Vienna and Susanna for secondary
degree she under for different details whoever that tomato is a terrific on
pitch Alfie a shilling a second thing that I missed our pasta as you know the
Silver Meteor DBT
pero please don't be a mobility mobility that's crazy
I think the race is going to be a survival race my strategy would be to go
slow and wait for everyone else to spin because everybody's gonna spin at least
once so there is no other option I'm laughing but I should be crying because
this was the worst result ever in my whole career
not even the first time I drove a race car I was 6 seconds slower than the
first one I can't believe it six freaking seconds
and what makes me sad is that in the first two sessions I was going to make
the best lap I was fast and then and then with no idea probably the other
drivers understood how to interpret these conditions while I didn't but the
real problem is that these conditions were totally abnormal these cars
comparing to the Predators are much more rigid and in this slow track you cannot
take advantage of the downforce but you have to rely only on mechanical
grip and here to the the grape was zero moreover the track
was completely flooded and during the whole qualifying lap it was impossible
to accelerate 100% even on the straight and you know if you just could
accelerate 100% for 100 meters you will gain one second and probably the other
drivers understood where it was possible to accelerate and that's exactly per lap
while at the third time I wish to crash the car due to occur planning I probably
slowed down and said okay let's bring the car home by the way I still do not
understand why with Formula predators I was flying while with grip I was slow
like hell with formula predators I was four seconds faster than grip g1 while
on dry conditions grip are 10 seconds faster this is crazy and this result
shows that I still have a lot to learn and I will take this bad day as
experience now in three hours I will have raced one and the weather is awful
rain is increasing and the track is becoming undriveable I truly don't know
how you would possible to race like that
