Nah Ken, I don't think it's fair for you to be excluded from the points. I've said before that a certain level of speed isn't a requirement of the championship so if you're still driving when the chequered flag drops, then as far as i'm concerned, you finished the race 👍
That would be good for the team, we'll take all we can get 👍
However, I didn't realise you were that far back so it looks like you'll receive 6th place if DarkPSI did indeed make it to lap 36 and he'll get 5th. I believe he was on the lead lap when he crashed.
All this said, i'm surprised Ken because you showed in that Catalunya practice that you had very respectable pace. Is it still the race 'nerves' getting the better of you?
Honestly, I think it was a combination of things:
1. Sadly, not enough practice time this week. I was way too busy to be able to get behind the wheel.
2. Race nerves, but not quite as bad as Catalunya, I relaxed much quicker this time.
3. A lot of talk about what a blood bath it was going to be
4. Monaco is very unforgiving, slightest mistake in the wrong place and game over. Made me very conservative come race time.
5. As a result of wanting to keep the car on the track, I used a very conservative set up. I would have had to be quite aggressive to maintain position, and I clearly was not!
6. At least 5 pit stops for nose wings, that I can remember. Might have been more, lol.
7. Being conscious of not wanting to be the cause of someone elses disaster, made me hold back too.
Not trying to make excuses, it's all stemming from me. I've only been driving for a little over 8 months, prior to that it had been a good 20 years since I played any drivers. I'm slowly gaining confidence, ability and learning the tracks. I'll get there.
Wish I was able to take part in all the practice sessions you guys put together. Fun and useful
I was hoping to get the small points ... Maybe next time? Congratulations to the winner and all those who have completed this deadly race.
