AC Lotus 49 vs. Ferrari 458 S 3 @ Mugello - Tue May 10th 2022

At some point during the race I thought to myself that it's boring if Allan doesn't make a mistake and I've almost finished the event.
But then...
A great final phase.

Hm, @Jekabs Silins ?

The second incident was already in rage state, I guess? Not the fault of other people as far as I see it. (Colin was clearly in front of you and hit the brake to be cautious. Certainly not to brake check you)

I'm talking about the first incident, I got caught out at the second one. Didn't expect him to brake midcorner.

Yep. That's why I tagged @Jekabs Silins to see what he has to say about this...

I don't want to make a fuss about it you know.. but it is a bit frustrating.

I braked because I was trying not to understeer into the person on my left. First lap is always a bit frantic so hoping to stay out of trouble.

Idk what I was thinking in the first first corner. Maybe I braked too late but still baaad. When I saw him going into a spin I nudged him straight (is that ok to do?) and I let him through in the next corner, so no hard feelings?

@Jekabs Silins
Yes, i noticed that and you waited for him, as frustrating as it is, a typical first corner racing incident.
Ironically happens to me a lot, invariably my fault for being super cautious, I went for it this time, maybe a mix of go for it and cautious is a problem in itself.

Yeah, I had 3 T1 incidents in the Classic F1 series and now again.. I suppose it was getting a bit much. The race is 40 mins long, by being more cautious you do not ruin the race of others.
