I agree, unfortunately that is easier said than done. One person changes their line, that can be for many reasons. Then the domino effect starts, when so many cars are so tightly crammed onto one corner, everyone gets there bit of the action, all tightly wrapped up in the very limited space and time.
I slowed down, the car now in front uses that space to get the nose more onto the corner, that takes away the space from the car on his right, who does the same, the car on his right overshoots his braking in an attempt to compensate for the ground and space he thought he had. One car gets clipped that passed onto the car in the middle, he hits me harder that expected, my car gets turned I hit the car in front, he gets spun around knocking me straight.
Now just maybe, I had not been so careful, there may have been a chance none of the above would have happened, maybe it would have been worse, who knows.
This time I got away lightly, next time maybe not.
As long as no one does anything purposefully, then that is as much as I can expect and hope for. In the end that is how I saw this incident.
Although I moan more than most when I get the wrong end of the stick, I really quite enjoy the lottery, it makes it exciting, allowing some to get high up the field and some to be pushed back.
Then the enjoyment of a real race.
That is what Fulvio gets by starting at the back, pretty sure he does not want the boredom of knocking out 30 uneventful laps race after race.
He knows he will have to run the race from the back with all the variation of different drivers and their foibles.
Sometimes easy sometimes not.
On a side note, I really enjoy battling Han , we are two very different drivers with completely different approach’s to racing,
We are not short of coming together and have pretty much the same pace, he is always fair and I know he is not going to hit me on purpose.
I find no joy in it being all very predictable, every encounter with Han is always exciting and unpredictable, that is the way I like it.
And so to starts, makes for excitement, as long as everyone at least tries to be careful with respect to their driving styles. Some are go for it, with that racing flare, some like me have a more of a Germanic approach, think it through carefully approach.
We are not all the same, thank heavens for that, it would be dull if everyone was like me.
You go first, no you go, no I preferred it if you went in front , all pretty dull.
You can tell I cannot get to sleep again.
