RDFIA OFFICIAL PRESS CONFERENCE
@Rami Saidy Congratulation on your first win, from an old teammate. How does it feel to finally have the monkey off your back?
@Alexander Macdonald You took the pole but a slow stop saw you lose the place. Thoughts on that and the late race antics?
@James Chant You took a great tally of points here, and the team are still leading rivals OR in the constructors. Plans for half season?
@Jimlaad43 You got a great finish for Renault, how is the team after @Fred Owen was unable to finish?

Remember guys, respect others thoughts
i'm watching you

We felt cheated of a win after Alex made a fantastic start, but our realistic aim is to aim for the constructors title, and maybe myself or Alex can push or the drivers championship too. It's still early days, and any number of drivers are still in contention

My tyres dropped off on my in lap, which is what caused me to be overtaken. I won't dwell on what happened at the end but with this new rule a close eye needs to be kept on posts to make sure nobody edits out an illegal post.

It feels great, finally I have won a race, it was long overdue. Perhaps in S18 I should have won but still finished strongly. The momentum has improved, I celebrated with joy, and loled when the fellow Honda factory drivers were at the RDFIA's office (Too much Heineken?). But yes, I am thrilled with this win. I respect your Rules Bernie Keranen like the other drivers do. Hopefully, this win is the first of many, we now will move the focus to Monza

Good to see people owning up to their mistakes and not acting the innocent victim... because that would be a very bad idea, after the moderator was kind enough to give them a second chance. But I digress, hopefully I can remount my championship challenge after my poor run of form.

Utzer was injured after qualifying when his car rode a high kurb and the impact of his body in the cockpit caused some damage. There is no definite on when he'll be back, but it is a second season that he won't see every race.

The doctors are saying i am not allowed to race for at least a week, but if everything is better than expected i might be able to participate in some sessions.

A bit off-topic but I saw the World Cup 2014 Play-Offs draw, and the teammates @the_sigman and @Florin Diaconescu may be rivals after all

Jimlaad43 · Oct 21, 2013

When is the next round?

We never know

I'm hoping he adds the results before he starts the next race

He has already recognised the winner

But, they can go through to Brazil.

Both teams are good, so we're set for an interesting two matches

I wish!

FACT: A Jordan 1-2 has not happened this season

Aidan Keranen · Oct 23, 2013

Well, half the season is gone, here's to the next half being better while also less controversial. So, where is the best place to head immediately after that? Why, we must make a pilgrimage to the home of speed, Monza.

GOGOGOGO!!

The Tifosi are out in force, hunting for a glorious victory by their beloved Ferrari, or at least Ferrari engined, that'll do too. Honda have had the upper hand so far this season, but if Ferrari can turn the tables anywhere, this is the place.
With half the season gone, we could still see anyone take the title, though mathematically we really doubt Gary will be taking 10 wins in a row...

Good Luck Racers!
