RD Formula Manager - Season 5

[rubaru]

@rubaru - A double points finish and Trulli scores his first point. How do you feel?

The team again is having a wonderful time. Morale is through the roof, couldn't be better. Our progress thru the season has been in baby steps, but we are confident more points finishes are on the way.

@kedy89 - Peterson got the title. Last race will be a cruise as you have both of the titles? Also what just happened with Alonso? No one expected this end for the Spanish driver in this race.

We'll go into it a bit more relaxed, but will nonetheless push for the win again. As for Alonso's retirement, that was down to a communication mistake. The strategy was calculated on point, but it's not of much use if the team manager fails to properly communicate them to his driver. I told him to run a higher engine mode than he was supposed to, causing a higher fuel usage. As it happened just the lap before the stop, there was nothing we could do to save the situation unfortunately.

We'll go into it a bit more relaxed

does that mean you won't win by 3 laps but only 2?

Japan is a longer track, so maybe just 1.5

Hit the jackpot with the engine tests. Not. Also shame that like every 2nd risky I do ends up in tyre upgrades.

At least the other one ended up in next year chassis. +3 speed advantage over me that won't be just fixed by the engine, because the gap is only 1 point.

Remember when you said you'll never catch Aston in terms of speed upgrades? Looks who's got more in that category now. Things can change quickly.
