Poor Helder, this topic is probably blow slightly out of proportion
First of all I agree that when we send in a replay of out best lap we should look through it to check that it is within boundaries before sending it in. (not Georgio's responsibillity) The fact that Helder didn't do this is no problem, after all he is new
I have seen other hotlap videos with cutting in them, but I don't usually mention it
We all cut and run wide from time to time, some more than others. The exact line of what is ok and what is not is hard to define as there is still a difference in opinion. I know Peter are among those who respect the white line the most, thus probably being slightly provoked when he sees the majority both being less rigid about the white line AND being faster...
I know that I probably run more wide in a race than Peter and perhaps others like. I always try to be on the right side, but I rather go slightly wide every now and then than go slower to be 100% sure that I will never cut. I do not think I am worse than the average though... so the question will always remain, how do one draw a line between what is ok and what is not.
I think one should make sure that the pb displayed on PrestoGP.com is 100% leagal, if it isn't, try to beat it with a leagal time. Some times people contact me to say that their PB is illegal and ask me to delete it. I usually doesn't, because it takes me some time to find it in the databases etc. So I prefere that you beat it yourself
Further more it is important that the qual lap is 100% clean.
In the race one should have a minimum of cuts and wides, and when one see the replay one should get the clear impression that the wides is the exceptions of the rule (that the normal racing line is within the track boundaries) and the wide is only marginal. So how many wides in a race is ok? Hard to say, 5 wides perhaps +/-? Bottom line is intention, and that no-one want's to win based on pushing the rules further than others. However, it seems to be that Peter's high standards relative to many others might cost him a tenth ot two each lap, because he is taking just a little bit more care.
