HAGGISNT WINS %100 LENGTH SAUDI ARABIAN GP AND SPICES UP THE TITLE FIGHT TO KEEP THE CROWN!
Haggisnt extracted the most of Rianc’s early retirement and
got his second win in Alphatauri this season. Behind him was AdamLindberg in
Williams coming from the back of the grid. Rothnz lost out to his reserve
teammate in last turn, settling for P3…
Haggisnt was unlucky with a game error to give him an unfair
5-place grid penalty and began the race in P12, somewhere he’s not used to.
Rianc was on the lead as always until he did a classic T4 retirement. After
that Haggisnt had to deal with Williams and the Mercedes of Valward but it didn’t
seem to be hard for him at all, finishing 12 seconds ahead of the
Williams duo, pulling a Verstappen. He was surprised to see this, as he
downplayed his title chances while answering reporters, mid-week.
Haggisnt: So this win
was completely unexpected. Had a pretty terrible qualifying after the grid pen
and qualifying in 7th meant I was in the midfield for the start. I kind of just
accepted I wasn’t getting a podium especially with the pace of everyone else.
But kept it clean throughout the race think I also had slightly higher
downforce than most so I was very comfortable in the car. was also helped by
Selecta and Rian finding the walls and a 🍆 Once I took the lead it was quite an easy
rest of the race with Naedanger and Roth fighting and Roth on the 2 stop vs my
3 stop, I just needed to have a consistent pace to take the win. Glad I can put Rian under a little pressure for the championship. Would also be happy to
collect all the A1881 medals (by coming 2nd) though…
AdamLindberg reserved for Saul Goatman in Williams and showed
another incredible performance. Rumour is that he is going to be finding
his place in grid by taking a full time seat not later than next week… Rothnz The Goat
was also benefiting from Rianc retirement, but surely would like his reserve
teammate leave P2 to him, when he was so much in need of points, but these Swede guys are cold you know...
Valward chose staying out in worn tyres in last SC and this
didn’t seem to help a lot, finishing P4. Behind him was Naedangerdavid who
shouldered Haas while their superstar was out of the game. P6 we saw Rollie in
Alfa Romeo, showing good pace and trying to keep his team in the fight
for the best of the rest, while contribution from the other driver of the team
continues remaining minimal… P7 was Bhavish in Ferrari, showing very good quali pace and
hard and fair battling with Rollie throughout the race, even tried hard in last
laps with worn tyres. He definitely showed big improvement in his consistency
as well, showing his teammate who is driver Number 1 in Ferrari... Following Bhavish we saw Dan
The Man in Alpine, hours remaining to his birthday. Happy birthday man! P9 was
Magnelman in Ferrari, reaching his best result this season, after many unlucky
races. Burtay was only able to come 10th in Alfa Romeo, still better than 11th
though, 4 more points than that at least… Tbran had to serve a quali ban and
could only climb up to 11th with Alpine, hurting his chance against Rollie in
championship but still ahead of his teammate, which is the only thing matters in
this cruel sport. Tvoje also had to serve a quali ban in Mercedes and finished
somewhere close to his average, at P12. At P13 we had Kast in Aston who showed respectable consistency once more. Sir
Ibbo legend was once more the last driver alive on track, bringing what he can
to his Redbull…
Rianc, Selecta, Inginne, Butcher, Inginne and Varea were all
eggplanted. Inginne had a difficult race physically and couldnt handle the physically
demanding nature of this track and Varea was unlucky to hit the parked car of
him, at a difficult place on track where he couldnt see the cause of the
yellows until the very last moment. Rianc’s retirement spiced the title fight
while McLarens retirement hurt them in the tight fight for the best of the rest
in WCC. Keon’s retirement was just half a lap short to be classified and they
closed the week with zero points eventually.
