NAEDANGERDAVID IS ROBBED OF HIS FIRST A1881 WIN AFTER FIA DECISION!
Naedangerdavid got his first A1881 win in his Mercedes, just behind Saul Goatman’s VISA RB, but was classified as the winner after the controversial time penalty of Saul. FIA later removed Saul's penalty and restored Saul's win. Rothnz reached his first podium this season in Haas…
Race began after a wet qualifying with Dunce on pole in McLaren. He seemed to carry the pace but was unable to keep the car on track and received massive amount of time penalties. First half of the race went relatively calm but two safety cars in middle and late part of the race shuffled the grid with different strategies. David was mostly around the front pack, and chose to pick soft tyres after the last SC when there were 15 laps to go. Him and Saul were left battling in front and had a controversial moment where Saul went slightly off track after their contact, and this brought him a 3 seconds penalty to determine the winner. Naedangerdavid finally showed what he’s capable of and gave a cool headed and down to earth interview:
Naedangerdavid: That
was a very intense race.
I'm just glad to
finally be able to show my true potential. I am very fortunate to have the win,
as Saul was absolutely flying in his final stint and without the 3 second
penalty, the race would have been lost on the last lap. I do feel that is a
slightly hollow win because of that fact, but I am also honoured to be up there
on the list of race winners, especially at a 100% race around the technical
track which is Singapore. My race was perfect from start until the final lap,
where I picked my only track limits warning due to a little squeeze from Saul
however I feel this was hard and fair racing and I was not going to look for a
penalty. It made for a climactic finish.
I also do appreciate
Saul may request the removal of the penalty he received, which I feel would be
unfair for that to happen given the factors that occurred in that moment
however I would probably request it if I was in his shoes and lost the win…
FIA decision to restore Saul's win have deprived David of his first win. Saul refused to comment after the verdict to give him back the victory.
With these results, the order for especially P2 from P6 in
championship tightened up. Endru once more was far from his usual position but
ended up P4 in his Williams, which once more helped him extend his championship
lead, as his main rival Selecta retired. He was followed by Rollie who had his
best result in Ferrari this season, and was butchered with a 10s penalty to
cost him a possible P4 due to Endru's time penalties. Dunce was classified as P6 after deduction of 24 seconds of
penalty, yet he claimed the fastest lap in McLaren. Behind him was Bhavish in
his Aston in P7. Keon finished P8 in his Redbull. Ironghost the quickest comms
man has finished P9 in Haas and successfully got rid of his eggplant, in a race
where he could get much better. Tvoje’s pace seem to disappear somewhere in
last two races, this time giving him P10 in his VCar. Last driver alive on
track was Crunchypancake, in his quest to save himself from the
lowest 4 average score and to save Redbull and himself from the bottom of the
standings...
AA_Mejg, Justin, Ibbo, Rian, Selecta, Vedaboi, Dan, Varea
