Sorry couldnt do race as i had my last piece of coursework for my history degree to be done on the historiography of history and whether historians primarily intend to write about power relations. so as you can tell by the title it was long, boring and stoped me from racing

LOL, doesn't sound good As for Montreal, from my quick tests we should be looking at times below 1:14.000.

Next 3 races should be interesting...I never raced on 2 of the tracks and never tested at Montreal with the physics we use so, extra work for me

...good good, may create a more level playing field, hopefully i can get a podium in one of the next races And I never raced at Montreal too since GP2 ;D But looking back to the races we've raced, all of them was a first experience for me under the actual race distance rules, so I shouldnt have problems at Montreal

VincenziDiogo, another fantastic win here today, how are your thoughts? VincenziThe conditions were very wet and we saw people spinning off the track through-out the race, how was the track conditions for you? thankyou. castelloBruno, congratulations on second place, you were looking good this weekend... Castelloyou're now just four points behind Finlay and one ahead of Matthews, can you beat these guys in the upcoming races? FinlayMatt, we didn't see much of you today, but you got third...so tell us about it? VincenziDiogo back to you, next race is Montreal, a track which you missed last year, how do you rate your chances? i'm running out of questions to ask lol, there's only so many ways i can write "diogo, great win..."

Well, it feels really fantastic. Last year we ended up not winning the neither of the German GPs so winning here now is really great for us and the fans. Everything went out ok, although we had a bad start. The car felt good though and it was possible to overtake to regain the positions.
Yeah, it was a bit slippery, but our setup was good so I was able to keep the car on track. There was a moment that I went a bit too wide and when hitting the kerbs the car danced a bit, but it wasn't too bad.
Tough to say. Having not raced there last year some of the other drivers will probably have a better chance then I do. But we have a long testing now which should help us to get a good result again. Personally I think the other two races at Indianapolis and Magny-Cours will bring the cars closer together. But we'll see.

Well that race wasnt too bad, i tohught i did rather well for my first in the wet so im happy, plus i go some points . Well now i can say that i have lead a grand prix ;P maybe only for the first 3 corners but hey, i lead it. I have moved onto canada now, did a few laps yesterday with a very rough setup, fastest so far is a 15.6xx so little more imporvments here and there might get some more lovely points. Good job Diogo and Bruno, nice to see some action at the front. Hopefully soon someone can beat Diogo. Anyway i read something about a test session. Whats that all about?

Yeah, we've found a good dry set-up for Nurburgring, I was quite confident for that race, the rain came in and ruined my victory dreams... So the team had to work the whole night to configure a wet-setup for the car, it was good throughout the weekend but not enough to beat Vincenzi... but hey, the team worked hard to deliver a fantastic car here, I did my best and we should be happy with this result.
The bad news is that my teammate still have some issues with his braking system, but we hope to have them solved in the future, so he can join the front runners and help me with these guys. But the good news is that the car now is much more easier to drive than it was since Monaco, the new steering wheel really delivered a performance boost here, so I think that if we keep working hard, we can expect more from the "Ralties" for the next races. With this in mind, I think that we can beat these guys.

Well it wasn't a terribly good race for us, the car has a very small sweet spot and it's difficult to get the perfect setup. in places like australia, spain and monaco we found the sweet spot and things went well, but places like malaysia, imola and here, we were just lost. third place is satisfactory, but we were lucky that Matthews wasn't competing or it would've been fourth. Still, we'll go to Montreal now and test there along with the other teams and hopefully we'll be on Vincenzi's pace come race day. I'm not sure that i can repeat my 2005 success here, but I'll give it a good shot
