Here's a way to explain it that this guy might get the idea about how close the competition is at a race like this. There's maybe a 20 second span between TQ and say, 70th place on the grid in any given round. Take that 20 seconds and spread it across 70 drivers. That's a little under .3 sec race time between each drivers run on average. Not lap time, race time. You go wide one extra time in a corner, you just lost a spot on the grid. You hit the kink once and have to be marshalled, there's 20 spots right there. So please stop making this race out to be less than it is. I know I was in the G main. As I said before, I had a rough week. I'm over it. Why aren't you?
