God dam it! How did I throw that away. It’s only a small loss but it’s still annoying seeing as I had a green book before the start of qualy.
I don’t know how Lewis is all of a sudden so much quicker than everyone else. I know he was quick before but never was the gap to everyone else so big. One possible reason is the competition. Kimi may as well clear his desk and retire now. We didn’t see Massa’s final lap but it was poor (maybe traffic) and I hope Heikki has more fuel otherwise he should not be that much slower than Lewis. As for BMW they seem to have decided this year is over and are putting there energy into KERS for 2009. Toyota…. you spineless fools! You had the pace to get pole but it looks like you screwed that up by taking the safe option of reasonable fuel levels. Nobody wants to take a chance these days.
Were to go from here then? I had backed Heikki for race win and if he does have more fuel then he’s in with a good chance. It’s looked like he can manage the tyres better of the long runs so he just needs to stick with Lewis and then jump him in the pits if he does have more fuel.
I know the reason for my loss – the title of my last post says it all. I had no real idea of what my plan was. I could have taken good greens in-play on Massa when I backed him at 9.6 (later traded in the 3’s) but his final runs didn’t work out. There were a number of positions (such as Trulli @ 240 later traded 40’s) I was in but just let them run because my overall liability was small. If I has concentrated on one position, knowing what conditions I would exit under etc I would have easily made a profit and that the annoying part.
I’m out tonight so I will have to look at things in the morning.
