me

06:24

out as you can see 110% difficulty is

06:27

pretty tough

06:32

oh my God

06:33

so I think with the

06:36

improved I was was going to say the

06:39

improved handling much easier to

06:43

control the tire degradation as well

06:48

now cuz as although there was a lot

06:51

before actually controlling is now

06:54

available was not always the easiest but

06:57

I think now it's a lot more accurate

07:01

with all the tire temperatures carcass

07:03

surf oh what an overtake sorry Alex good

07:07

job that was the fastest lap of the race

07:08

so far fastest lap I'm on

07:11

07:24

drive-thru otherwise I'm about to get

07:25

08:03

absolute classic challenge so we uh we

08:07

got to qualified from race one um so now

08:11

we're on to race two Spa I put it even

08:13

on pouring rain surprised they haven't

08:15

canceled the race to be honest but

08:17

anyway we're going to go straight in I

08:19

don't know where I've qualified no

08:21

qualifying we're just straight into the

08:23

race I'm going to not jump to start this

08:25

time

08:31

I feel like this could go very

08:33

wrong oh my God

08:36

Oscar nice gosh Hamilton break testing

08:38

me just did a Fernando all right okay be

08:41

careful I got damage taken some minor

08:44

damage oh my

08:47

God she's slippery that's what she

08:52

said get out my need to give that place

08:54

back I'm afraid that was an illegal

08:55

overtake illegal

08:57

overtake oh God I've gone

09:00

wide oh God yes normally I'm good here

09:04

in the rain until Q3 then I end up in

09:07

the wall but the best Improvement on

09:09

this generally is the

09:13

handling even though I just went off the

09:15

track the handling is a lot more

09:17

accurate a lot more

09:21

controllable what I am not doing is not

09:23

the most accurate

09:25

just oh my

09:28

God who is that I think Oscar just took

09:30

me out who was that Fernando mate

09:33

Fernando mate so it's a lot more

09:35

controllable and a lot more accurate

09:39

because in the past the grip's just been

09:41

too high in the rain now you almost feel

09:44

like you're drifting and it's actually

09:46

an accurate

09:47

feeling of exactly how it should be okay

09:51

take it easy on the car we can't sustain

09:53

this level of damage it's not very good

09:55

I don't know if IOU is

09:57

flat I don't think it's is let's try it

10:02

oh my God oh my God oh my God na it I'm

10:06

actually very impressed the

10:08

handling in the rain is one of the

10:10

hardest things to get

10:12

correct

10:17

but it's

10:20

very today junior accurate mainly cuz

10:23

I'm the fastest one out there so it's

10:25

very accurate but uh

10:30

the feeling you have of like when you're

10:34

sliding over pushing cor Corners the

10:38

[ __ ] Corning Corning mate the [ __ ]

10:41

Corning but the feeling you get now when

10:43

you're you're cornering and controlling

10:46

the slides is a big step

10:50

better than what it was before you kind

10:54

of have a snap you'd lose it easy to

10:56

spin oh my God George get out of my way

11:02

mate there we go that's not like it do

11:05

one mate but you need good car control

11:08

like it's not easy you have to correct

11:11

the car a lot sliding a lot you have to

11:13

be pretty accurate with it all and uh

11:16

that's a good thing because it's the

11:19

same in the real car so here I go

11:21

overtake oh my god I've gone in so hot

11:30
