This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
Well, first I have to admit that I started having dinner at 21:00 PM yesterday and I just finished today at 2:30. These are Spanish hours and also Spanish customs: we have the habit of extending what we call 'sobremesa,' which is talking about anything that seems interesting to us for a long time.
Right now our main concern is to know if the car wears out the tires more or less quickly than the rest of the competitors. We have less power than the others, but Hungaroring isn't an engine circuit. So it works in our favor. If tomorrow during the race it turns out that the car wears the tires less than the other contenders behind the top 10, we will have hopes.
For us, Fernando is like a modern version of El Cid. Unfazed by discouragement, he will fight until the end using his intelligence in our way: he will take advantage of any small edge, no matter how tiny, to improve any possible outcome. I don’t think he’ll manage to get into the top 10, possibly, but at least he’ll stop having a wooden sword. He’ll be able to fight.
I seriously doubt that on other tracks where the engine is decisive he will be able to compete with the same guarantees. But at least, finally, he’ll be able to have fun.
Time will give us the answer but -finally- we are not the last. Or at least that seems to be the case in Hungary.
Note: El Cid, whose name was Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, was a hero (perhaps the most outstanding of our history). He fought against practically everyone, both supposed allies and/or declared enemies. And he smashed them all to bits even after he was dead. Unlike other characters in medieval European literature, his life and feats are much more real and well-documented.
Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear.
