    Never thought of that, I know on Formula 1 coverage they say you need some slip for maximum traction, so maybe doing lots of practice starts during the warm-up isn’t a good idea (as I often bog down off the line).

    Cheers, although it was probably more down to luck than anything else. My tyres were really hurting at the end, I couldn’t even brake properly, and the only other time that has happened was race 2 at Catalunya (I would have thought Monza would be kinder on tyres).

    Ah shoot (pre-watershed language), I thought the screenie you posted might have been when I escaped to pits, but the replay I was sent didn’t show the incident although it appears that’s what has happened.

    You can just see M.Nguyen lagging back and breaking my suspension at the top of your video, then I should have parked it, or tried to drive round or even reverse back in Mansell style Very Happy

    My apologies, it was a chain reaction, but it does make me wonder why I lug everything downstairs to plug into my router (when these things seem to happen whatever connection you’re using).
