2008-03-29Australia Melbourne, Australia 2008 Rothmans F1 R...WS Pro2008P3P1Comment: Finishing 2nd in my first race was much better than I had hoped for. Q1 went pretty well, managed to up my personal best by 0.3 seconds after a late minute setup tweak, Q2 I couldn't match my testing pace but was still happy with 3rd place. I had a good start, passed David and was side by side with Juhani going to turn 1, again in turn 3 and 4 but after that he pulled away gradually. After that I was battling with Alessandro for the remainder of the 1st stint, with our gap staying within 1.5-2 seconds, but no real overtaking opportunities being there. I don't know what happened in his pitstop but after that I was 7 seconds ahead of him. From that point on it was just about keeping it on the black stuff. I'd like to thank my teamboss Scott Beck for giving me a seat for this season, with Chris finishing 9th after his misfortunes, we are leading the Constructors :). Thank god Melbourne is over and done with, hopefully we can deliver a strong performance in Malaysia with a LOT less testing. In conclusion, I'd like to thank all the backmarkers who made it really easy for me, and also the race directors. It was a difficult night but well worth the wait.25View Official Result Download PDF File of Official Result

2008-04-19Bahrain Sakhir, Bahrain 2008 Rothmans F1 R...WS Pro2008P30P1Comment: Wow, where do I begin... Based on the Pre-season race here, and my testing this week I had very low expectations. In Q1 I was able to beat my personal best by 0.1 which is always nice, but Marco and Juhani were clearly faster than me so that confirmed my earlier "fears". Earlier in the day when I ran my last test I made the decision to go with 1 stop because the balance of the car was absolutely useless on 2 stop fuel load, I don't know what caused it, maybe it was even in my head... but the 1 stop felt so much better. I was very worried at the start, someone at the back was lagging and didn't get to their gridslot so the cars were standing still for 90 seconds (!!!), needless to say my engine temperatures were really high. I was even thinking of PM'ing the director to ask for restart, but just then the lights came up. I got a pretty good getaway, but I forgot my tyres would be stonecold after the long wait, so I went very deep in to turn 1, almost hitting Marco. I managed to get some good traction from the outside and accelerated past David and Alessandro going in to Turn 2 for P2. There were some lag spikes around lap 4-5, during one of these I unfortunately spun exiting Turn 10 and was almost hit by Alessandro because I had disappeared from his screen. After that the lag ended and I tried to get back in rhythm. This was a little difficult at times because David was making some mistakes and he kept dropping back ahead of me but not close enough to pass, so that cost me some time during the first 15 laps or so. When everyone pitted I knew I had a very good shot at victory, I kept pushing at the limit and managed to beat my personal best with this setup by 0.020 :). When I made my pitstop I came out right behind Kevin Brents, one lap later he made a mistake going on to the final turn and I managed to outbrake him going in to Turn 1. We had a nice battle going there with him catching up to me and me taking some risks in the braking zone to keep him behind. A few laps after that Marco and Kevin made their pitstops and the gap between myself and Marco was hovering around 5.5-6.0 seconds. Then I knew that the victory would be mine so I just started turning the engine down to boost 3 because I was worried that the engine would die after the overheating in the start. So... my first victory at a track where I thought I might get a 6th-7th if lucky, but I guess that's the way it always seems to go. I'd like to thank Sharon, Chris and all the other behind the scenes people who made this race possible. From what I understand of the situation it was a very big effort from these people to give us this whole weekend. Sorry for the long write-up :).25View Official Result Download PDF File of Official Result

2008-05-31Monaco Monte Carlo, Monaco 2008 Rothmans F1 R...WS Pro2008P13P1Comment: Wow, what an irritating race in the end. Could've really challenged for the win without the damage. My whole left side was damaged as was my rear wing. Suspension had it the worst since the steering was pulling me to the right since lap 3! Really difficult to stay focused and try to get some speed out of the car. Had some exciting moments with the backmarkers since quite a few of them were actually quicker than me at times. More often than not the guys I came up to lap spun right infront of me, but luckily they didn't try to rejoin too quickly, good job overall to them. Before my pitstop I had no idea how much time it would take to repair my car so I decided to choose not to repair anything during my stop. Unfortunately it is really hard to change pit options during the lap since there are no real straights, so I hastly tried to choose the setting and instead selected "Repair Body" which cost me 6 seconds extra and didn't fix anything. The steering was still pulling to the right just as much. After the stop I could see that there was no hope in catching Marco on my speed and I also saw that P3 was 40 seconds behind me, so I just decided to go at a comfortable pace to the end. Now that I've seen everyone's strategies and speed, I'm upset that I couldn't go at my normal pace. But having said that, this second place feels like a victory because of how difficult the car was to drive. The End.25View Official Result Download PDF File of Official Result
2008-06-14Canada Montreal, Canada 2008 Twister-Racin...WS Pro2008P6P1Comment: I managed to figure out a very good setup that would fit me like a glove right off the bat. The only thing that took some time during testing was reliability and then learning all the ins and outs of the track. Q1 was going at average pace until my last lap, managed to set another PB in Q1 which always feels great. Unfortunately there was a pretty long delay between Q1 and Q2, but I managed to keep my motivation up and I still had a good touch for the track when we got underway. Managed a really good lap on my 2nd run with a lot of fuel, went for a 3rd run just as I planned but only managed to improve by 0.1 because I lost time in the final sector. Should've been 3rd on the grid but had to settle for 5th (after Ferry's penalty). Had a pretty bad start compared to my others so far this season, a lot of wheelspin and got passed by Faisal and Dave in to T1. Had a nice fight with Dave for the remainder of the lap and got passed him under braking for the hairpin. Then managed to get really close to Faisal for the final chicane and passed him going to T1 on lap2. After that I saw that Mark had passed Faisal and Dave and I knew that he would catch me very soon aswell. I think Mark was a little too aggressive because twice I had to dodge him while braking for the hairpin, I could hear him overshooting the brakingzone and had to take an evasive and compromise my entryline a little. We had a couple of touches during the couple of laps we raced, first one damaged my rear wing and second one I lost focus and ran wide in the final chicane after which I let him pass me to save time. After that I was basicly all alone for the rest of the race. I had a good feeling that I was very well fueled compared to my opponents and eventually that was confirmed when I found myself in the lead of the race on lap 20 I think. After making my pitstop I tried to keep a good pace going but for some reason couldn't get in to a good rhythm. Laptimes were all over the place even with much lower fuel than on my 1st stint. Honestly I think this was a much worse drive overall compared to how I drove in Turkey where I finished 3rd. If I could've driven normally I think I would've won this race by 15-20 seconds even. In the end I feel I won because of a brilliant strategy and a great setup on my debut for Twister Racing Pro. Thanks again to Dennis Hirrle for accepting me in to the team. I joined the team very late in the week and couldn't get the benefit of comparing setups/ideas, so hopefully for France I can be even more competitive once I am more integrated in the team.25View Official Result Download PDF File of Official Result
2008-06-28France Magny Cours, France 2008 Twister-Racin...WS Pro2008P2P1Comment: Based on our teams test sessions I believed that I would be quick here, and it turns out I was. Had great touch the night before and the morning of the race, but lost it a little before qualifying. Managed a 13.0 which was not very close to my PB but still happy since it was good enough for P1. Q2 went reasonably well and I started the race with 58L of fuel from pole. My one big concern was to get a good enough start to remain 1st in to T1 and T2 and it was pretty good for my standards. Juhani was close for the first couple of laps but then I managed to increase the pace and slowly but surely start to gain a lead. Before the 1st pitstops I was about 3-4 seconds ahead of him but after them I was 9 seconds ahead of him, I wonder if he had damage or came out in some traffic. After rejoining in 1st place I knew that the win was pretty much in the bag, but I still continued to push because I wanted to have a nice gap incase I made a mistake or tripped over with a backmarker. By the way everyone I lapped did their job amazingly, pulled over to let me through and didn't join right on my tail. Really nice professional driving there. Huge thanks to the team, this was my proper debut for Twister-Racing since in Canada I joined very late in the week. I hope to continue this success at Silverstone.25View Official Result Download PDF File of Official Result
2008-07-19Great Britain Silverstone, Great Britain 2008 Twister-Racin...WS Pro2008P1P1Comment: Q1 was great, new PB even though I didn't think that I would be the strongest in Q1 form. Q2 was even better, I initially wanted to do 3 runs but I got such a good lap on my 2nd run that I decided to save two more laps of fuel for the race. I thought I had a pretty good start for my standards, but suddenly I noticed that everyone was coming up at me in my mirrors. I saw Pierre come flying so I moved over and let him pass me hoping that he would get the lead, which he did after the 1st corner. I almost fell back to 5th but after some close calls I was 3rd heading in to Becketts. I didn't feel too confident in the opening laps, had the most fuel and Dimitri was very close to me. After 10 laps or so I managed to stay on the pace of Pierre and Karim and started to pull away from Dimitri. Karim pitted on lap 21 I think and Pierre on 23. I was about 3.5 seconds behind Pierre when he pitted so I knew I had to make the most of the laps I had remaining. I managed to do a 20.9, 20.8 and 20.8 and then a good in-lap on lap 26. I came out 5 seconds ahead of Dimitri which surprised me, later I heard that Pierre had spun after his pitstop. Without that spin I'm sure it would've been really close between us at the pitexit. After that I just tried to do my pace while keeping it on the road. I pushed as hard as I felt comfortable and in the end managed to set a nice fastest lap (my first). After the race I found out that Juhani had computer problems, I hope he can fix them soon and that we can have some good battles again. In the end it was definitely not an easy win. I need to figure out how to make better starts so that this doesn't happen every race. 1-2-3 for Twister with Phillip getting a point aswell, nice.25View Official Result Download PDF File of Official Result

2009-04-05Australia Melbourne, Australia Twister-Racin...WS Ace2009P2P1Comment: Well this was definitely unexpected. After seeing the times people were doing in testing I didn't have high expectations for this race. Also my pre-race preparation was significantly less than what I would've preferred. When I realised that I could keep up with Nebojsa without pushing like crazy I started to believe in the victory. I had decided on my strategy about 5 minutes before the start of free practice, so luckily in my 2nd stint I had one lap more than Nebojsa which got me the lead combined with my very quick 2nd pitstop. It wasn't all easy though: On lap 35 I understeered in to the green wall on the outside of T9/10 and damaged my rear wing and right rear suspension. The car was steering to the left quite significantly after that so it took me some laps to get used to it. I decided against repairing it in the pits because I was afraid I would drop down to 3rd or even further. Near the end of the race my right thumb was getting tired because I couldn't rest it at all on the straights because of the broken suspension. It was shaking uncontrollably a couple of times but luckily I managed to stay concentrated enough to win. I was a bit worried about the engine and brake wear since I had spent such a long time in the slipstream of Nebojsa, so I took it very easy for the last 10 laps after pulling a 3 second gap. This feels too good to be true, I don't know what will happen in the coming races but this one race has already passed 90% of the goals I set for myself for this season. With Roy winning WC this was a great opening weekend for the team, let's see where it takes us...25View Official Result Download PDF File of Official Result
