Here I am at practice 1. Well not really. The test driver, Sam Copperfield, was at the wheel doing a few tests for the team. Surprisingly, he was actually doing pretty well. Fourteenth place in the standings, getting good research and development information back, we were actually going somewhere!
It didn't last however, halfway through the session a gearbox failure prevented us from finishing the practice. We probably could have continued but some shoddy workmanship (again) by the mechanics meant we couldn't continue. Overall a great session. Usually we don't even complete a lap let alone come fourteenth in the standings. The next two sessions will be my chance to shine. Hopefully.
