Portugal GP - Estoril (Sunday, january 6th, 2013) – Race Report, by Sexy Brigadeiro & pictures by Arek
For ALL the pointers and Championship standings, just take a look below!!!
My race was shitty. Most guys had a good and fun race. And I don't have much to say other than CONGRATULATIONS JOE, both for the VICTORY and also for the current lead, both at the Drivers' Championship Table and also for our team at the Constructors' Championship Table - at least I contributed with 10 little points - yay!
Anyway... we have the slide show, the pics and the captions to 'tell' how the race was, so...'Checkered flag is out and so am I!'
Arek's Slideshow: (Don't be a juvenil! Watch it in HD (720p) and full screen, pliss!)
PORTUGAL FULL RESULTSEstoril Pics:
PRE-RACE
Arek: What a good beautiful day at Estoril today, a perfect one for the race... bla bla bla...
Sexy: Yes, according to the weather guys, no chance for rain - as in 85...
PRE-RACE
Arek: Grisu on pole position
Sexy: Oh, those damn 12 year-old girls are screaming for Biebs again - GRRRR!!!...
PRE-RACE
Arek: A friendly cameraman starts his tough job
Sexy: Someone has to do the dirty work...
LAP 1
Arek: Start! Otti takes the lead!
Sexy: When Dildo Boy don't jump start, he usually get pretty good starts!
LAP 1
Arek: Otti takes the first corner in the 1st place!
Sexy: He would've won if it was a 1 corner race!
LAP 1
Arek: Adrian make a huge start passing several cars incuding Tom and Arek fighting each other in T1.
Sexy: White men can't dunk (refference to a 'famous' basketball movie from the early 90's with Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes...), but... kangaroos can jump!
LAP 1
Arek: Where the troubles come Sexy must be there
Sexy: I'm a magnet for race incidents - yay.
LAP 1
Arek: Cueball and Arnoldinhu are having problems...
Sexy: At least it wasn't just me...
LAP 1
Arek: Grisu (3rd) locks his tyres and goes wide losing 11 places!
Sexy: And the dumb Biebs funs were screaming anyway as if it wa a great move by him... well, actually it was... for those 11 other drivers who overtook him - HA!
LAP 1
Arek: ADI (12th) spins and jumps down to the very end.
Sexy: We saw a lot of that in this race...
LAP 1
Arek: lau overtakes Joe on the main straight taking the 3rd place and as it turns out it was worth one place more...
Sexy: Joe was doing the best he could, but in the end it paid off, so that's what really matters!
LAP 2
Arek: ...because of connection issue of Denis who had to retire
Sexy: Jah, but no one will fuck his internet as he 'requested'...
LAP 2
Arek: Jure (13th) misses his braking point, touches Tony's car and spins.
Sexy: one of the most annoying ways to spin - I HATE when that happens to me...
LAP 3
Arek: Arek (5th) tries to overtake Adrian but goes wide one turn later losing 4 places...
Sexy: What to expect from you, Juvenil?!
LAP 3
Arek: soutie has an impresive begining of the race, starting as 10th finds out in the 7th place. Here he atempts to pass Luft in fight for the 6th place. He does it a while later on the main straight.
Sexy: Actually he started as 19th, I guess...
LAP 4
Arek: Top 3: Otti, lau and Joe McLaggen.
Sexy: Nice matchup!
LAP 5
Arek: Arek overtakes Sven and takes the 8th place.
Sexy: There's only 1 person who is a bigger juvenil than you, Arek (and it's not me)...
LAP 5
Arek: A moment later another fight between those teams. This time Cueball take his advantage after Blackfox's mistake and jumps up to 9th place behind his teammate.
Sexy: Cue actually had a pretty good and consistent race!
LAP 5
Arek: Adrian (4th) had a very good begining but is getting slower and gets a tail from Tom Mckay and soutie.
Sexy: It seems that kangaroos get tired after jumping too much...
LAP 6
Arek: Hard battle between soutie and Tom. soutie passes Tom on the long straight but he doesn't remain indebt to him saving his 5th place.
Sexy: Another good (and always a little tense) battle!
LAP 7
Arek: Another atemtpt and finally soutie gets it.
Sexy: Good job from both drivers!
LAP 7
Arek: But few seconds later hits Adrian into his back and crashes. It's not possible to recover quickly due to other cars coming up from behind so he drops down to the 13th place!
Sexy: Seems his recovery race hit the 'restart' button...
LAP 9
Arek: Otti makes a mistake and lau steals the 1st place!
Sexy: Yes, lau is a criminal, since he works for the mafia, right?!
LAP 9
Arek: Crazy draft under the pit wall. Adrian (4th), Luft_inspektor, Arek and Cueball. Tough life of that friendly cameraman... Luft overtakes Tom taking the 5th place right behind Adrian.
Sexy: I think the camera man is dead. He hasn't moved since the start of the race...
LAP 9
Arek: "You will never walk alone" says the sign over the screen on Cueball's helmet. Seems like it's right Cueball overtakes Tom and takes his 6th place.
Sexy: Cue is a prophet... Maybe he should write "Sexy Will Win ALL The Races Until The End Of Times" on his helmet for the next season...
LAP 9
Arek: One corner later side by side battle between Arek and Sven who make pass by the outside.
Sexy: I may reconsider what I said about someone being more juvenil than you...
LAP 10
Arek: Arek revenges on the main straight. Sven makes mistake getting a slide and Grisu takes the 9th place.
Sexy: Ok, forget what I've just said right above...
LAP 11
Arek: Leaders: lau and Otti in the pits. Meanwhile we got interesting battle accross the pit wall between Cueball Tom and Arek followed by Grisu.
Sexy: Lots of action on the track and on the pits - Bernie is happy with the TV audience ratings!...
LAP 11
Arek: Tom and Cueball are battling very hard in T1. Arek takes his chance passing them both by the inside!
Sexy: Nah, it was just luck!...
LAP 11
Arek: But makes a mistake and isn't able to stay on the track, losing place for Tom who goes to the pit on the next lap. Grisu takes his chance and overtakes Cueball.
Sexy: ...as I was saying...
LAP 13
Arek: Joe McLaggen (1st) in the pits. He rejoins behind lau and Otti.
Sexy: The team worked well, as always! Joe kept doing his part on track! Arriba, Muchacho!!!
LAP 13
Arek: Cueball has a long pit stop and loses his good place in the top 10.
Sexy: That was not a pit stop. That was Cueball performing his newest magic trick: F1 car levitation!
LAP 14
Arek: lau overtakes Grisu who took the lead because of his 1 stop strategy (hasn't pited yet).
Sexy: Careful with his fans, lau... they can kill you and all of the mafia in the blink of an eye!
LAP 14
Arek: After his pit stop Arek found out behind Sven so he had to overtake him once again
Sexy: Was it THAT hard?...
LAP 15
Arek: lau overtakes Adrian and takes the 1st place. A while later Adrian gets in the pits.
Sexy: I thought you've just said lau got the lead when he overtook Girus... Now I'm confused! Bad, bad, reporter!
LAP 15
Arek: Joe passes soutie in battle for the 5th place.
Sexy: Don't mess with El Muchacho Suaaaaaaaave!!!
LAP 16
Arek: Otti overtakes Grisu who was having very worn tyres and takes the 2nd place.
Sexy: Biebs tyres were zombies - meaning they were dead since a long time ago already!..
LAP 16
Arek: After the pit stop Adrian found out behind Sven. He managed to pass him but later he made a mistake...
Sexy: Oh, come on, Kangaroo Kid!... Don't embarrass yourself like that!...
LAP 17
Arek: Arek (8th) spins.
Sexy: See?! Now THIS is a professional way to embarrass yourself - whatch and learn, kid(s)!!!
LAP 18
Arek: Nice move by Joe and Grisu is overtaken once again.
Sexy: It's like stealing candy from a kid... literally...
LAP 18
Arek: ADI vs Sven. Battle for the 8th place.
Sexy: ADI is getting better in each GP, now that he is re-adapting to use a wheel...
LAP 19
Arek: Adrian has some troubles again and spins two times in a row... He loses chances for a good result. Grisu and soutie rejoins the track afetr their pit stops.
Sexy: Well, as Adrian said himself after the race... he should've practiced a little bit more to it...
LAP 22
Arek: Joe overtakes Otti in the battle for P1! Meanwhile lau rejoins the track after his pit stops in the 3rd place.
Sexy: Once again Joe was doing a pretty good job, but lau has fresh new tyres now and is coming back to the fight...
LAP 23
Arek: Otti has a small "adventure" after rejoining the track. Lapped Tony wanted to race!
Sexy: Tony wa also out of luck in this race. In the practice sessions, his PB was actually better than mine - keep it up, mate!
LAP 24
Arek: Luft_inspektor (3rd) goes to the pits. Then gets back on the track behind his biggest oponent during this race Tom. He was faster but couldn't get him before the finish line.
Sexy: Always good battles between these former teammates!
LAP 24
Arek: ADI afetr a very bad begining found himself in a very high 4th place due to very good pace he had! But here Otti overtakes him having fresh tyres.
Sexy: Nice pic! The cars look pretty real in this one - and oce again, note that both teams actually have the same 3D model...
LAP 25
Arek: After his pit stop he dumped down and had a little fight with his former teammate Sexy Brigadeiro.
Sexy: I wouldn't call that a 'fight'... first because it was as friendly as it could be. And I knew he was faster, so there was nothing I could do. I gave him as room as I could to let him pass and I even made a mistake and went off track by going out of my ideal race line... I know, I know... 'good job!', right?...
LAP 30
Arek: lau the leader in the pits (drops down to 5th)
Sexy: I like how nothing interesting happened in the last 5 laps...
LAP 30
Arek: Hard battle between soutie and Grisu. soutie was trying to pass through several laps trying to get an advantage from his fresher tyres but finally comes to the contact and Grisu loses his 3rd place.
Sexy: Some homework to the Stewards...
LAP 31
Arek: Arek overtakes Blackfox taking the 9th place. Unfortunately to Ferrari team Black wasn't able to keep his scoring position and loses it for Cueball.
Sexy: Don't try to hide the sad fact that there were some team orders involved... Someone said they listened something on Black's team radio like 'Juvenil is faster than you. Can you confirm this message?'...
LAP 34
Arek: Double duel. Joe McLaggen overtakes Otti and takes the lead! In the background lau fight vs soutie.
Sexy: I lost the counting of how many times 'Joe got the lead' in this race...
LAP 34
Arek: And here is how it ends up. It comes to the contact too but lau makes a mistake and goes wide. soutie keeps his 3rd place.
Sexy: Million dollar question: Race incident, or personal mistake?!...
LAP 36 - LAST LAP!
Arek: Otti lost three places half lap to go being overtaken by soutie, lau and Grisu!
Sexy: Well, at least these are a few less things on Dildo Boy's ass...
LAP 36 - LAST LAP!
Arek: Joe McLaggen wins the Portugal GP!!!
Sexy: 'And he looks super on camera!' (says the cameraman...) - GREAT JOB, JOE!!!
LAP 36 - LAST LAP!
Arek: soutie is 2nd!
Sexy: From penultimate to 2nd... jah... not bad...
LAP 36 - LAST LAP!
Arek: Otti finishes as 3rd!
Sexy: I guess you've been drinking water from the toilet again, Arek... LAU was actually the 3rd place... (Otti was 5th) - SEU JUVENIIIIIIIL!!!
LAP 36 - LAST LAP!
Arek: No, wait!... lau actually finishes as 3rd!
Sexy: NOW you're right!
