Wow, Mikkelsen got away with high speed off. Very lucky
Which reminds me, Paul Nagle is doing a good job for Mikkelsen, new team, new note system, 2nd event with him and difficult conditions.
Looks like lying water is getting worse, aquaplaning / shiny asphalt time...........
I was always wondering about any reason why FIA made hand cutting of tyres forbidden in 2008. Especially with the universal dry/wet pattern. It's just stupid and dangerous in my opinion.Quote:

Everybody has full mouth of safety but this rule which is now new also for regional championships is going against safety.Quote:
