Motorsport Forum Journalist = MFJ
Steveaki13 = SA13

Today a Motorsport Forum Journalist caught up with Aki's Hedgehog Racing Teams Boss, Steveaki13

MFJ: So a fine 9th place in Spa. Is this season beating expectations?

SA13: Absolutely. After finishing in the bottom 4 last season, it was key to develop a decent package. I think our lead sponsor have helped a lot as they allowed us to join our sister teams.

MFJ: Has your collaboration been a key aspect?

SA13: I would say so. The shared high tech tabletop fan has got us a much better chassis.

MFJ: Ricciardo seemed a good buy early in the season, but can you believe he has had 3 wins.

SA13: No, he has been a revelation. I am so glad we put this guy in the car. Some others didn't and I bet they are kicking themselves now.

MFJ: With Mercedes Chassis you are scoring tons of points with these two elements. What about your Mclaren Mercedes Engine though?

SA13: Its not been great, but it is scoring regular points which we could only dream of in 2013.

MFJ: What about your decision to bring Maldonado in for Bottas

SA13: Oh shut it man, your making me feel a complete egit. He has been terrible and we have already parted company for 2015. We have been talking to other drivers already, but can't say much now.

MFJ: So you are a decent 13th overall out of 33. What are your aims for the end of the season?

SA13: I think we are happy to finish here, but you always want more. I believe if Daniel wins more races and Mercedes keeping winning races and getting podiums. Plus Mclaren getting a slightly larger points haul and maybe even Pastor to get a points finish somewhere, then maybe a top 10 finish could be on.

MFJ: What about your rivals/associates?

SA13: Well Happy Bubble Racing is still ahead of us and having a great season, 4th is a fine turn around from last season. Ford Focus Team were neck and neck with us until a few races ago, but we have done great and moved to 13th and left Ford Focus in 16th. I think we are aiming at a top 10 and maybe Ford Focus could join us their if they have a decent end to the season.
Finally Sinclair Single have taken our spot from last year in the bottom 5 which is a real shame.

MFJ: Finally how good does it feel to be in the midfield this season?

SA13: Its great. We haven't forgotten our old foes at the back like Oxyclean POSF1 sponsored by Lionel, but in truth its great to beat scoring top 10s and points. We have to keep it going into 2015.

Where is rjbetty these days anyway.

He must be busy at work I guess. He was always posting interesting stats, equations and good old banter

[aryan]

Damn, I have lost my first place!

[N. Jones]

Scoring 136 points on the bonus will do that.....

but it's still close.

[jens]

Happy Bubble Racing team thinks that "based on realistic calculations" we are likely to finish somewhere around 5th to 7th position by the end of the season. Whether it is going to be 5th, 6th, or 7th, is still unclear.

[N. Jones]

The results will be up today.... where POSF1 launches itself into a new era.
