well done to connoh1996 for winning the first race of the season

Yeah well done Con - deserves it on raw pace. From my race point of view, actually quite pleased with 2nd despite a net lead from the first corner until about 4 laps to the end. Didn't have the pace of a number of cars behind but made the most of track position after a good start, making my big ass hard to pass in the opening laps then lapping consistently throughout capitalising from small errors from those behind to keep ahead. Had same issue as last season with tyres going off very fast - very quickly realised I'd have to switch my final stop from options to primes and bring all of the others forward. Any tips on tyre saving would be much appreciated! Have brought my stiffness, roll bars and camber down from last season but no real difference - driving style? Fancied my chances of making my big ass hard to pass again in the final few laps but ballsed up the exit of the final corner so was a sitting duck on the straight. Onwards to Malasia!

Lol love ur report, mostly the tyres depends on driving style indeed, it's just wether u go and burn ur tyres outta corners with wheelspin etcetera and u sliding trough corners. Maybe try some different approach to low traction corners. And if ur still struggling or want some help with setups feel free to ask.

I know I haven't done a proper race yet, but I've found it really difficult to adapt to F1 2013, mostly due to the ridiculous tyre wear I'm getting, but I've also lost a lot of outright pace. Maybe I should be in a McLaren...

Try decreasing the anti roll bars and camber angles,it usually gives u an extra lap or 2 and front tyre wear is going to be a big factor in Malaysia
