{ Fernando Horta } → Formula Duude

Williams FD tried hard, but the results didn't come.

Shaka: First and most important, congratulations tib on winning his first FormulaDuude World Championship. It's a great achievement and he now joins me on the top of the world by winning the most important tournament in all worlds. It was a season where we both fought hard and fair all the time, and this time the end was not the happiest for me.

Talking about the race itself, it was predictable: I had only one qualifying lap and missed the pole by a tiny margin. On race I took the lead on the way to turn 1 and had a traction control issue on the first lap, losing some positions before serving my DT penalty. From then on it was catch up, but the car wasn't working well and I hit the barrier pretty hard puncturing the right front. Came in for a change only to leave the pits and learn there was bad damage to suspension and aero parts requiring another stop. Nearly 2 laps down I tried hard to set the fastest lap and right after achieving that, I had another tangle with the walls and this time the right rear wheel was gone. On the way to pits I missed a chicane and was awarded a stop/go penalty. Well, a race to forget.

Now the season is over I can speak more freely: I'm not happy with the second half of the season, particularly with the FW-15E Eagle Williams provided. Not saying the car is a piece of junk like my past teams, but I never got to grips with it and the team, despite their best efforts, didn't listen to me and only tried to fix the problems instead of replacing the chassis entirely. I'm glad they improved the steering wheel toward the end of the championship, but by then it was too late and FW-15E was not really suited for any of the last 3 tracks we raced on. I believe there was a double agent deliberately slowing us down, since Libra's machinery was too similar to ours and it worked fine for them...

Patrick: I wish to congratulate all personnel on Libra for winning their third Constructors' Championship, and also winning their first Drivers' as well. Our car wasn't up to Shaka's standards, he drove brilliantly over the season and I'm sorry we couldn't make him win 3 out of 3 FD championships.

Frank: No words can express how saddened are the faces at Grove. We had everything we could to achieve our goals, we hired a promising young gun to help Shaka... and everything fell apart. I don't know where that young boy is, but I'll have some words with him as he disappointed us. A lot. Congratulations tib, Libra. We'll be back.
