Season 03Race Notes

"A ring to rule (almost) them all" - that represented Daytona for Williams Grand Prix this weekend.

Shaka (1st driver): First of all, congratulations Dave on two dominant wins at the ring. He's now second in the standings, proving our team took the right decision on hiring him, earning maximum 31 points on his first outing for us. I must say I'm truly sorry for the incident with tib on Sprint race. We are rivals since FD01 but we always respected each other both on and off the track and that accident was not caused intentionally, I misjudged the lenght of my car's hood and tapped him into a spin. I heard he barrel rolled into another dimension, but he's safe no matter where he is now. I'm very sorry, pal. And big sorry for the team, I did what I could considering the Jeff penalty I was carrying for this round and will keep carrying for the next one at Spa, where I hope it does not play such significant role as it played here.

Dave (2nd driver): Thanks for the Fittipaldis and the Andrettis, both dinasties who taught me how to play in oval tracks. Daytona was, imho, the greatest moment of this season. Me, Tib and Shaka were "horse racing" by the entire Feature race. Fortunally I won by "a nose", and 0:068 ahead of Tib. I wanted to win, and I won... in my first race under williams flag. Thanks engineers for the flawless setup. Personally I liked the 5 car battle. Finally Pippo is back, and hopefully Mansell will race with us. Welcome back, Pippo (I envy that MC12!) and wlecome for Wacky Racing F-Duude, Boss Mansell!

Patrick Head (Manager): Seeing those charts I assume that our setup was correct, but Dave lost in his acceleration. If Shaka hadn't that 100kg ballast, he could score the fastest lap, and winning, and grabbing all the available points. Our strategy on pitting at the first lap wasn't so unique after all, as Libra was doing the same. We had a great race, and a great surprise having our newcomer driver scoring this one. We also wants to apologize Tib for the sprint race incident.

Frank Williams (Owner and Founder of Xavier Racing Institute): Good. Now that we are one tiny point behind Scuderia Libra, at WCC, we can dispose off ZERO CAR. His mission was accomplished and we don't need him anymore. Perhaps I should him stay one more race before kicking him out. I'll think about later.
