Hello all, new member here.
About DC performance at Melbourne:
From
F1Live.com
'At the start, I managed to find my way through the debris to take the lead,” David explained. “However my car developed a gear box down selection problem and when the safety car pulled in it put itself into neutral which caught me out and I went off the track. I managed to rejoin but the problem continued and eventually the car jammed in sixth gear and that was the end of my race. Obviously I'm disappointed as we would have been in with a good chance today but that is racing and we must now look forward to Malaysia'
'Another race of mixed emotions,” sighed Ron Dennis. “David's gearbox problem ultimately took him out of the race which is very frustrating as we had completed 7500 KM of on-track testing. However we must take some comfort from Kimi's excellent drive, fastest lap and third place.'
So I ask to those who fault DC, what could a better driver have done, dealing with a gearbox that randomly put itself in neutral under braking and then finally got stuck in 6th ?
