AD also took himself out in traffic last night, to his credit by his own admission, and nearly made Peugeot have to re-build an entire car. At least he admitted that he made a mistake, and rookies make a few.
I'd have to say that on paper that Peugeot has a slight advantage, because if you have a straightline speed advantage, a more agile car can equal the lap time, but it's definently an advantage to defend your position. IE, unless it's like '08, and the Audis mount a late race banzi run on soft tires after a full course yellow or can work some magic in traffic, I'll be a hard race for both Audi and Peugeot, but the Pugs got the straightaway speed, and what would you rather have--agility or brute speed?
