This threads a bit ridiculous, how everybody becomes an expert race analysist everytime someone messes up. It happens. Pretty frequently too if you've ever spent time within a racing season either as part of a team or participating in races yourself.

You simply cannot take the perfect line every single time, you just can't. Especially when you're around halfway through and your tyres go off and are seriously the worse things you'll ever drive on, no matter how good they're supposed to be.

Its clear that Norris isn't the worlds greatest driver, but then again he hasn't been at it that long iirc. I know he's been building monster evos forever but the driving part, especially circuit is relatively new isn't it? So yeah there's a lot of things he could of done differently when you've got the luxury of hindsight but its a completely different story when you're sat in the car at the time. You can't say what he was doing was wrong because you can't feel what that car's doing through your arse like he could.

As for the car understeering then oversteering i'd say that's something that needs dialling out with set up and is probably due to the tyres as i said plus the massive amount of power, so this needs taking into account. As for when he went off, he could of dealt with it better, he should have being shadowing his brakes well before the corner so he could feel how much braking he had, and consequently adjust accordingly.

But, like i say, it's easy to say all this with hindsight and he just needs a bit more experience. The orange evo was unlucky, but it happens, i'm sure he'll be over it by now.

Perfectly put. This thread should probably end on this post.
