Had a tap when checking up into 3 that wouldn't have done anything last time I was on but it pushed onto the apron. It wouldn't normally be an issue but it lead to the larger check-up that caught Carsten out. No fault or blame around the incident, 100% a racing deal and just a comment on what you guys are saying.

I was pushing Lachlan and for some reason we had to move high. I followed him, so I wouldn't be offset while pushing him, but ran into you. Kinda frustrated why we had to move so far up the track, but the contact you and I had is probably on me....
Apologies about that, I didn't mean to move quite so much, I was adjusting fuel for the next stop so was looking down at my black box. I thought I left enough space, but these cars weren't pushing well and I put you in a difficult spot by not holding a straight wheel

Now that the penalties are out I would like to apologise to Carsten Theile.
I was trying to build energy for our line to get momentum down the back stretch.
I felt the incident itself as far as where to apportion blame was touch and go but being the car trying to build momentum I will take this penalty on the chin and in future be more decisive on who I chose to give aggressive pushes to in tight spaces where one needs to be able to control their speed effectively and quickly for the good of the lane.
See you all Wednesday.

Well, you killed 2 drivers and one gets an apology and the other one not? But why? 🤔

PetrSmetana Making mistakes is human, I apologized immediately in private, last season I don't think I made risky moves, unlike others in different leagues, I find receiving insults in public chat inappropriate. I hope the admins take action.

Everything is fine. I also made a mistake in the Cup. I sometimes write on the forum in a form of irony and it was not personal.
