F1rret: Difference between revisions

A bounce back after attending off-season races saw F1rret qualify for the [[Aurora:2024 Rostov Grand Prix]] in sixth with a finishing position of fifth after holding back [[Ferrari]] driver [[FatihAr]], classifying the Patagón in the top 10 in the standings for the first time. A very laggy [[Aurora:2024 Crimean Grand Prix|Crimean Grand Prix]] gave F1rret a great opportunity to score big points after a great start from sixth. Through lag control, F1rret finished the race on the bottom step of the podium to score a first podium finish infront of idol [[Eternal Wind]] and moving him up a position against his teammate [[EmpressCorgo]] who suffered greatly from the lag. This pace continued into the [[Aurora:2024 Indochina Grand Prix|Indochina Grand Prix]] at Temasek with a maiden pole position ahead of [[32Jeelow]] and teammate Corgo. A red flag disrupted race saw the Patagón consistently lead the race however his choice to not pit until the end of the grand prix dropped him behind most of the front-runners who had pitted before the red flag with F1rret finishing the race in a disappointing fifth however his efforts were enough to promote him to second in the World Drivers Championship. Successive poor races at [[Aurora:2024 Maracaibo Grand Prix|Maracaibo]] and [[Aurora:2024 Medan Grand Prix|Medan]] saw F1rret finish just eighth and seventh respectively with the BMW driver failing to qualify at Medan after a mistake and having to backstart at the Grand Prix. The [[Aurora:2024 Detroit Grand Prix|Detroit Grand Prix]] saw a return to the podium after a laggy fight with [[Ameberyl|Lakeberries]] for second saw the two finish in the same boat with [[PieTheHead]] replacing [[EmpressCorgo]] at BMW for the remainder of the season following her retirement from the sport. Second position slipped away again just two race later after a penultimate lap incident at the [[Aurora:2024 Edesse Grand Prix|Edesse Grand Prix]] dropped F1rret from second to fourth behind [[32Jeelow]] and [[Bubuxcx]] with an overtake at turn 2 bringing a third podium for the BMW driver. After missing the next two rounds, F1rret could only finish in seventh in [[Aurora:2024 Madagascan Grand Prix|Madagascar]] followed by a tenth position finish in [[Aurora:2024 Korean Grand Prix|Korea]]. Another return to form in [[Aurora:2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix|Abu Dhabi]] with a fourth place finish and a podium in a laggy and controversial [[Aurora:2024 Menia Grand Prix|Menian Grand Prix]] in which a possible win was lost due to backmarkers. F1rret missed the next race before competing at the [[Aurora:2024 Patagonian Grand Prix|Patagonian Grand Prix]] which saw a successive Patagonian Grand Prix retirement due to lag. The season ultimately ended F1rret in fourth in the World Drivers Championship ahead of FatihAr with BMW finishing the season comfortably in third.
