[40th Lap]
[Tires are in bad condition, host. Engine temperature is optimal. Brake wear at 60%.]
[Heat Management +2]
[Telemetry reports rigid handling. Aerodynamic efficiency indicates slight performance drop. Recommend an immediate pit stop to optimize tires and fuel strategy.]
"I know. We're deciding when," Luca replied positively. "And thanks for the Engine Feature EXP."
40 laps. 40 whole laps on Circuit de l'Étoile with its expanded track, and Luca had yet to visit the pits.
He couldn't believe how long the tires had lasted on the 92B, especially with the insignificant (+1) addition to his Tire Management attribute earlier in the race.
Luca doubted it would have been possible with the F2 04, especially considering how tough the driving had been so far.
This made him wonder how many pit stops Ansel had taken for his F2 04 to remedy Haas' DNF.
**Tires are falling off. Grip levels are low. We recommend boxing next lap**
