Take care with the extra bite they will give you. I put new pads in at Spa last week just before my race as the ones that were in were almost down to the rivets and very ineffective. As a result I locked up going into La Source on lap 1 and. slid into poor Michael Steele coming from the left on the correct line, put dents in his door and wing and delayed him for 30 seconds or so. My wing pushed right back on to the wheel and could go no further than pitlane. 30 minute race lasted all of 12 seconds.
I knew I was getting too old for this lark.
