Chigley should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Isn't funny that the Minardi two-seater F1's and the single seater although not "racing" flat out were approaching the chicane at Turn 1 in excess of 200mph and were churning out clouds of brake dust when they hit the brakes and went down through 3 gears yet they managed to thread the eye of the needle without hitting the kerbs. Yet, F3 claim that the "eye" is too narrow and that at the "speed" they are approaching it is too difficult to take the corner clean so they are forced to take to the "tub breaking" kerbs. Cobblers, they need to slow down at bit more; and I agree that a tyre wall on both apex's would do the trick as it has at Post 10 (Oval to infield chicane).
