F1Time - S21 - Decent Start to the Season

Hello and here again I am with the news and details of the new Season. S21 started before the NewYear but this is my first post on the Season. Couple of project related matters delayed my active involvement and I am not sure how long I can be active again. But one thing's for sure; If i have a chance/choice.. i wont miss F1Time.

Four races are done when i write this. After a while, i have the same teammie for two continous seasons. The S21 was our planned season for Promotion. But at the end of S20, we realised that we arent fully prepared yet. Ofcourse, we can always fight for promotion, but we dont want others to see us as C1-visitors. So S21 was again chosen as a 'Team Building' season. Thats the reason why we went for Mid spec Totoya engines. Lots of Aodis and BMLs are there as usual. We also have the Mersedes Hodnas Renualts Bugatits Peugeots and even the WV and Yamahahas. Poor Mik.. He missed the deadline for signing the suppliers and he was forced to take Yamahaha. We were actually quite surprised to see that we are the only ones who signed Totoyas. And we have done quite well in the first 4 races. I got 2 podiums including a win. And Arunis secured points and was unfortunate to miss out on a podium when he dropped in the last but one lap. Nezam is currently leading our group. He is having a BML engine which would would be an advantage at the start of the season and he sure is not missing out on anything coming his way. Pedro Lanca too had some consisent shows. But the probable DC winner would be Carlos Gago. His Aodi has speed, his driver is experienced, his crew is very good and his economy is balanced. It wont be a big deal for him to return back to c1. Another manager to whom everyone is keeping an eye on is Vaidas Navickas. He is having a Mersedes and currently working on developing the engine. We can expect him to be very competitive by the mid-season.

C1 now has a refreshing change when we have different title fighters every season. The time when Arus, Kostya, Eld and Vlad ruled; they kept all the records for themselves and we just have to wait for the race order. This time its the Malaysian brothers who are setting the pace in c1. Especially the elder brother Yih. S19 champ and younger brother Sow is playing a supporting role. Yih has currently 26 points and is leading the c1 DC. He lost the game's first perfect Driver but he still managed to get a good replacement and that too not very expensive. In the recent times, this single market win would hold the key for the DC outcome. Eld for one knows this as he is without a Designer and feels left out in the title fight. Yih is followed by Sow and Vitor.
