Jack Christopherson's F1 career (1991-2004, 2010-????)

FullMetalJack · Post by **FullMetalJack** » 03 Jun 2010, 18:31

I'll be the latest to jump on the bandwagon. I'll be starting at 1991 and driving for Dallara in place of JJ Lehto. I will post the results of the US Grand Prix as soon as I can but I have not raced yet. There isn't a 1992 or 1993 mod yet for Grand Prix 4 so I will be using the rFactor 1993 mod, and possibly 1992 if there's an rFactor mod by then. My alter ego will be Jack Christopherson (not my real name). Qualifying results will be posted of my time and drivers around me and my teammate.

1991 UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX - Phoenix Street Circuit

Qualifying

I found an excellent setup at Phoenix and my driving style tends to favour street circuits and 90 degree bends and somehow landed my Judd powered Dallara to 3rd on the grid just behind the 2 Williams cars. My teammate wasn't faring too badly here either as he was 12th on the grid. I'm just hoping the race goes well too as my starts in the 1991 cars tend to be really bad. Race results will be posted soon.

1. Nigel Mansell 1.37.757
2. Riccardo Patrese 1.38.307
3. Jack Christopherson 1.38.486
4. Jean Alesi 1.39.026
5. Nelson Piquet 1.39.216

12. Emmanuele Pirro 1.40.609

RACE REPORT

I made a very bad start and dropped to 7th behind Alesi, Piquet, Modena and Senna. Senna took some front wing damage and my teammate retired on lap 1 after a collision with Morbidelli. After about 20 laps, I lost out to Berger for 6th and was in a long battle for 5th with Modena, Berger and Prost. On Lap 37, I was in 7th and Prost knocked off my rear wing so I had to pit for repairs. I rejoined in 16th position and was dueling with Martin Brundle and also Ayrton Senna at one point. Senna managed to get past Mark Blundell who I struggled to pass straight away. In the end, I completed the whole 81 laps and got the better of my more experienced teammate throughout the weekend by coming home in 11th out of 15 runners. In the end, Jean Alesi won on his debut for Ferrari with Riccardo Patrese and Nelson Piquet completing the podium. Would this young talent achieve in Formula 1, or would he end up as a reject. Only time will tell. Next stop, Interlagos.

REJECT OF THE RACE: Alain Prost - For an amateurish move on Christopherson.

Thank god Christopherson is not your real name!! :lol:

Good luck with this. What a pity Gp4 doesn´t take more team entries to make it more realistic.

Good luck with your career as well Mr.Dagnall. I've decided to do a Reject of the Race as well. Maybe you should include that idea.

It's unlikely that I will be able to any races anytime in the next couple of weeks as my joystick is broken and I don't want to resort to using the keys as the cars understeer horribly, especially because my driving style tends to favour slight oversteer.

Can you just adjust the wheel lock in the game? That's how I overcame understeer in all of the NASCAR games I've had.

Keys in GP4 are horrible. No throttle control means you lose vital tenths in the corners when you could be applying some throttle. Also allows for much better braking with ABS off! Considering I drive like a touring car driver (throw the car around like a ragdoll and hope it sticks) having understeer and locking brakes is asking for disaster.

Yeah I've tried that, but I still can't get rid of the understeer.

1991 BRAZILIAN GRAND PRIX - Interlagos

QUALIFYING
I have resorted to using the keys which has cost me about a second on this lap and I was nowhere near as quick as at Phoenix. I qualified right in the middle of the pack as I couldn't find a great setup and plus this circuit did not suit my driving style. Meanwhile at the front of the pack, Senna beat Patrese to pole by just under a tenth. My first lap was going very well before a spin and my second lap was very slow, I had time for one more lap which went quite well. In the end, I qualified in 11th position and I am 2-0 in the Dallara qualifying battle.

1. Ayrton Senna 1.20.703
2. Riccardo Patrese 1.20.789
3. Nigel Mansell 1.21.094

9. Andrea De Cesaris 1.22.355
10. Pierluigi Martini 1.22.379
11. Jack Christopherson 1.22.624
12. Stefano Modena 1.23.032
13. Mauricio Gugelmin 1.23.280

15. Emmanuele Pirro 1.25.503

RACE
Up front, Mansell battled his way past Patrese at the front whilst I made a less than perfect start when I lost out to Modena, I repassed him at the end of the back straight though. I stayed with the leading pack and closed up on Prost and De Cesaris. Prost passed De Cesaris on Lap 6 and one lap later I went for an all-or-nothing lunge down the inside going into the Curva Do Sol (as it was known back then), fortunately it worked out for me. Halfway round lap 14, I spun after running wide over a kerb and dropped from 10th to 15th. On the next lap, I lunged past Gachot for 14th. For some reason, I go for dangerous passes on Jordans. The attrition rate was extremely low and there were only 3 retirements. Bailey, Brundle and Capelli. I spent the second half of the race battling with Martini and De Cesaris for 10th but could only pass Martini and scored my second consecutive 11th place finish. Not a bad start to the career but I want to work harder and put a good race together with no mistakes or incidents and hopefully score some points by the mid-point of the season. Senna took the chequered flag at his home race and the crowd were ecstatic.. Patrese finished ahead of Mansell again whilst only 7 drivers finished on the lead lap.

REJECT OF THE RACE: Julian Bailey - For qualifying dead last whilst rookie Hakkinen was 17th and failing to finish.

RESULTS
1. Ayrton Senna 1hr 41m 32.884s
2. Riccardo Patrese +4.071s
3. Nigel Mansell +19.872s
4. Jean Alesi +45.093s
5. Gerhard Berger +53.653s

ROUND 3 - 1991 SAN MARINO GRAND PRIX - Imola

QUALIFYING
Qualifying was an absolute disaster for me as I couldn't string a single lap together without making a mistake which resulted in me qualifying in bog last and my team-mate out-qualifying me for the first time in my career and lapping just under 5 seconds off the pace. Meanwhile at the front of the grid, which people don't tend to care about on this forum, Senna just edged out Patrese, Mansell and Berger. Interestingly enough at the early stages of the season, Riccardo Patrese has been the driver heading the Williams championship challenge and being constantly quicker than Mansell. On my last lap, if I hadn't made a mistake, I could well have out-qualified Berger for 4th as I was only 1 tenth down after sector 2. My team-mate qualified 10th showing that the Dallara was actually quite competitive at Imola. It was incredibly close as Senna, Patrese and Mansell were seperated by less than a tenth.

1. Ayrton Senna 1.24.957
2. Riccardo Patrese 1.25.028
3. Nigel Mansell 1.25.043

10. Emmanuele Pirro 1.26.773

20. Mika Hakkinen 1.28.260
21. Julian Bailey 1.29.116
22. Jack Christopherson 1.29.682

RACE
I made quite a good start and made my way up to 13th by the end of the first lap mostly due to being able to pick my way through traffic at the hairpin straight after the Villeneuve corner. On Lap 2, I caused a potentially horrific collision in which I banged wheels with my teammate and he done a barrel roll, fortunately he only damaged his front wing and wasn't injured. I then was embroiled in a 4 car battle for 12th place with Brundle, Capelli and Nakajima until Lap 23 where I spun off whilst exiting the Villeneuve and careered into the tyre wall back first. A bad way to end what was an awful race. Undoubtedly, I earned Reject of the Race.

REJECT OF THE RACE: Jack Christopherson - Last in qualifying, could have injured teammate and crashed heavily

RESULTS
1. Ayrton Senna 1hr 37m 56.821s
2. Riccardo Patrese +13.634s
3. Nigel Mansell +47.098s

ROUND 4 - 1991 MONACO GRAND PRIX - Monte Carlo

PRE-RACE RUMOURS
The first news is coming from the Lotus garage where Julian Bailey could be given the boot if he does not perform at Monaco. Three lackluster performances and blown into the weeds by rookie teammate Mika Hakkinen is enough justification for this potential decision that Lotus may make.

QUALIFYING
I had to lower the difficulty for this race from Semi-Pro to Amateur, yes Amateur (Please don't laugh) as I was fed up of being several seconds off the pace whilst using the keys whilst I kept trying to qualify and started again. Even now I could only qualify 20th (Once again, please don't laugh), but I can take one positive from qualifying, I was ahead of Nigel Mansell by half a second. My teammate was a lot happier with the car as he qualified a magnificent 8th. Ayrton Senna took a well deserved pole position whilst Riccardo Patrese qualified 2nd for the fourth race in a row. Would he make it a fourth consecutive 2nd place finish as well or could he go one better? Julian Bailey didn't do his career any good by being last on Saturday, although he was only 0.005 seconds slower than Mansell. The way I look at it is that "The race is won on Sunday, not Saturday", quoted from 2003 reject centrale on the Olivier Panis review.

1. Ayrton Senna 1.23.136
2. Riccardo Patrese 1.23.487
3. Gerhard Berger 1.23.667

8. Emmanuele Pirro 1.24.820

19. Martin Brundle 1.26.362
20. Jack Christopherson 1.26.461
21. Nigel Mansell 1.26.941

RACE
I made an excellent start to the race by outbraking other drivers into turn 1 and by the end of the first lap. Senna didn't make a great start though as he lost out to Patrese. I was actually up to 14th place and chasing the two Leyton House cars. A couple of laps later, I found a way past Gugelmin going into the Nouvelle chicane, I was then in pursuit of Capelli. The first retirement was Mika Hakkinen in his Lotus after a mechanical problem. On lap 17, whilst I was still chasing Capelli, I ran wide at Casino Square and suffered the consequences of a second consecutive DNF. The attirition rate was fairly high at Monaco as there were a lot of engine failures and a couple of other problems. Mid-race, Senna was pressuring Patrese but after 55 laps, it looked like Senna had gave up on winning the race and was hoping for a problem. Gerhard Berger was the major retirement of the race whilst lapping Martin Brundle who was clearly Brabham's second driver at Monaco. In the end Riccardo Patrese took the chequered flag and along with it, the championship lead.

REJECT OF THE RACE: Nigel Mansell - 21st in qualifying and very uncompetitive throughout the race.

1. Riccardo Patrese 1hr 54m 22.091s
2. Ayrton Senna +20.342s
3. Alain Prost +34.857s
4. Roberto Moreno +41.032s
5. Jean Alesi +43.686s
6. Stefano Modena +54.117s
7. Mark Blundell +1m 04.156s

ROUND 5 - 1991 CANADIAN GRAND PRIX - Montreal

PRE-RACE
Lotus have sacked Julian Bailey due to poor performances, he has been replaced by Johnny Herbert. Would he fare any better against young Mika Hakkinen? Only time will tell. Also, rumours are that Nelson Piquet will retire at the end of the 1991 championship season.

QUALIFYING
Dallara driver Jack Christopherson is hoping to improve after a couple of poor qualifying performances. Is he the most inconsistent qualifier on the current grid? Either way he will want to have a better weekend. Championship leader Riccardo Patrese continued his fine form of the start of the season by securing his first pole position of the season ahead of Berger, Mansell, Alesi and Senna. Meanwhile, I finally returned to good qualifying form by breaking into the top 10. Montreal has always been one of my strong circuits so a solid performance was expected. Pirro was also competitive to solidify Dallara's position in the midfield setting the 13th fastest time. Alain Prost started 21st after mechanical problems during qualifying, Bertrand Gachot also had some problems and started last.

1. Riccardo Patrese 1.21.023

8. Roberto Moreno 1.22.549
9. Jack Christopherson 1.22.663
10. Stefano Modena 1.22.792

13. Emmanuele Pirro 1.22.895

RACE
I made a pretty good start and got past Andrea De Cesaris who made a mediocre start from 7th position. Unfortunately, on the first lap, I made a move on Moreno and spun in the process. I rejoined on the track in 18th. Pirro made a reasonable start and was up to 11th by the end of Lap 1. A huge shock which could be crucial for the championship later on happened at the end of Lap 2 as Senna was having gearbox problems and was forced to retire. I couldn't make my way up the field very well and by half-way, I was only up to 15th, partially because of a Hakkinen DNF and still wasn't making any progress. At the start of the final lap, I banged wheels with Bertrand Gachot thus both spinning and colliding again. Gachot lost a wheel. Riccardo Patrese dominated the entire Grand Prix and nobody was even close to matching him resulting in him extending his championship lead.

REJECT OF THE RACE: Brabham - Once legendary team clearly the slowest team on the grid.

1. Riccardo Patrese 1hr 38m 42.367s
2. Gerhard Berger +49.331s
3. Nigel Mansell +55.012s
4. Jean Alesi +1m 02.341s
5. Roberto Moreno +1m 03.009s

ROUND 6 - 1991 AUSTRIAN GRAND PRIX - A1-Ring

You can't get a Mexico City circuit yet on GP4 so I am replacing it with the A1-Ring, let's see if I can do any better here.

QUALIFYING
Finding a good setup at this circuit isn't quite as difficult as on other circuits but it's still vital to find a good setup here. I managed to find a decent one, due to the fact that the A1-Ring has a lot of 90-degree-ish bends similar to Phoenix. Meanwhile, at the front of the grid Senna and Patrese continued their intense battle, this time, Senna pipped Patrese to pole by 0.007 seconds. Everyone was expecting Mansell to be the title challenger for Williams but Patrese is really showing his experience. I equalled my previous qualifying position and will once again start 9th.

1. Ayrton Senna 1.17.107
2. Riccardo Patrese 1.17.114

8. Roberto Moreno 1.18.365
9. Jack Christopherson 1.18.516
10. Stefano Modena 1.18.550

13. Emmanuele Pirro 1.19.119

RACE
I made a very good start and found myself in 6th place by the end of the first corner by outbraking Berger and getting past Moreno and Piquet. Piquet got an awful start from 7th on the grid and found himself behind myself, Moreno and Modena. The race quickly got very processional in the opening laps apart from an overtake by Moreno on Berger for 7th place. I made a small mistake at the top of the hill after braking too late which let Moreno past for 6th place. I knew that without reliability issues for the frontrunners, 6th was the best I could hope for as Alesi in 5th was miles ahead of me already after about 15 laps. I was fighting for 6th with Piquet, Berger and Moreno and to a lesser extent, Modena. Modena retired after about 40 laps with transmission problems. Senna held off both Mansell and Patrese who were battling for 2nd place. Mansell eventually got the upper hand. Senna took the chequered flag ahead of Mansell, Patrese, Prost and Alesi. Meanwhile, with 4 laps to go, I passed Moreno for 6th place to score my first point!!!!!!

1. Ayrton Senna 1hr 37m 45.330s
2. Nigel Mansell +23.654s
3. Riccardo Patrese +27.089s
4. Alain Prost +34.854s

ROUND 7 - 1991 FRENCH GRAND PRIX - Magny Cours

PRE-RACE
Ferrari's season now depends on whether their new car, the Ferrari 643, can put them at least amongst Mclaren and Williams. Rumours are also strengthening about Prost not driving for Ferrari for 1992.

QUALIFYING
Personally, I don't find this circuit challenging at all and I wish I was able to race on Paul Ricard, even though Magny Cours did stage the 1991 French Grand Prix. Qualifying went very well and I once again put my Dallara in the top 6. Ferrari's car did not bring instant improvements as they were still off the pace of Mclaren and Williams. Senna done the usual business and put his car on pole position alongside Mansell. Gugelmin's Leyton House had some substantial problems and set a time in the mid 1m40s range.

1. Ayrton Senna 1.21.004

5. Alain Prost 1.21.669
6. Jack Christopherson 1.21.980
7. Nelson Piquet 1.22.401

12. Emmanuele Pirro 1.23.137

RACE
I made quite a bad start and dropped down to about 9th or 10th and had to recover. At the front, Nigel Mansell got past Senna at the start and Prost also made his way past Patrese. The Deadbeat Teammate Roberto Moreno was the first retirement with an engine problem very early on. The Jordan team had improved pace and De Cesaris was a serious challenger for points and Gachot was not to be counted out until his crash on Lap 31. Patrese and Piquet retired almost simultaneously with engine problems. The attrition rate was quite high and a lot of frontrunners were pulling out. At the halfway stage, the order was Mansell, Senna, Prost, Berger, De Cesaris, Modena, Alesi and Christopherson. Alesi spun into the gravel trap and took a while to recover. I was too far behind to catch De Cesaris and Modena and had to hope for a problem for someone further in front. On the last lap, Senna, Prost and Berger were literally inseperable and Prost went for broke and passed Senna for 2nd. Meanwhile, Mansell who was leading had a puncture and couldn't make it to the end. Prost took the chequered flag infront of his loyal home crowd. Jordan took their first points with De Cesaris taking 3 points and just keeping Modena behind him. I also scored another point.

1. Alain Prost 1hr 39m 41.228s
2. Ayrton Senna +0.782s

ROUND 8 - 1991 BRITISH GRAND PRIX - Silverstone

PRE-RACE
All the media attention is on Nigel Mansell as he heads towards his home Grand Prix after heartbreak on the last lap at Magny-Cours. However, Dallara driver Jack Christopherson is after his third consecutive points finish in Dallara's bid to finish 5th in the Constructor's Championship against Jordan and Tyrrell. There were no driver changes for this race. The three divisions of teams looked set to continue with Mclaren, Ferrari, Williams and to a lesser extent, Benetton at the front. Jordan, Tyrrell and Dallara in the midfield and Minardi, Lotus, Leyton House and Brabham at the back. Would the new Silverstone layout carry on the trend or not?

QUALIFYING
I was flying in qualifying and didn't make a single mistake at all and qualified just ahead of Jean Alesi and Ayrton Senna. Williams were once again the quickest team with Nigel Mansell and Riccardo Patrese setting exactly the same lap time. Nigel Mansell will start on pole due to setting the lap time first. The top 5 drivers were separated by less than a tenth of a second. Pierluigi Martini was also extremely impressive, he qualified 7th in his Minardi and he will be looking for Minardi's first points of the season. Gerhard Berger endured a disappointing qualifying session and will start in 12th. However, he was only a second slower than Mansell showing how close the grid was.

1. Nigel Mansell 1.30.825
2. Riccardo Patrese 1.30.825
3. Jack Christopherson 1.30.879
4. Jean Alesi 1.30.899
5. Ayrton Senna 1.30.920

13. Emmaunele Pirro 1.32.300

RACE
I did not make the best of starts in all honesty and lost out to Alesi at the start. You have no idea yet how costly that will turn out to be. I kept Senna behind me though. Mansell and Patrese kept their positions and Prost battled his way up to 6th ahead of Modena and Martini. Patrese retired quite early on with a puncture promoting me to third and Senna spun after running wide and he dropped to the back of the field. The order was then Mansell, Alesi, Christopherson, Prost, Modena and Piquet. Gerhard Berger retired with a transmission problem on Lap 34, the lap after Moreno retired with an engine failure. That didn't affect the top 6 but Martini was up to 7th after dropping behind Berger earlier on. On lap 51, Piquet passed Modena for 5th. With 4 laps to go, Mansell encountered a problem and had to pit, handing Alesi the lead and promoting Martini to 6th. With 2 laps to go, Prost ran wide handing 3rd place to Piquet, that was short-lived though as he pulled off several hundred metres afterwards with a water leak. Jean Alesi crossed the line to record his second win of the season. I finished second and recorded my first ever podium finish, and what better place to do that than the track where I grew up 50 miles from.

1. Jean Alesi 1hr 31m 43.566s
2. Jack Christopherson +8.981s
3. Alain Prost +10.044s
4. Stefano Modena +13.363s

GP4 is working again and the German Grand Prix will be underway soon. I will be using rFactor for the 1993 season as GP4 does not have a 1993 or 1992 season. I might have to skip 1992 altogether.

ROUND 9 - 1991 GERMAN GRAND PRIX - Hockenheim

PRE-RACE
Lotus have brought in German driver Michael Bartels to replace Johnny Herbert for four of the remaining rounds of the 1991 season. His debut will take place at his home event. Also, Tyrrell driver Satoru Nakajima has made the decision to retire at the end of 1991.

QUALIFYING
Qualifying didn't go well for me, that could be seen as a bit of an understatement. There was quite a lot of rain on the track and I couldn't keep myself from drifting through some of the corners. In the end, I was about 4 and a half seconds slower than pole-sitter Nigel Mansell. Williams locked out Row 1 whilst Ferrari locked out Row 2. Senna could only manage 6th whilst Martini qualified well into the top 10. I was 21st but still comfortably quicker than Ivan Capelli. Pirro qualified in the top half in a commendable 11th.

1. Nigel Mansell 2.06.403
2. Riccardo Patrese 2.06.453
3. Alain Prost 2.06.956

11. Emmanuele Pirro 2.08.289

20. Martin Brundle 2.11.182
21. Jack Christopherson 2.11.274
22. Ivan Capelli 2.14.583

RACE
Berger made a nightmare start from 13th and dropped to 16th whilst I moved up to 18th for a while. Mansell and Patrese exchanged the lead throughout the first couple of laps. Unfortunately for me, I locked up my wheels before entering the arena section of the first lap and hit the wall. That was the end of my race. Senna made a charge and battled through the Ferraris for 3rd and left them to squabble between themselves. Piquet's afternoon ended prematurely after being nudged by an out of control Martini. Bartels was far from disgracing himself on his debut having qualified in 19th and running ahead of Hakkinen for a while. Patrese and Senna both pulled off with problems approximately halfway through the race. Martini was fighting for points until his transmission gave up on him. On the penultimate lap, the order was Mansell, Alesi, Prost, Modena, De Cesaris, Gachot, Nakajima and Pirro. Towards the end of lap 44, Mansell picked up a puncture. Fortunately, he only had to travel a few hundred metres to the pits. The two Ferraris and Modena jumped him and he had to fight for 4th place with De Cesaris. In the end, Jean Alesi took the chequered flagto close the gap on the two championship leaders.

REJECT OF THE RACE: Pierluigi Martini/Mclaren - Martini for costing Piquet a potential podium finish/Mclaren for being off the pace in qualifying and a double DNF.

1. Jean Alesi 1hr 21m 33.896s
2. Alain Prost +3.441s
3. Stefano Modena +10.563s

ROUND 10 - 1991 HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX - Hungaroring

QUALIFYING
My qualifying was generally good and I was mixing it with the Benettons. Berger had another shocker and will start 15th. In the end, Senna took pole position from Patrese and Mansell, Minardi were slow, 19th and 20th just ahead of the 2 Lotuses. Leyton House were reasonably competitive for once with Capelli 12th and Gugelmin 13th. I outqualified Pirro. I was 8th, he was 11th again. So things don't look too bad do they?

1. Ayrton Senna 1.24.588
2. Riccardo Patrese 1.24.702
3. Nigel Mansell 1.25.206

7. Roberto Moreno 1.26.348
8. Jack Christopherson 1.26.679
9. Stefano Modena 1.26.947

11. Emmanuele Pirro 1.27.748

RACE
Patrese made the perfect start to jump ahead of Senna, Mansell could not do the same. Moreno got away poorly from 7th and dropped down the field. A second lap incident involving De Cesaris and Nakajima required both drivers to pit for new front wings. Modena made a rocket start to jump up to 5th. After the first few laps, the order was Patrese, Senna, Piquet, Mansell, Modena and Prost. Prost then made a mistake and spun, which allowed me to take 7th position, and Alesi moved up to 6th. Alesi then made a mistake and allowed Prost to move past. Modena spun off and moved to the back of the grid, barring De Cesaris and Nakajima. I made a few mistakes, one of them being going over the kerb and smashing into the wall coming out of turn 1 after running wide. Berger started to challenge for points before another engine failure put pay to any chances. Halfway through, there was an interesting 4 way battle for the lead, Patrese, Senna, Piquet and Mansell all fighting for the lead. Senna picked up a puncture near the end of the race. He pitted with 4 laps to go and was down to 10th. The order then was Patrese, Piquet, Mansell, Moreno, Prost, Alesi, Capelli, Gugelmin, Pirro, Senna. Senna still wanted to race and passed Pirro who wouldn't give up easily. After all was said and done, Riccardo Patrese picked up a vital 10 points to go into a points lead in the championship.

REJECT OF THE RACE: McLaren - Everything that could go wrong, did.

1. Riccardo Patrese 1hr 49m 13.201s
2. Nelson Piquet +2.465s

ROUND 11 - 1991 BELGIAN GRAND PRIX - Spa-Francorchamps

PRE-RACE
All the attention leading up to the race was focused on F1's newest team, Jordan. Bertrand Gachot was out of the Jordan team on mutual consent after learning that he would not be racing for them in 1992. The newest driver on the block was young German talent Michael Schumacher. In the Lotus garage, Johnny Herbert was back in the number 12 car after missing 2 races from F3000 commitments.

QUALIFYING
Qualifying was damp and gave a few surprises. The biggest surprises were Andrea De Cesaris qualifying 4th in his Jordan and Pierluigi Martini made the top 6 in his Minardi. Championship contenders Ayrton Senna and Riccardo Patrese were on the front row although due to the conditions, Senna was the only driver to qualify under the 2 minute mark. Dallara were also quick with me 7th and Pirro 9th. Pirro and Nakajima are going to be aiming for their first points of the season.

1. Ayrton Senna 1.59.570
2. Riccardo Patrese 2.00.229
3. Nelson Piquet 2.01.225

6. Pierluigi Martini 2.02.623
7. Jack Christopherson 2.03.089
8. Satoru Nakajima 2.03.314

9. Emmanuele Pirro 2.03.553

RACE
I made a reasonable start, Patrese jumped ahead of Senna. Nakajima and De Cesaris made turbo starts whilst Pirro dropped back. A lot of drivers over the course of the race suffered punctures, the list includes Senna, Mansell, Christopherson, Berger, Hakkinen and Herbert. Mine and Mansell's happened quite early and dropped us to the back of the grid. Fortunately, Spa was a good track for overtaking and I made my way past Lotuses, Leyton Houses and Brabhams until I suffered an engine failure after 16 laps. With a few laps to go, the order was Senna, Prost, De Cesaris, Nakajima, Alesi, Martini, Piquet. Senna's puncture cost him dearly as he was dominating the race and missed the perfect chance to close the gap on Patrese who retired with a transmission failure. He dropped back behind the two Ferraris who were second and third at the time, Alesi made his way through the field and Piquet drove round the outside of Martini at Les Combes. Prost was comfortably ahead of Alesi to take his first victory of the season and make it a 4 way title fight. Prost, Senna, Patrese, Alesi.

1. Alain Prost 1hr 30m 27.117s
2. Jean Alesi +12.244s
3. Ayrton Senna +23.809s
4. Satoru Nakajima +25.010s

ROUND 12 - 1991 ITALIAN GRAND PRIX - Monza

PRE-RACE
The big news heading into the Italian Grand Prix was the driver trade between Benetton and Jordan. Michael Schumacher and Roberto Moreno were to swap teams, presumably for the rest of the season. Michael Schumacher looked impressive and Benetton was his chance to show what kind of driver he was.

QUALIFYING
Qualifying was a tad disappointing for me, I could never enter the first two chicanes correctly and lost vital tenths that way. I ended up a lowly 15th, outqualified by Emmanuele Pirro who was 11th quickest. Senna scored yet another pole position ahead of the two Williams drivers of Mansell, then Patrese. Mansell was not considered a championship contender for this season due to his awful luck in some races. His focus was surely to aid Riccardo Patrese by getting ahead of Senna at the start. The Williams car was a good starter, and better than the McLaren.

1. Ayrton Senna 1.28.198
2. Nigel Mansell 1.28.548
3. Riccardo Patrese 1.28.561

11. Emmanuele Pirro 1.30.206

14. Andrea De Cesaris 1.30.454
15. Jack Christopherson 1.30.765
16. Gianni Morbidelli 1.30.797

RACE
A decent start for me, I was unable to make up too many positions but I got past Nakajima who had a shocker off the line. Patrese got ahead of Mansell at the start and Prost jumped ahead of Berger. The first retirement was an early one for Nakajima as he was involved in a 50/50 accident with Martin Brundle. Alesi spun off on lap 2 and was relegated near the back of the grid. The order after the first few laps was Senna, Patrese, Prost, Mansell, Berger and Schumacher. I didn't have too much pace and was unable to make any progress up the grid. Piquet and Patrese retired simultaneously, Piquet had an engine failure and Patrese had transmission problems. Nigel Mansell also failed to finish after a problem approximately halfway through. The order at that point was Prost, Senna, Berger, Schumacher, Modena, Moreno, De Cesaris and Gugelmin. Senna was the next DNF after a throttle malfunction. The frontrunners were dropping out of the race like leaves in the autumn. Michael Schumacher suffered a puncture and ended in the gravel with 7 laps to go. The biggest heartbreak was for Berger after retiring on the penultimate lap. His atrocious luck in 1991 continues. Meanwhile Alesi continued battling his way up the field and challenged Moreno for 3rd on the last lap. Prost won his 2nd consecutive race in front of the ecstatic Tifosi and established his challenge for the 1991 Drivers Championship.

1. Alain Prost 1hr 23m 37.144s
2. Stefano Modena +57.382s
3. Roberto Moreno +1m 03.970s
4. Jean Alesi +1m 04.875s
5. Andrea De Cesaris +1m 08.272s
6. Pierluigi Martini +1m 11.021s
7. Ivan Capelli +1m 14.819s
8. Mauricio Gugelmin +1m 20.752s
9. Mark Blundell +1 Lap
10. Emmanuele Pirro +1 Lap
11. Mika Hakkinen +1 Lap
12. Jack Christopherson +2 Laps
13. Gianni Morbidelli +2 Laps
14. Martin Brundle +3 Laps
15. Michael Bartels +4 Laps

REJECT OF THE RACE: Reliability of the top teams - McLaren, Williams and Benetton all Double DNF.

ROUND 13 - 1991 PORTUGUESE GRAND PRIX - Estoril

QUALIFYING
The closest qualifying session of the season, by a long way as well. Andrea De Cesaris, who qualified 10th, was less than 0.9 seconds off pole. Even Johnny Herbert who qualified last was less than 3 seconds off Patrese's pole time. It simply was that close, especially the top 3. For me? I qualified 13th and was reasonably satisfied with sharing row 7 with Pirro. What you'd expect from the team in 7th place in the standings really isn't it?

1. Riccardo Patrese 1.17.002
2. Nigel Mansell 1.17.007
3. Ayrton Senna 1.17.025

12. Roberto Moreno 1.18.223
13. Jack Christopherson 1.18.479
14. Emmanuele Pirro 1.18.647

RACE
How close would the race be? Williams were not hoping for it to be too close after locking out the front row. Berger made the best start challenging the two Williams cars into turn 1. Mansell got the jump on Patrese though, at turn 5 on the first lap. I actually made a few places at the start, I rarely make good starts on the 1991 mod so this was a nice change. I however undone all my good work when I tangled with Modena, no damage was done to either car, but I spun and dropped to 20th place. The attrition was surprisingly low. Gerhard Berger's awful luck made him the first retirement roughly a third of the way through the race with an engine failure. The only other real incident was Mansell's puncture that caused him to retire, and Patrese having to pit because of damage caused from lapping Gugelmin. Ayrton Senna comfortably won the race to put himself firmly in the championship hunt. Mansell's dreams are now all but over. I never recovered and finished a disappointing 16th.

1. Ayrton Senna 1hr 37m 44.312s
2. Jean Alesi +20.589s
3. Alain Prost +23.404s
4. Nelson Piquet +41.340s
