WIEDEMANN WINS WEST BEND GP
Takes 4th Straight 2013 F1 Win
Takes 4th Straight 2013 F1 Win
"It's John Wiedemann's world," says Super Kamikawa driver Everet Kamikawa. "We're just lucky to be living in it." Indeed it must be great to live as John Wiedemann as the driver looks to have a solid lock on the F1 title after four F1 events in the 2013 season.
"We don't want to talk championships right now and we've been ordered not to talk about it," says a junior Jaguar team spokesman intern. "In fact I shouldn't have even told you that!"
The short field made things a lot easier for JW. Mike Lack in the sister Jaguar used home track advantage to dig his way out of trouble all night to finish second. The Super Kamikawa team hasn't found the setup at all on these new F1 cars and quickly gathered and served all penalties. It was only Dan Margetta's Red Bull team , who also couldn't find the set up, that prevented Kamikawa from finishing fourth.
Tempers flared as drivers used "rough driving" to the maximum without going overboard. The teams were mad from all the damage that would have to be repaired, however the crowd loved it.
The LMP cars continued to impress the drivers but also retain their reputation as having a high learning curve. All drivers struggled with the bigger, wider cars. Tempers flared as cars seemed to spin off for no reason causing frustration that lead to cars being parked or drivers traction breaking loose and cars smashing into one another. In one case a Peugot was parked next to the food stand. Fans and crew were enjoying the interaction when an Audi barrel rolled into the crowd. Fortunately no one was hurt.
An ugly race still resulted in a win for Wiedemann with Kamikawa second, followed by Lack and Margetta.
