1976 F1 Season - Round 6 Monte Carlo REPORTS
#1
Another "high" finish, P6, for me. Near PB qualy lap put me P9 on the grid. Par for the course. It's Monaco, overtaking is near impossible. Every position I gave up was due to a bobble on my part. Every position I gained was through someone else's bobble. So main trick is to NOT bobble!

Had fun battles with Fergy, Tobias, Shannon, Parzoe. Sorry Shannon for crunching you in the accordion at last turn. No way I could stop. (Edit: Sorry, got my wrecks mixed up, this was when you slowed for Tobias. No accordion effect.) I waited for a couple of seconds to let you get back by but it looked like you disappeared. I see you finished the race so I don't know what happened there.

Edit2: Later I got crunched between Fergy Gorka and Parzoe at the same corner. Apparently no (or not much) damage to any of us. Then Parzoe hounded me for 20 laps, almost to the end.

In the end Parzoe must have bobbled and left a big gap behind me so I just needed to cruise it on home on the one set of tires. I really would have liked to have stopped but no way I was going to give up the track position. Same for everybody I guess.

I think J Cook got P8 so a respectable team finish!
