Information
Date and time SS Information
24.11.2024 12:11 21 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I really tried from the beginning, then too much pushing in the beginning, I was making mistakes myself. Fingers crossed for Séb and Elfyn. Of course I tried. Very sorry for the fans, I was not able to take the podium this time. But still they are supporting me a lot so big thanks to them and the team. This time I was on the limit. I managed, huge thanks to the team and thank you so much.
24.11.2024 05:11 20 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is nice to drive this kind of stage and lot of people here. So many Japanese fans and of course my main target is to proper push on the Wolf Power Stage, so I try. I was waiting whole weekend for this, so I have to go. No plan, just flat out.
24.11.2024 02:11 19 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I just follow the strategy and let's see in the next pass what I can do.
24.11.2024 00:11 18 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Nothing has changed, just keep going, bring the car back. Let's see next stage what I can do. Depends on the situation if we win the Wolf Power Stage, I need to check.
24.11.2024 00:11 17 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Why we are so slow? Just strategy.
23.11.2024 15:11 16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): That is cool to drive, lot of people there. Final day of the season tomorrow, try to do our best to bring a good result for the team.
23.11.2024 14:11 15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): This is a problem when you are not pushing, some sections you feel good and smooth, some sections it is bumpy and you're losing time. It is sad to hear we are not on the pace.
23.11.2024 14:11 14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It would be nice to catch Fourmaux because Séb is quite okay position wise. In case anything happens in front I have to be in front of Adrien at least, maybe now I need to try. It's a very nice stage, nice condition. Could be better but it is nice and enjoyable.
23.11.2024 14:11 13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I expected even worse, I was so cautious. Maximum push now, it is tricky enough. I just keep going and that's it. I think the hard tyre is working quite okay. Good job by Pirelli.
23.11.2024 03:11 12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I hit something on the inside and I was looking down the straight, but we are here. Expected better grip but then I was lucky a bit as I didn't want to go off the road, next corner there was moss on the road and I spun.
23.11.2024 03:11 12 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): was out of road
23.11.2024 01:11 11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's good, nice stage, bit less pollution so I can drive a bit more. I just follow our strategy. Hopefully Séb is going as fast as possible. Of course it would be nice to get a podium but it is not the target for me this weekend, I just follow the team strategy. The target is help for the team, that is it.
23.11.2024 01:11 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Safely through, tricky stage actually. Many things can happen today and tomorrow so let's stay on the road.
22.11.2024 13:11 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure we gave it a big push, we hit inside a box, one corner was completely wet. I try to do stable and nice shift tomorrow.
22.11.2024 13:11 7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I have no idea what happened, just couldn't see. Obviously tyres are not working so well, so it is fine. Adrien in third is good for tomorrow road position so it is fine.
22.11.2024 13:11 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Unfortunately no rain here! Quite difficult to drive, tyres are moving a lot. Tyre choice is maybe not good but nothing too crazy. I am happy it was a safer choice.
22.11.2024 13:11 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Much cleaner conditions, not the best tyre choice for this stage. It's crazy, some places are polluted a lot. It's not easy.
22.11.2024 02:11 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Let's see how it is going for everybody. For sure we never give up but the situation is not so good at the moment. It is quite different at the moment, not pushing so much and losing the feeling in the car, so it is quite different and we just want to get the car back.
22.11.2024 01:11 3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Just need to get through. Just follow the plan as we planned before, nothing has changed. Much quicker than the previous stage, much more happening.
22.11.2024 00:11 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I have ideas where it came from. Not nice.
22.11.2024 00:11 2 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): puncture
21.11.2024 13:11 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Super special feeling, nice to see all the fans here, my friends and family. It will not be easy, but I will try to do my best. I am still waiting for a message from Jari-Matti to push. I don't know when it's coming so let's see. Thank you to Red Bull for my helmet.
