It was a strange race for Pal Virik Nilsen in Baku. First pracitice went normal but after that everything got poorer every lap. Some issues with the ECU on the engine made the engine low on power and on lap 11 Pal retired from the race.
Pal says: I am off course very dissapointed. I came to this race to fight for the podium. But i was way off that goal. Quite frustrating but what can i do. We must find the issue and kick back in Italy soon. The start was a comedy. Drivers do what they want on the first straight. I got a stupid driver in a yellow boat on my poonton even before i got on plane. After that this poor driver just pushed me away and took my line. And he did not get a penalty as usual. I am tired that nobody gets penalties in Formula 2. Seems everything is allowed and no people in the U.I.M has the power to make a penalty or yellow/red cards. Also in Stockholm Erik Stark went on the wrong side of the first pin... and he won the race without any penalty! I hope this will be better pretty soon. Now i look forward to Italy GP!
