In Budapest and Porto, the MXS continued to show it's true capabilities. Despite its weight disadvantage, we are getting closer to the podium.

The introduction of a super slowmo camera to pick up penalties for tiny infringements invisible to the naked eye (stewards, spectators and even to the pilots' onboard cameras) is proving very unpopular with all the competitors. Such a penalty in Budapest denied the Breitling Team a place in the semi-finals so, by flying in a far more conservative manner in Porto, I managed to avoid one in the Super 8 race... but, no surprises here...... missing the next round by 0.3 secs makes me wish I'd been more aggressive and ignored 'Big Brother'! Improvements to the stewarding system are being worked on and many of us are hoping that, starting in Perth, cameras will be used only to confirm what the stewards suspect. We do want the crowds to understand what's going on so, if the human eye can't see the penalty, why should there be one? So, fingers crossed for Perth.... no rules changes; let's just change the way the slowmo camera is used.
