Last change is not a race, but a time qualifying practice! So it is possible that Rupeiks had the quickest lap in lap no 1 and that lateron the engine broke

Last change isn't a race.
Rupeiks could only make 1 fast lap but the engine was still running not well.
All night and day they did try to fix the problems, but still not succesful.
Even after race 1, they could use parts of Daiders, but this also didn't work out. This engine is giving many problems and need to rebuild complete.
Lets hope they can find a solution for their problems now.
