That may be true, Evan. But he also said that he would be willing to sit at the start line all day and throw away a potential world championship victory for himself to keep the other person from winning (by following). That is a pretty powerful statement, and to me seems more than just complaining because he is not winning. Hopefully, the weather will let us all see how it plays out.

Just my two cents,
Steve Leonard

Lets all remember one should not measured by what he has said but what he has done.

Kawa has done plenty of the cat and mouse flying he's complaining about! It's just that he's usually winning. No one complains when they are winning.

best,
Evan

C'mon, Evan, the video "complaint" was made on the day he won the class on the first contest day!..and referred to weather that did not reflect on the pilots skill. He was being humble.

Too bad they can't call a POST, that would spread the field out a bit

or best yet...a zero turn MAT of 5 + hours!

That's why US rules are "KING" and the World should adopt them! :}.

No, he's unhappy that he's getting beaten.

Kawa's earlier WGC video shows that he's being consistent in expressing his dislike for the blue days since it doesn't put the emphasis on individual pilot performance. Just 33 pts off 1st place. (his teammate is in 3rd)

his deficit is almost equal to what he lost to Mak on the day he placed 18th.

Jus' so we're clear: I'm not casting aspersions on anyone, least of all Sebastian Kawa.

There definitely is a point at which the tactical game starts to detract from the soaring game, and it sounds like Mak and Sebastian have reached that point, and that's unfortunate.

The wind has shifted, and we will re-grid on runway 08. Same grid order. First launch 1300. #wgc2017

Just what the crews needed on the last day after yesterday's mudfest!
