F5 - AI's CharlieBot & Bourdais Team Up to Trash Delgado

NOGARORING - From the start of qualifying, you knew it could potentially be a miserable day for MRD-Simtek. Tom Delgado crashed his #37 MTV Simtek off of pit road attempting his qualification lap, and then on lap 7, Delgado spun off the track and could not get out of the grass, forcing him to get towed and lose 2 laps in the process. He came back out after repairs, thinking about trying to make it to the end on one stop. Unfortunately that same lap, he was tagged from behind by CharlieBot, then on lap 8 he was punted off the track by Sebastian Bourdais, ending his day with engine damage. Thus Tom Delgado gets his 2nd last place finish of the season, and his 3rd last place finish of his Formula 5 career.
