If they have too much downforce to offset poor balance then they have to stay in 5th to have enough power to push the car around. Without the extra downforce you have a loose condition and either burn your tires or end up in the wall. Ed Carpenter had perfect balance hence, top speed and pole position. Helio guessed wrong on the downforce and couldn't get the car to go fast enough even when he had the foot glued to the floor.
Hinch can't blame Pippa for wanting to try to get into the show. He has to blame himself for having a poor first run.
Hinch has been in the booth before and did well. Cheever is a brilliant man. All the announcers have to dumb things down for the general public who don't understand over-steer versus under-steer.
