Qualifying: 10th I thought i would do a late run to allow my tyres to go further in the race but couldnt string together a decent lap
Race: 5th, at T1 i just saw a big impact but too much debris to see who. Nice and smooth, KERS down to T2 and up into 4th, chasing someone in a merc cant remember the name. He spun at T8/9 and i was lifted into 3rd, best start possible for me. Uneventful really, till Jamie moved into 4th i knew i was in trouble. He caught me in like 3 laps and had DRS 2 laps in a row, 2nd lap he passed me and i was planning to use the switchback and catch him out downhill but i misjudged everything and tapped his right-rear (@jamiefranklinf1 i really am sooo sorry for that) and so i was 3rd again with asanator hunting me, took him a few laps but he passed me with DRS. I tried the switchback but he must’ve known this as all i met with my swerve was his sidepod (sorry if i slowed you) i followed him well till i had a moment at the chicane, then jamie was right behind me so at T8/9 i slowed down to let him through. Was lapping well-ish, then lap 20 into 4th thanks to a pitstop, 21 into 3rd, i meant to pit on lap 22, but missed the pit lane, if it tried to go in i wouldv’e hit the wall and ended my race so i stayed out and the tyres were still pretty good to drive on but i needed the time options gets you. Pitted on lap 23 and into 5th, 30 secs ahead of 6th. Lapped sozavele a few more times (@formula-1 well done for how you were about it, very respectable, and thanks for the compliment :D made my day) anyway, i knew that I just had to stay within range of jamie and this asanator because they were squabbling, taking corners wheel to wheel and it allowed me to catch up to about 10 seconds until asanator had a moment, gap down to 5 secs, but he pulled it out to like 10 secs again cos i had a spin at T11 which lost me 5 seconds. It probably also cost me 4th place. Last 3 laps, cos my tyres were like 2 or 3 laps fresher than asanator’s, i was catching him pretty fast. However, on lap 34 with gap at about 3.5-4 seconds, I locked my brakes at the penultimate corner, and had to let moss lap me at the final turn. A solid race and i enjoyed it, bring on moaco (if there is a free spot) :P
