Decided to try the softs during qually with 40L of fuel, because I was thinking of using them for the race. I wanted to just drivethe whole 15 minutes in a row and see the wear, but the tyre wear bar was gone
. Not sure if it's an app bug, or tyre wear is off in qually
. But with 4 minutes to go, I was a weird spin in Parabolica, so I went out again with less fuel...and spun again. Had only 1 attempt after that and was able to just get infront of Felix.
Was a bit cautious at the start which gave Maikel a 1 second lead after the first chicane. He then had a bit of a moment in Ascari. I lifted off to slot back behind him, but Maikel was also cautious with the rejoin, so I thought: don't mind if I do. With Maikel's pace, he was behind me in no time. We spend half a lap side by side 2 laps in a row, which also reminded me of the F'3
.
After ge got past for the second time, I made a mistake and the gap became 1,5 seconds. But it seems Maikel's car was allergic to leading and he had that odd spin at Lesmo, gifting me the lead again
.
With Felix between me and Maikel, I was hoping that would give me a bit of a buffer. They seemed to have an epic battle as well
