That was another great race!
Started from pole after my best lap ever, I've lost the lead after few meters. Seems like Gavino was possessed by Valtteri Bottas at the start
I discharged the soft option, cause the rear left temp was not manageable at all for the entire lenght of the race, and with the medium compound I was on a pace of 1.43.6/1.43.8 yesterday.
Despite I was quite pushing a lot to keep Maikel at a safety distance before the straight, I never managed to put a small gap on him and I could really feel his breathe on my neck
No dinner for Maikel this evening before the race I guess, so he was cooking my Lambo at low flames for about 12 laps, with me sweating like a fountain to keep him behind. Then at the Campsa I did a bad line losing some speed and with Maikel side by side I did my chicken move going slightly long and wide at the Caixa braking.
My race was practically over if he had escaped before the straight, but that was exactly what happened. Maikel flew away lap after lap, gaining even some seconds on Gavino iduring the last laps.
His pace was brilliant and my tyres had a sudden drop of their performance a couple of laps later than Maikel passed me, so it was impossible to do something better than this.
I knew that before or later I had made a mistake and Maikel was simply faster than me during all the race. Very deserved 2nd place for him both in this race and in the championship. A great driver to fight against.
Thanks to all the people who joined this last race.
Grats to that damned fast Sardinian man named Gavino for the championship.
Thanks to Mark and every person who put his time in organizing these races.
See you next week I guees if I won't melt before
