this was kinda schrödingers race for me.
it was superb and bad at the same time. the first 9 laps were strictly intense: i had a surprisingly good start, gaining 7 (!) spots in the first lap (i think the first corner as well) and saw myself on P6 behind Simon and Luca. i tried to attack Simon immediatly, but he defended well and since then i just couldnt get anywhere near him anymore. we all had a stable gap to each other of about 0,5-1 seconds and went on like that for the next laps.
I didnt really feel comfortable in my car even tho i had little to no issues in practice the other day. (i really should stop only showing up for a quick qualify run but warm up properly in the pre-quali practice session)... anyways, as i had to push very hard to keep up with luca and simon i made a mistake into the Hairpin, spinning my car around and loosing 2-3 spots. But due to the little donut i had to make, my rear tyres were super hot which led to another 2 spins, making me lose over 40 seconds in just one lap.. gg Denis. gg
i then saw myself at the very back of the field and tried to make up for as many positions as possible. I had Chris (i believe it was) in front of me, had the better pace but as it was very hard to overtake at this track i was kinda stuck. So i tried to force an overtake in the second last corner as i tried to squeeze through on the inside. I dont think it was a divebomb but looking at the replay i wasnt as much on his side as i thought i would be in the race. Anyways, could have probably left more space but it was my fault nevertheless....
i also want to apologize for not waiting for you, chris.. normally i do that when i know i made a mistake, but in the race i thought you turned into me.
after watching the replay i know i should have at least waited for you,
sorryanyways, fun circuit for these cars, but very demanding for sure.
lets see what silverstone brings us
i love this series, did i mention that already?
