It was a fantastic race
First race for me in 70 Silverstone layout, so I spent the qualif to remember the right gears for every corner. 3rd position on the grid, with a little mistake in the 3rd sector.
After a great start with the Alfa, I immediately understood that was impossible to keep the position aginast their beasts, but I stupidly tried to pull the braking at the 3rd corner, and the result was a spin.
Restarted last, I gained some position in a couple of laps, and than I started the chase to QS, Navin and Tony. After I passed Qs, I had the chance to pull the braking in that damned corner in the attempt to overtake Tony, but my car spun again in the black hole hidden on the inside line of the 3rd corner.
Never give up! The chase started again! This time QS has fought tooth and nail, but at the 2nd corner he pricked the grass on the inside, and his car lost speed sliding on the 4 wheels. I lifted up the throttle but I couldn't avoid the contact in any way, and I decided to go on. I believed I had no chance to do anything else, but I was a bit disappointed when I saw your car spun.
I catched again Tony and Navin, fighting for the 3rd place, after Syd's disconnection. I was a lot faster in the corners, I could brake later, and the duel with Navin was terribly fun
. Meantime Tony was watching the duel creating a small gap between us. At the penultimate lap I passed Navin, and came back again on Tony. At the last corner, I pulled the braking, taking the inside line, passing Tony in the only narrow I had to put the nose of my car side by side with him. I checked the replay, and I assure you I stayed with all the 4 wheels on the tarmac Tony, side by side with a distance of probably less than 10 cm. Watching it again, I can't believe it yet
I will remember this manouvre with the name of "Alonso", instead of "Vettel"
Grats to Hristo and Oly... unlucky Syd
Thanks everybody for the fun, and specially to Tony, Qs and Navin for the great duels! What a race
