My finest moments are often the one's where I do nothing at all
Great drive Gary. Untouchable.
I was a little surprised to be ahead of Paul on the grid as I expected the DP to be some way off the Rad pace, but a PB was good for 2nd. This put me in a position where I had no choice but to try and push and build a gap to negate any time I would lose during the pitstops. It was going reasonably well, Gary had cleared off and I had around 4 seconds on Paul, not enough, but something to work with. As he said, I cunningly mucked up the hairpin
and the gap was gone. What followed was about 6 quite poor laps with another silly off at the fast chicane at which point I immediately decided to pit. Made a hash of the entry and clobbered the wall, fortunately no damage. Was surprised to come out behind Ian and contemplated sitting there and waiting for him to pit although I soon fathomed that he might have already stopped and I better try and regain the place the hard way.
A near disaster with about 2 laps remaining gave me a brown trouser moment and after nursing the car over the final laps I was relieved when the chequered flag dropped. 2nd was far beyond my expectations, but I'm well aware there was a certain amount of luck involved, especially with some notable absencees and Paul's unfortunate demise. Spose it makes up for Silverstone.
Anyway, thanks to those who made it and finished, grats again to Gary and Ian. Looking forward to Spa already.
