Out of interest I was using the default setup, were the other Lotus drivers in this race running default or modified setups?
Modified quite a bit & different to what I had used previously too. I find the default understeers quite a bit & all those slow corners magnified it, so I softened the front to try to gain grip there & stiffened the rear to try to loosen it on turn in. Also did not run too much rear wing, corners are quite slow here so mechanical grip more important than aero & hoped it would gain a bit of straight line speed on the fast bit.
Usually the Lotus does not like kerbs & can lose the rear quite easily over them, so rear grip is important, but here the kerbs are quite flat so I could get away with loosening the rear somewhat.
Toni mentioned the tyres getting rather hot, yes they did but did not really notice much loss of grip in the later stages.
