As for my race, qualifying was satisfying, think I did a pb, but as expected lost 1st place at the start to the Lotus of Gasper and then it was just impossible to pass him. At this moment it looked as Lorenzo was in the best possible position - in the BRM, just about keeping up with us and not having to do any pitstops. That became irrelevant when Gasper decided to let me through, I wonder if he thought I'm still driving for Soggies, thus letting a fellow teammate by.
Thanks anyway, after that I managed to pull away and after Lorenzo retired there wasn't much to worry about except engine failure or something. Did my 7 secs stop on the pit window limit at the start of lap 18, but as I mentioned Gasper went by so we had another battle, which ended up in a great side by side duel around the hairpin, though I suspect he eased off again.
Grats to all finishers!
Awww, thought we're still teammates. Wouldn't let you go past for sure, if I knew it then. The second time you passed me I made a mistake and then uphill I didn't want to risk a crash between us. It's been an okay race (was a bit slow, and some mistakes, but nothing major), I did my stop I think with 17 laps to go (that's 2nd pit window 26 - 9), and looking at pribluda it would have been tight with evilclive, but I think I could race him for p2.
Ah well, not used to pitstops, I'll sort it out till next race.
