So much fun. I love this track and always have good racing here
I threaded my way through the inevitable lap 1 pile ups (although I did have a scrape at the first corner which is going to be moderated...) and ended up something like eighth but smugness set in and I went too wide on the ostkurve, caught some grass, span and hit somebody (Doni I think) sorry.
After that some battles with Albert - I was catching him but managed to spin all by myself
Then Fran and I had a few laps but Fran suddenly disappeared - don't think I did anything untoward but...
Fran, of course, caught me but at the same time as the leaders, I hoped they might drag me back up to him and I found myself with a faceful of Ferrari pipes. Couldn't hold on though. Couldn't believe there were only 6 laps to go.
I was struggling throughout with sky high temps on my left front - all the others were cold... can't seem to get a driveable set up that actually warms the tyres. Odd about the left front because I didn't see that in practice at all.
Any tips on how to balance the set up to save that left front?
Feeling ridiculously pleased not to get lapped by more than the front four... small steps. Got my fastest lap on the last one too.
Enjoyed the race and was glad to see the flag. Race flew by
