Didin't have a good first sector in qually, but a purple second sector. Unfortunatly, there was a spun car in the last part which cost me a few tenths and possibly pole, but with hindsight, that wouldn't have mattered anyway.
Top 3 all had the same start, which for me was a lot better than last week. Maikel and Felix both ran a bit wide at Cimini, so I was able to take Maikel's spot. Felix created a bit of a gap, but the laps afterwards I was slowly closing down when all of a sudden his car slowed down and he pulled off to the right. I can't remember seeing the smoke, so at the time I had no idea what happened.
At that point Maikel was 2 seconds behind me, but he was faster, so it would have been interesting, if I didn't have a full oversteer moment in Semaforo. Lost the lead and Maikel was around 2 second ahead and still lapping a bit faster. I was barely holding on untill the last few laps when his gearbox almost gave up the ghost. Which made the finish look at lot closer than it felt for me, as I never felt I had the chance once I lost the lead.
Off to Riverside, where I have a strong suspicion I won't be faster this time
