This wasn't as easy as the numbers show. The most trouble I had was lapping backmarkers, only becouse they would spin in front of me in the mountain sections. The last one we even had a colision and the guardrail held me from running down the clif.
Phil was as constand driver as ever and made me keep concentration at a high the whole time.
I tried my best to put you under pressure but you drove with precision and consistency. The gap edged up very gradually throughout the race, it didn't change in leaps and bounds so you clearly made no mistakes. Great driving.
I agree the backmarkers made it interesting, especially around Forrest's Elbow. There is no escape there if a car gets stuck in the middle of the track. I saw someone get into trouble and in an effort to avoid them I instinctively slammed on the anchors down "The Dipper" which unsettled the car massively and it nearly ended in tears. Luckily I got away with it.
Overall I was very pleased with my race. I couldn't take the Eagle again and I wanted to save my second outing in the Lotus for the last round, so I had to choose between the Brabham and the Ferrari. I tried them both (offline) and I found the Brabham easier to drive, more torque and hence less gear changes around the twisty mountain section.
Grats to Dulima on a podium place, the first corner on lap 1 was a bit tight. I left my braking as late as I dared because I didn't want to get mobbed by the numerous Eagles and Lotus's around me. I didn't run wide so it was a clean move. Thanks for being fair and not trying to block me.
