I've never been comfortable around here and the front heavy Aston was always going to be tricky so i was just planning on taking it steady and just get to the finish. I still wasnt happy with the setup, got the backend sorted so i wasnt spinning the tyres everywhere but the front still eluded me. A qually lap only a half sec quicker than normal showed it was going to be tough and i was going to go with softs for the race as i'd struggled with tyre temps but sensibly i changed my mind and stuck meds on but upped the pressures a bit to help.
I knew early on in the race it wouldnt be easy for Blunder to pass me starting behind,and i was just trying to keep it steady and it would be enough. Sadly not. With Blunder running no more than a sec but more like a couple of tenths for the majority of the race i stayed ahead but it as the tyres were going off i was struggling to stop and turn-in and finally i ran a bit wide on to the back straight but clearly Blunder had a much better exit and managed to get along side as the righthander approached and I had to conceed. This though just threw me off my rythm and it took a few laps to calm down while He had scampered away by a few secs.
Then was shocked to find Gazza behind me and with a lap or two to go i was getting excited that i could hold position but sadly i went off again let him through.
Oh well, looking forward to Donny now. Hope the porker handles Oschersleben a bit better
