My few words of anger (fueled by Rammstein's "Du Hast" in the headphones
):
My career is going slowly, at about 1 GP every two weeks (so it's pretty realistic in that matter ;]) - mostly out of lack of time.
Anyway - I'm doing my first season in a Lotus and so far it's going unusually well:
- 7th in Australia (I could be 5th, but I ran out of fuel at the beginning of the last sector of the last lap and two guys caught up with me just meters before the finish line...),
- 3rd in Malaysia (could be 2nd, if it wasn't for a spin in the last corner of the penultimate lap).
So far I've had some bad luck, but overall it's going TOO good for a Lotus - and I'm not even mentioning getting Pole Position in both races... Yyyeah, I think I should crank the difficulty level up a notch
So, time for the Chinese GP. From the practice sessions I learned, that I don't like this track too much, but it's not like I have much of a choice...
Q2 ended surprisingly, with Vettel and Hamilton going out. Q3 and... oh look, I'm on Pole. Seriously, in a Lotus?
Unfortunately I had to start the race with option tyres at 70%, so the default strategy needed to be tweaked - fresh primes on lap 5, then new options at lap 15 and 22. The race starts and I managed to squeeze myself past whoever_that_was in the first corner. Couple of corners later and I'm building a comfortable few-second gap.
So far, so good, right? Well, the bad luck kicks in again - I come to the pits and... the game crashed. Oh, well - it's only been a few laps.
Restart and the first couple of laps are pretty much the same. I come to the pits at lap 5 aaaand... ok, the game didn't crash. I come out 4th on fresh primes and after a few laps I'm 1st again (due to others stopping for tyres). So I'm going, and going... And at lap 15 I'm about 30 seconds in front of Massa, so going for new tyres shouldn't be a problem. I come out, still first, and start pushing (like hell) all over again. At lap 22 once again I had enough of a gap, to come in for the last time and return on the lead. Lap 25, I'm first, 7s in front of Massa, Vettel is further 10s behind. Just three laps to go and I win my first Grand Prix!

Aaaaaand then the game crashed again...
