Very frustrating event for me today, considering I had praticed quite well and I like the track alot.
Q: Messed up my lap in sector 1 and also going wide on the hairpin. The bad lap was atleast still good for p9 on the grid.
R1: Quite normal start considering my car was slow on the long straight, followed by a very disappointing incident in which I got turned around on the hairpin and lost 5 positions.
From this point on my race for a maybe strong position was pretty much over
Over the course of the race I got held up massively by: Some cars who overtook me after the incident; After my early pitstop: the race-leader who lapped me and was driving on very old tires right in front of me + another one driving on very old tires.
The positive side was, it started to rain on the last +-35 minutes. The negative side about that was, it rained longer that I was hoping for ;(
I stayed on my old slicks throughout the whole rest of the race, hoping that it would stop earlier, after many guys pitted for rain-tires.
p8 in the end, considering all that stuff that added up, that could have been pretty good ;(
-> q: 9th / r: 8th
Congratulations to my teammate who finished much better than his starting position was
I'm hoping for better luck next time, cya guys
