Q: Wanted to do 2 laps, but the second one started very bad and there was no point continueing it. First lap was allright for the first 2 sectors and had an epic 3rd sector to complete a clearly above average qualy lap for me
Big thanks for Peter for letting me past in the middle of my timed lap
I closed in on you on this lap much more and earlier then expected.
R: Start + first stint was very good, exactly what I could do with this fuel-load and with a free road behind a lighter Reik
On my pitstop I made my only big mistake of the race: Already had a rather slow pit-entry but even worse I did stop too early and did not reach my box and stood there for 2 seconds until I realized I wasn't in the box -.-
I came out exactly between Sean and David and simply tried to not ever give David a good chance to overtake, but I almost lost it after a short while when I had a small slide after the very tight right-turn (the one where Reik went straight later on). Every small slide was a very bad idea on this track.
The rest of the race I simply tried to be close to Sean in case something happens. Overtaking was not something that would ever happen here in a normal way though, not without some sort of scorched earth-style divebomb manouver.
At one point I actually tried it, where Sean had his small slide-moment, but thank god I eased out early enough before we would have collided hard.
-> q: 2nd / r: 2nd
Finally a finish here on this track after my disconnect last year and thanks to all for racing and also to the setups that were provided.
See you all next time
