Nothing to report in race one, apart from the large desyncs/lag moments. But I think everyone experienced them. There is one thing I need to flag up from race two though.
As I alluded to in my post-race report, there was a bit of a silly move from someone. Didn't lose too much from it, but I felt it still needed addressing.
I was sizing up the car ahead and aiming to be late on the brakes and make it stick, as I had done before. My move was a calculated risk, the insane mega-lunge on both of us was just not on.
I have a moment through T10 which puts me on the defensive for T11, which allows the car behind a nice DRS assisted slipstream. However he pulls out early and the drag batters his car, meanwhile I'm still in a great tow with DRS. I commit to the lunge into T12, expecting the car behind to fall in behind. He does not. Whether he missed his braking point or tried something too adventurous, who knows. I saw this in my mirrors and instinctively straightened the wheel up to avoid getting T-boned. This does mean I bang into the car ahead and get spun out, annoyingly. Unfortunately contact was inevitable, it was more about cushioning the blow and trying not to get wiped out or wipe out anyone myself.
I forgive you (whoever it was, I forgot
) just make sure you learn from it, then it isn't a mistake.
TL;DR: Don't try to out lunge someone going for a lunge, it will just end badly.
