Race 1
Start was ok, lost a position which I could regain in lap 1. In lap 3 turn 4 I I took the inside and managed to pass Vidimari and also F Valle who went wide. Valle took P3 away from me few corners later, because I went a little too wide.
Managed to get P3 back by getting a good exit in the last turn and also having DRS on the straight, so it was an easy pass. In lap 8 Daniele Vidimari passed me in T1 on the outside (nice move).
David went past me in the last turn on Lap 9, I overcooked my tires trying to follow Daniele Vidimari too close.
Kyran, who spun out the lap before tried to get past me on the last lap in T9, we were side by side and crashed in T11. I tried to take the corner really tight, but my tires were just not doing it.
Ended in P8 in the end.
Race 2
Started in P8, Nicolas in front of me got away slow managed to pass him and also survive the crash resulting from his slow start and some sandwiching. By T2 I was in P5. Braked slightly early for T4 , which Valerio and Kyran took by chance and passed me left and right.
In T9 4 cars in front of me went wide
and I passed 3 of them on the inside. So by the end of Lap 1 I was in P4. I stuck to Mario Marquez and when he overtook April on the start finish straight on the left side, I passed April on the right and out braked him, P2.
In Lap 13 Mario passed me and I pitted in lap 14. Left the pits in P10, once everyone served his pit stop I was in P5. After trying to catch David, my tires were overheating and Mario went past me in Lap 27. P5 in the end.
Overall this race was very good for me, except for the incident in the last lap in the first race.
It was a nice feeling to be driving behind David and actually catching up to him.
Suzuka here we come.
