Hi all
First off congratulations to the top 4. I was definitely in a different race to you and watched you (briefly) drive off into the distance
.
Starting from 6th I managed to get past Christoph on lap 1 when he had a bit of a slide. There then followed 26.5 laps with my mirrors full of Christoph's car. Never managed to get a gap larger than 1.5 seconds and that was very brief. I pitted 1 lap earlier but normal service was resumed afterwards. Driving defensive lines for nearly an entire race was going well until the final lap. In one of those moments of sheer genius I decided that just because my braking into Stowe on the previous 26 laps had been OK didn't mean I shouldn't brake later ???. Christoph seized his moment and got past me only to suffer the same sort of problem as me. I managed to sneak past in the double right onto the start/ finish straight and finished a huge 0.12 seconds ahead.
Good day for Team SpRindt ;D
Thanks to DJ and Rikard for the "keep someone behind me" practice
