Qualy
-------
Everything went perfect. Did my pb in the first lap in a lap at my limit, so decided to take no more attempts and rest for the race. Enough for pole position by a little margin.
Race
------
Started well but I was too cautious braking for T1 due to being on the unrubbered side of the track. So I lost P1 to David.
I didn't expect driving to be so difficult close behind a car at a similar pace. Braking power was affected, car understeered at corner exit, quite uncomfortable to drive.
during the first lap I hit him braking for the first heavy braking, sorry for that, luckily he saved it.
At lap 13 my tires were suffering after being too much time behind him so I went for an early pitstop trying to overtake him using fresher tires. He pitted in the next lap and he came right ahead of me. "Damn I thought, if hadn't lost those 3-4 seconds going wide the lap before, another 15 laps to go in his tail".
A few laps later at the main straight I was quite close to him. I moved a little to the left to avoid any posible incident on the braking and to get clean air on the braking.... but as part of my car was still behind his turbulence I felt the rear of my car move out of control (assymetric braking behaviour). I went straight to the barriers losing the rear spoilers and damaging suspensions.
Had to drive a full lap to get repairs that lasted 239sec. So I was the last driver to finish the race.

Very nice drive from David, it's not easy holding lap after lap without a mistake having another car pressuring from behind.
Very joyfull race, shame for the result.
