It wasn't a good race day for the RBR team.
Andi couldn't even make it on the grid due to hardware gremlins – a kind of a McLaren-esque situation :-[
In Quali I couldn't match my PB and started in row 4. Race 1 almost ended in T1 when I had some eye-to-eye and more contact with some guys looking into the wrong direction. However, I carried on quite outside of the Top 10, but made it back to P7 after some laps with a bend steering. I was eager to carry on with the damaged car, but – again in T1 – I faced some cars looking into my direction. This time the damage was significant and I spend 220sec in the box. I carried on and collected a few points.
In Race 2 I started from P13. I had a great start and passed a few cars on the straight keeping my car on the edge of the outside line. This time I didn't even made it into T1. I was already collected on the straight while keeping my car straight. Bad luck. This time I went into pits straight away and came out a lap behind the field. I tried to do some clean laps to preserve the tires for more than 30 laps. Finally, I made it back into the Top 10, enjoying some great racing with Dan Minges during the last 10 or so laps.
See you next time! 8)
