Bad comeback for me lol
Q: I was quite frustrated not to be able to reach my pb in the beginning. Track felt slippy but probably I was overdriving just slightly. Finally managed to get down to to 51,4 but had small improvements almost every lap that I managed to ruin somehow in the final corners. With just a few seconds to go I thought pole would be mine after all but Kristijan stole it >
R1: Ok start considering the dirty side, I was just behind Kristijan, but Russel had made a better start than us and was slightly ahead of me on the outside. Then I misjudged how fast we would enter T1. As I was caught in between two drivers I couldn't take the outside line without touching wheels with Russel and caused us both to spin. Sorry about that I was hit by cars coming from behind and left as the very last guy on track with suspension damage. It worsened a few laps later when I tried to overtake a slow guy but had to avoid him and crashed into the wall. Repaired for 2 minutes and somehow managed to finish top 10 anyway.
R2: A really short race. Managed to claim the lead early on, and was followed by Russel. Everything felt good and I was slowly pulling a gap, but after a few laps disaster struck. I went just a little bit wide in the corner before the hill/jump. Somehow, even though I was aware I had to go over the jump straight, and thought I did, I suddenly lost the rear. I was so completely surprised that I had no time to react and crashed into the wall. I gave up the race immidietely because I didn't want to spend ages in the pits again, when championship points are not important to me.
Only positive thing is that the speed is still there. Only thing missing is the consistency. After all I had only done hot laps and no longer stints at all. See you guys sometime in the future.. Maybe next f2 race, I dunno..
