Ron, that was me a lap ahead. Sorry about not passing cleaner on the blue flags but I was struggling for pace and general stability.
After such a good qualifying session my race went pretty badly. I seem to get a bit lost of the first lap, although this time my setup played a part, as did tiredness. I had made a setup specific for qualifying which worked really well, but when I came back to my race setup it felt awful and I was understeering off the track as I couldn't get it turned into the fast righthanders. On the first lap I got dark blue damage to both left corners and that made it even worse. At the mid-race pitstop I repaired the damage, it felt better but I did not have the pace to catch Bryan.
Awful luck, DJ. We were on for an interesting battle.
Congratulations J-P, a well-deserved win and your consistency is paying off massively in the championship.
