Fun Event Rnd 6 Malaysia

[1959nikos]

News from the back (it cannot be more back than that).

I was awfull in Malaysia, didnt have much practise, I was overshooting all slow bends, especially this devil uphill left hander at the back.

I was lucky to get this fantastic stable setup Mickael offered (ty fast guy) and I settled in some decent (for me) laps at quali.
I was running SS tyres and I had nice breaking but wondered how much they will last.
Just before race I decided to change to Hards, so I could get away with just one pitstop.
What a mistake!
Imediately when race started I knew I was in big trouble. The Hards are so different in everything.
Different braking points, different grip and I didnt have any at all practise with them, so all race I went to mistake and overshoot after mistake and overshoot.

Race was very interesting though, as I had a continous battle with mr Swire, who even having a much slower car than me (I was passing him like standing at the big straights),
was driving obviously better than me and challenged me all race.
I bet if he had Marussia as well, he would be on top.

At the end of race I was sweating all over, I was getting dizzy of so many laps, quite a test for me this 1 hour race.

btw I managed with just one pitstop.
