Ugh
terrible race for me!
My qualifying was poor, my first lap was a high 1:16, the second a 1:16.4 then my last lap looked like being a mid 1:15 but I screwed up the chicane at the start of the final sector and had to be content with 5th on the grid.
My start was reasonable but then coming down to Aqua Minereale I believe I was just ahead of Crooky, and when we both turned into the corner he crashed into my side, but he came off far worse, losing a wheel in the process. That's how it looked from my screen. However, wary of the arguments after Malaysia and after everything I said, I waited for him, which relegated me to last position. I eventually made it past him and then past several other cars who had penalties but for the last stint of the race I was catching Ginty but made too many stupid errors and ran out of laps, eventually spinning at Aqua Minerale on the last lap, forcing me to settle for 4th place. Fastest lap was scant consolation as Brawn achieved a 1-2 and Kakundoo gained 4 points on me
I'm just so disappointed I never found my rhythm in this race, I got a couple of penalties and a spin even though I was so certain I wouldn't make any mistakes like that. I was always ultra cautious in the first sector for some reason, I must have been a good 4 tenths slower per lap in that sector than i had been in practice. Maybe I just practiced
too much. I was lucky to get 4th in the end
I noticed Gyles led the whole race until quite near the end. I'm assuming some games were going on there at Brawn, but I understand and I'm not pissed off if that is indeed the case. Fantastic 1-2 for you guys 👍
Zeroduck d/c again, dunno what the reason was, as did Appie.
