I had an awesome race, not so much in terms of results, but the racing with Mj was great. I was fighting with him for most of the race and even managed to overtake him twice i think but he always came back.

I was already about to give up after my stop and go which I got for speeding in the pit lane but luckily MJ had similar problems Smile

I had a lot of problems with tire wear aswell and I had to stop a few laps earlier than planned on both pit stops. In fact before my second pit stop I was driving with softs and I was determined not to come in early but eventually my left rear tire lost all grip and I lost about 10 seconds on 1 lap alone so that didn't work too well Very Happy

At the beginning of the last stint I was so far back behind MJ that I didn't think I had any chance but then I guess he got a drive through or something and I found myself just a few seconds behind him. We were fighting for many laps. MJ's top speed was better than mine so even when i was in his slipstream I couldn't get any closer and at the end of the straights I was hitting the rev limiter. Eventually I got so desperate that I made some really crazy overtaking attempts which all failed Very Happy

I think I hit MJ many times and I have to say that if this was real F1 I would have got penalty for sure Embarassed

Anyway grats to Bruce he simply drove a faultless race and deserved his win.

Great qualy for me...getting pole by over 1 second was a bit of a surprise as i thought others would adapt a 3 stop strategy considering the tyre wear.

Race start was good and i pulled away into the lead with MJ and Aleksi following close by, i pushed to make up a bit of a gap and i got it to around 12 seconds which was just about enough but not a comfortable amount, i made my 1st pit stop and dropped to P3 and pushed again to close the gap down as much as i could....MJ made his 1st pit and that's where i basically won the race as MJ didn't practice his pit stop well enough and got a penalty Razz

,so i just managed the gap and didn't attempt to make the fastest lap as i wasn't going to DNF for that Very Happy

, i'm really happy to have the win...really really happy Very Happy

and looking forward to Spa.
