What a race,indeed it was a hard race,one of the hardest i ever participated!
First of all,i want to thank you David Garcia and Xose Estrada for taking care that everything to be ok. The formation lap went very well but i was keeping a gap of around 30m from the car in front of me to avoid any dangerous manuvers.
Now,the race!
I qualified in place 8th and my team mate Michael Brautigam in place 7th.
After first laps i and him managed to go up on 4th and 5th.....but my tyres weren't the good ones as when the session changed i forgot to look and change them again so i was running Hard tires on wet....it was like hell after lap 6 i think....so i started to lose places and made my first pitstop in lap 11 when i was on place 7th i think.
I changed the tyres with Soft ones as outside was getting dry and clear sky,but after only 2 laps of Soft tyres,suddenly started to rain again and my race pace was compromised.When we got at the half of the race i started to lose lots of places and find myself on 14th....i was like on ice,spin after spin....so i decided to pit again...this wasn't in the strategy,but with that tyres didn't had what to do.....i changed the tires with Soft again as,again,outside was getting better,sunny and dry circuit.
But like the last time,after only 1 lap started to rain again.....i struggled again to keep the car on the road untill my last pitstop where i refueled and changed the tyres on WET for this time because outside was dark sky and dump conditions and i tought that on the last 20 minutes of the race will rain again...but after 4-5 laps it proved to be wrong...everything go clear and dry when now i was having WET tires....so a screwd up race
.At least i managed to get my self up to 12 in last laps from 15....
Nice race all of you,clean in general.....but i want to ask something David: Before the last chichanes there is a fast left corner....we were alowed to go outside of the track there?We were alowed to go with all 4 wheels on the exterior of the track for not losing speed? I did that only 2 or 3 times because of a mistake driving or cold tyres...but never cross the kerbs for going fast as i saw at least 3 guys were doing it deliberate
Thank you! PS:My team mate Michael Brautigam crashed on Eau Rouge when he was chasing 2nd place.
