So....first of all thanks to all and to radiators for the great race....my apology If I was too "warm" at the end of the race...
Qualify: during qualify I couldn't feel very well the car, I then decided to do a few laps with very low downforce, than as I went back to my high downforce set-up I did largely my PB going up to 2nd place.
Race: in T1 I was comfotably second, then I was hit at the back from my team mate Antonio...just a little touch that was detected just by me, in which I got a little damaged on the suspension (steering wheel not straight for half race!).
In T2 Antonio was outside and we had a second touch, this times detected just from him (see log...)...he got a damaged which forced him to go to box... in my opinion just two race accident; at the end of the race he blamed me for the accidents, which doesn't make sense, as in T1 was not my fault and in T2 he couldn't overtake me at outside...anyway, not a big issue..I'm fine and if race director will decide for some penalitis I will accept them (I hope nothing will be done...)
What is clear is that in T1 people doesn't respect the 5 corners rules...
I did a very good race comfortably in 2nd position, staying as close as possible to Gek. With 3 laps to go my gap from Gek went from 20 to 9 second, so I decided to push as much as I could in case he got some damaged. I went close to Potapenko which was 3 times lapped, and I tried to pass him after T2. He moved to the left to let me pass, but for some reason he kept full throttle and force me to go out of the track to avoid him, then when entering the track, we get in touch....
I think it was a mistake from him, but I would accept his apology, sorry if after the race I strongly balme you (anyway in a polite way, we are gentelmen!!)...
I went to pit to repair the car and Antonio pass me...I was finally 3th. I think it was one of the best race in my netkar carrer, it is not common to be within 10s of gap with Gek after 35 laps of race...Just sad for the accident with Potaenko...
Good race also for Antonio which was really fast and to Gianca/Andrea, really fast here...
Thanks again to all for racing....se you maybe in Silverston (if I will be not in holiday)...
