Q: crash
R: crash
I don't like driving around on a f'n ice skating rink. I spun
about 10x, broke 2 front wings, I don't know what the hell the
problem was.
Car had absolutely zero grip. I was spinning on high speed
corners, low speed corners, maybe I would've done better driving
around on inters.
After I damaged the wing the 2nd time, was just gonna quit, but
thought I'd stay in it and then spun out at T2 sailed right into
the wall and ended the game.

Q - 1
Didn't really know what a good time round here would be, but my
second hot lap turned out to be good enough for pole. I could
see that stubbs and livo had qualifed on primes though.
R - 2
Got a good start and had a 5 second lead over moss when the
first pitstops started happening, but I lost a lot of that by
staying out one lap longer, which allowed moss to get close
enough to get a tow + DRS down the back straight and pass me for
the lead. I probably could have defended a bit harder, but we
were a long way clear of the pack at this stage, so I thought I
still had a good chance to win.
Then drew crashed, bringing out the safety car and closing up
the pack again. After the restart I spent quite a few laps
behind moss, unable to make a DRS pass because I kept hitting
the rev limiter. Eventually got past when moss made a small
mistake near the end of the lap, pulled out a bit of a lead by
the time I made my 2nd pitstop. Moss stopped on the same lap,
and I think 3rd place Stubbs did as well.
With a few laps to go, I thought moss was starting to gain on
me. Took me a while to realise it was actually stubbs who must
have got past into 2nd without me noticing. He had good pace and
made a slightly laggy DRS overtake with a few laps to go. I had
to manage fuel a bit at that stage, so couldn't stay with him to
try to get back past. Also didn't want to risk a lag accident.
I think if I hadn't stayed out 1 lap longer on the first stint,
or we hadn't had a safety car, or I had managed to get past moss
sooner, I'd have won today. Still, not complaining with 2nd.
Don't like that circuit at all!

Was hoping that I can just tough it out and pray that a SC would
close everything up for me. (Even though I would've suffered
again afterwards). Ironically enough the Safety Car wound up
being caused by me.
