Yesterday evening i qualified 7th or 8th and finished 5th in the race. Had a battle with another Mclaren for atleast 15 laps for 4th place. We had an intense but fair fight and was so much fun.
Here you could clearly see the difference in setups. In corners and slower parts of the Barcelona circuit he was faster but on all the straights i could pull enough distance away from him he could not make a move. after 33 minutes i pitted, overshot my crew a bit so it took a little bit more time and rejoined the race behind him. Managed to get back within 1,5 seconds but in the end i was so tired i had to let him go.
1 hour racing with 1 minor mistake......i enjoyed it a lot!
I will never be able to compete with the absolute fastest guys out there, but when it's like yesterdays race i can live with that
