Vettel couldn't have messed up the first two laps any worse than I did
I had a very good run on Filip at the backstraight in L1 but decided not to go for it because I thought he was faster than me anyways and I didn't want to risk anything with a full tank. Simon made use of that and overtook me. Baffled by that I made one tiny mistake after the other and so also Jim C Russel overtook me.
I was about 3 seconds behind Filip, Simon and Jim after I got my head together again in L3 and caught up pretty quick which made me regret not overtaking Filip even more. I could have really gained a lot of ground with Filip holding up Simon and Jim with his full tank, damnit.
But that chase for 4th place was exactly what I was hoping for the race to be like. Was a real pleasure racing with you guys.
At about half distance I messed up T1 though and was out of that chase. Recollected myself again after pitting and put in some decent laps but couldn't catch up again.

and good idea reducing the rating limit to 400, it excluded a couple of good guys like Marco Köhler
