Very happy about my second place - and now I know why it was relatively easy to beat André (I hope you will be back in old strength soon, buddy!!)
It was my second time on this track and I started to like it after pitstop - befor I almost hated it -to slippy, no possibility to overtake, etc.. my thinking. Now I almost like it
As I am an old guy I had to start it easy, had a bad start and saw André passing easy. Ok, don´t worry, stay focused, find your rhythm -my plan. After a few laps I found it, could follow André and Robert and found hope: maybe attack a little bit?
Which resulted, after a tiny mistake of André, in P2. I even was surprised that he didn´t fight harder -now I know.
Then I even closed up to Robert, thought that he could have a tyre/heat-problem with his heavy ship and got excited by thinking of overtaking a worldchamp
All this -hard work, old man is sweating like an icebear, but fully motivated and concentrated, also Cooper-setup working like a charm. Then, one lap ahead of pitstopping a big tear of sweat dropped right in my left eye just before the hairpin after the SF-line. Blind on my left eye, went wide, twisted in the gras and saw André pulling away. Ok, don´t give up my thinking..
After pitstop I found my pace, could again overtake André (again without conterfight) and bring home P2.
Thank you all for whatching your mirrors -a real plessure to drive with you all!
Super consistancy Robert, as always! Well done. I catch you next time
Hopefully I can beat you again André -very awaiting some fights. Thank you for driving with big overview!
Gratulations to all finishers!
CU soon!
