Quali - 1 33.4 on primes was a shock to me and put me 3rd on the grid.

Race - Bogged down on the start and the guys behind me got a run, had to go left a bit as the Ferrari braked really early, I over ran the corner slightly but I don't think I made contact with Falcon and then a split second later I was facing the wrong way as I was spun from behind. Upon fighting my way through the field I had to use a lot of fuel and tyres which I knew would ruin me later in the race but I HAD to get past these cars fast. Used an undercut to pass Saif but it was becoming clear I had nothing left in terms of car or pace in order to attack Mattias.

I will upload the two sections of my race which I feel are important; The start and the lynchy incident.

Edit: Appears I did touch falcon at the start which slid me and then my car was touched from behind. Therefore it's my fault I spun at T1

 
I've only ever had a wireless connection and it's never proved a problem before this past two races. Kids and dogs in the house make a temporary wired connection difficult with where everything is situated and to be honest I don't think it would make a difference to this particular issue.

If I'm racing, I'd be happy to host again. Never had a problem with my connection and I've got my old server connection and host back. Proved very usefull in the past. Just throwing it out there for the future (note that I might not always be racing though.)
 
Quali: 8th

Race: 3rd

Selected the wrong wing settings which cost me in the middle sector during the quali and race, but I'll take P3, this is isn't my strongest circuit. The start was good, picked up the positions due to the chaos up front and then managed to stick with the guys at the front until after the pit stops where Mattias and Mikey jumped me with the undercut.

I was quite quick in the middle stint of the race chasing down Mikey while I was on primes to his options but in the final laps I played it safe on strategy and Mikey was able to hold a constant gap he gained from the undercut, Mattias was out of reach today so congratulations to him on the victory.

Mercedes do now lead both championships I think but as I expected it wasn't going to be the walk over certain people predicted it would be by me and Mikey, it's going to be open in both championships till the end.
 
Q: 2nd
Was a fine 33.2, me and matte could however improve a lot, as we were a lot quicker in prac before the race. Still a very great 1-2 for ferrari in qual.

R: 4th
wanted to be carefull into t1, when I discovered that all thr guys down to like 7th were very aggressive into t1. Many crashes happened, and I was soon 12th.. I knew that I was going to struggle, so I decided to undercut people by pitting early.. It worked very well, but I came up behind Jamie who was clean and nice, but we unfortunately lost a lot of time by fighting lol...

I was up to around 8th or something now, when. I decided to pit again, as I discovered that I had pretty massive race pace!! It worked and I was soon upto 4th..

Very great finish, as this is my worst race pace track (i thought) and also after the awful start..

VERY great win for matte, and by leading the WCC, we have shown the scandinavian flag.. And we will only get better from now..
