Sry for that slow driving on the line in the last mins of the qualy pre Eau Rouge. I spun on the outta curb of the first corner, waited (ferito live tracker) until there is a gab (10-15 seconds) to turn around and go on. But then nevertheless two cars -I never expected- appeared (speed difference) I had to let through. Which I did, but at that point it was too late to change the driving line (to the left) for a better line to slow down and let through. I concentrated on another car behind me to let it pass or not pass as I was going on after the spin, which was only coming out of the box it seems. That was the reason, which 'confused' me and cost some extra time preventing to go on more quickly from there.
However..
, wasn't a big deal I hope (didn't cost an important qualy position I hope).
Also sry for touching Dennis at the back in the braking zone to the chicane (first laps). When it's very crowded the performance get's a little worse making the speed sensation and handling feel a bit 'glued' ("zäh"
), so you can't judge 100% exact your own speed in detail. That contributed to this as well, I just wanted to describe.. .
About the race: Could have been easier by not dropping back to ~20th pos. at the start
. Some car was still standing on the grid after the start and I had to move away into the right wall to avoid crashing into the car. So my car was damaged at the front+rear+right side already previous the very first corner of the race, but thanks to 20% damage server side it probably wasn't that much of an issue.
Very exciting though (the race).., each time when I practice and push/squeeze (for some '100%' perfect / ok hotlaps)
too much in the practice sessions pre the qualy and race, I then get a little too nervous in times in the real race
.
As in Round5 already, I used the soft tires in each stint. In Round1-4 I used medium tires all the way through in every stint. Just for some general info.
The first stint (22 laps on soft) was a bit long (grip at lowest possible level, tires being at 0%), but I practiced that. So it was ok. Beside two cars from behind being quicker than me on that tire state and I had to let them pass / go.
