Austria
LITERALLY choked on my quali lap, i had to stop the car for a brief second to breathe and therefore i qualified last (well, ahead of Afonso who couldn't set a Q lap). My race pace wasn't bad; i went off track once while couching which lost me a few seconds. This must have been funny for Mellor who was behind me at the time, i didn't even attempt to turn as i wasn't looking at the screen! Anyhow, apart from that my pace was good but my strategy was all wrong. The soft tyres lasted way longer than i'd expected and this put me on my back foot. Nevertheless 2nd is a decent result!
P.S Has it ever happened that the two guys starting on the back row finished 1st and 2nd?
Monaco
Got pole quite comfortably, 4 tenths faster than anyone else, not sure what happened to you all? Had a fun battle with Prz in the race who had inconsistent pace. 1st stint (both on softs) we were quite even, 2nd stint (both on softs) he was a little faster, 3rd stint (him on softs, me on hards) he was ONLY 2tenths per lap quicker, 4th stint (him on hards, me on softs) was able to take the lead quite easily, due to his poor hard tyre pace and then just nurse the car home to the finish. During the third stint i actually vomitted into a bin i had ready (have been ill all week) but managed to keep the car on track which was lucky TBH!
Anyway, fun races, i think i prefer no collisions but still undecided!

(although i know Alfonso didn't qualify). Off the race start, i couldn't remember what my strategy was meant to be so I started on hards, which proved to be a bad error as everyone else was faster than me and i got knocked off the road several times. After the first pit, i put in way too much fuel which slowed me down quite a lot as i drifted towards the back of he field. Then somehow I lost a lap, don't have a clue how!!?
However in the race (having remembered my strategy 6-5-5-5) i found I had very good pace and struck with Alfonso coming through the field on the first few laps. Unfortunately for me, having moved from my room to the study to get better internet, I was interrupted several times during the race causing me to crash and give up any chance of a podium, hence why I crashed on last lap to give 4th place to Frost.
