Started on Primes in 10th near the back again, went straight down to 11th, infront of kimi, Linden went off, thought i was gonna hit him but managed to get around him, then i was like 10th again and thought best i could get was 4th, decided to race my own race and not focus on others too much, got up to 7th then overtook all them and got to 4th, the saw Owen lying on the side of the road and got passed him when he had a broken wing.
I started catching Matt and he was on Options baring in mind i was on Primes i was about to overtake him then he dived into the pits, Juan pitted next lap (lap 12) I went into the lead, Tyres started to go off around lap 18 so Juan started catching me quickly, I knew i wasnt going to be able to win the race against the speed of Juan so when he caught me i didnt fight with him, just let him get past.
Pitted on lap 21, Martin did with me aswell, rejoined in 2nd, and i was all settled for 2nd, nothing went wrong for the next 12 laps apart from a few slides which scared me. Came off the pace big time and Martin was catching me, he ran out of fuel on the last lap so i was safe, and i was never going to let him pass me anyway.
Had the qualifying i wanted, start near the back is how i like it, as i have done all season, came through the pack as usual, but still confused as to why im so slow in qualy and so fast in the race.
Well done on the win Juan, well done on 3rd Martin, unlucky Linden, Owen and Oli, getting ready for Monaco now...
Got my first pole of the year. Had an average start, thought I had the line through T1 but Juan stormed down the inside and tapped me a little. Had a good opening 2 laps but span into the wall and lost my front wing. Came out 10th but had cold primes so got passed by Alex. Then Adam came out of the pits but lost it in turn 2 and I went into him and got a penalty. Came out behinf the McLaren's, Alex lost connection so was up to eighth. Pitted again and was racing Aturo for sixth, but couldn't get past him because of my seventh gear. Barrie Span so I went for the inside at T5, but span him and got a penalty. Overall possibly worst race ever lol. Congrats to Juan, Orlando and Martin, good races all of you and decent points Mart. This championship is on. Over and out

Well, Here I go... Got 3rd on the grid, since I messed up my second try on options as I was up on Owen's time. My start, I thought it wasn't good, but Linden and Owen had also average starts, so I didn't use all of my KERS in case I needed to defend from 4th or attack the 2 infront of me. Reaching the first corner, I saw Linden going all the way to the inside to defend it, and Owen was all the way in the outside, which surprised me, but I didn't want to move to his inside to early so he wouldn't see me going there and blocking me. So reaching the braking point I saw he was still outside and nobody was on my side so I moved fast to the middle of Owen and Linden and hit the brakes a bit to late to my taste, but I managed to pass Linden and was a bit infront of Owen as I went a bit wide. Owen says I tapped him a bit, but I didn't feel anything, so I'm glad he didn't loose control of the car and didn't loose position to Linden because of that. After that, I had him on my back for a lap and the started to pull away.
I thought my tires were going to get destroyed to soon after pushing so hard to stay away from Owen DRS'ing me. But they held until lap 12, as I had scheduled and was able to pull a healthy advantage over the ones behind, as Owen and Linden starte to fall back and got overtaken by some people.
Before my pitstop I saw Orlando was in second, and as usually, I feared he would have good race pace and catch me, and I didn't know he was on primes, so I pulled away from him about 7 or 8 tenths a lap and by the time I got out of the pits, I was only 7 seconds behind him. The first 2 laps on prime I couldn't keep up with him and lost 2 seconds. But as they heated up, I starte closing 1 second a lap and by lap 20 I was up his ass. He didn't put any fight, which surprised me, but the next lap I saw him pulling into the pits. So I pushed again like hell, because I knew he was going to come out on options, and me with 9 lap-old primes, and he on fresh options he was going to close probably 1 second or 2 a lap (I thought). But then I saw he keep falling behind, which was a surprise for me. So I concentrated in doing the "Vettel", trying to get fastest lap after fastest lap. I did it once, but then all the guys on options postest really fast laps and I saw I couldn't take those times, so I just started to take care of my car and make sure I didn't run out of fuel or crash with backmarkers.
I'm happy Arturo was able to score a 5th (his best result so far this season) and hopefully I can survive in Monaco to score some points and stop Owen from running away with the tittle again XD
