Korean Grand Prix - Race Report

Post below...

Qualifying - 1st
The lap got me pole, I wasn't particularly happy with my lap but I just couldn't find the speed for some reason.

Race - 2nd (Going to keep it short this time. My reports are usually essays )
Got off to a decent start, maintained 1st into the 1st corner. Decided that I was able to run it in Mix 1 in the 2nd sector to save fuel. I was keeping Dark off nicely until my 2nd stop when our strategies changed. I went onto 2 quick stints of Options and then Primes at the end and he decided to do a long Prime & Option run. Ultimately his strategy was the best JUST. He only beat me to the line by 0.089 seconds. If I had one more corner I would have had him. Maybe if I placed my car better I might have had a better chance, but non the less a good tight race all way through. Can't wait too get practising as team mates for India next week .
