Round 2 - Suzuka Circuit
Was pessimistic ahead of this race. Had to look at my greyhound (dog) for inspiration on setup and sacrificed a race setup for quali.
Quali - 4th
Started off doing some setup prep and found a good one. Was ousted out by my team mate once again in quali but was close on time compared to the Force India of Moody.
Race 4th
Things started quite well at the start. Jumped Moody at the first phase of the start and he had more traction at the second. Was quite cautious going into turn 1 because i had the inside but needed to not dive in to avoid a collision. Saw my team mate getting close and personal with the Lotus-Renault and had contact from behind. This meant i lost track position to Moody and Gnh who was fairly racey to say the least. Managed to get past Moody after he had an altercation with a useless incompetent backmarker. Gnh pitted and i carried onto the lap 7 before i boxed. Gnh had track position but closed in on my option tyres whilst he was on primes.
I eventually got ahead. A backmarker hit me and gnh came up to me. I lost 6 seconds there but held on. I pitted for prime tyres on lap 15 and came out in 3rd but retook 2nd after the Force India pitted.
However, on lap 18, i came up behind a backamarker who i had lapped 1918988299128128121829821298 times. He moved over to the pit lane and i had the line and he swiped across me. Obviously, this lost me tonnes of time. Track position and i had to pit for new tyres and a front wing. I came out 5th but finished 4th because of a penalty for Gnh.

Re: Round 2 - Suzuka Circuit
Just made the race as I had only got back from work about 15min before the start.
Quali-
Had an engine blow up down shifted one too many gears (vidoe to follow). Did not quit quali to gain an advatage.
Had one of my flying laps interupted by a car on its in/out lap (vidoe to follow).
Race
Didnt go for 100% at the start as it seemed that some thought i had delibaretly retired from qually to gain some advantage.
Lap one - At turn 4/5 car ahead of me ran wide and I tried to pass as I had the racing line however there was contact. vidoe = https://youtu.be/nGuu8cAprjQ .
Lost connection during the race as I forgot to put the powercable on my laptop and the battery flopped on me.

Good race was Suzuka, shame some incidents stretched everyone out, but the Ferrari was supreme.
