Hi there... Here I am, in Germany... Second season from seven, Virgin, TC on, ABS on, Fuel Sim off, Tyre Sim on, Legend AI. Yes, I know... TC and ABS on?! I'm on keyboard and... You know. Ok... So, the race in Germany.
Somehow I've managed to get P 13 in Qualy, on dry circuit. In the race day was hard raining, so we started on WET tyres. Race is 30%. With some luck (I would say allot of luck), in the 3rd lap I go from P10 straight to P1, thanks to Vettel who spin in the hairpin and block a bunch of guys from behind. I've managed to sneak through them and here we go... P1! For 7 laps I stay in front, defending myself like a mad man. For me, in a Virgin car and driving with keyboard, to build a gap it's almost impossible. But after 10 laps I'm still first. In the 10th lap my devoted engineer announced me that the rain it's stops and I should get the Intermediate tyres. I've refused to go in the pits and I've continued my race. From the lap 14 I've started to loose allot of grip because the circuit gets dryer and my job gets more difficult. In the lap 15 my engineer tells me that I should put dry tyres, especially as the others drivers have done it already. So... In the 16th lap i get into the pits, put the Option tyres, and start the battle. But... Suddenly I realize that the gap between me and Button, who is second, it's about 12 seconds. For one second I've believed it's a joke. But after that I've figured out what happened... All drivers have passed twice through pits, for Intermediate and Option tyres.
I've finished 1st, thanks to my strategy, and now I'm at 50 points from Weber, the WDC leader. Somehow I'm excited.
