Massively disappointed with my race, Looked like it was a win for teidy myself or Uysal at first glance, Then we all had problems....
In the first stint i could go faster than teidy but he was or looked to be lagging very slightly and i saw the contact or looked like it from my view there was contact or something, So i descided to try and not get involved in anything with him during the first phase and i was planning to pit earlier which i did, Emre pitted earlier than me and foht went on to lead.
I saw on my lcd Gosbee clawed his way through to 5th
i thought well done mate!!!... Then i let him use some engine boost to try and catch me up as i knew he would be somewhere near in the closing stages and i would be able to use alot of engine boost to go for the win!
Everything looked like the win was mine after emre had problems and teidy had problems......But i also had porblems of my own.
When i went for my stop i pressed the wrong button entering the pits, I pressed the pit request which cancelled my pit so i ended up doing 81mph through the lazer which gave me a stop go penalty....that was bad enough then my pitstop took 12 seconds to change tyres cuz my pit crew had been cancelled entering pits!Grrr
I finished something like 35 seconds behind martin, Take my stop go in consideration and my stupid 8 secs extra in a stop and we would have had a winning battle on our hands.
Taking nothing away from martins win well deserved of course, but im a little annoyed with myself as im confident i woulda won inlight of the others mistakes if i would of hit the correct button entering the pits.#
I did over 1000 laps for hungary!!! so i had high expectations, What i learnt is...When trying to be a winning challenger you have to be so commited to running laps and laps and laps... and when it all goes wrong like it did for me....It no longer becomes fun.
So im going back to around 200 laps practise before a gp, Ive always had fun fighting through the field and getting faster as the race progresses, Also im not bothered where i end up just so long as i finish, top ten is always the target. That way im never disappointed and always always have fun!!!!
Im testing for spa on friday evening!!! So no more battles with the front guys, I feel sunday and the 4 weeks testing before the gp was a waste of my life and no fun at all! For me its only fun when your winning or challenging for wins!
Onto spa!
Well done andreas well deserved podium kidder
