Too many incidents again...
Qualifying lap checked, no cuts
TS: 601.50
What: Nicolas was chasing me at the opening laps of the race. We had really different style of driving T1, 2 and 3. He seemed to emphasize entering speed into these corners, whereas I emphasized exiting speed at T3. This lead to us always being really close to each other at the apex of T3, before I would build up a larger gap when exiting T3. On lap 6 this developed into an incident just before apex of T3. I spun and lost 2 positions in the race.
How to avoid: The driver behind has better view on these situations and needs to take responsibility (as Nicolas has done).
TS: 1712.85
What: Tim was chasing me for P1 along Esplanade Drive and seemed he was not going to try overtaking me at the braking since he was around 40 metres behind. In the middle of the braking he changed line and tried to overtake, but being too far back he hit the side of my car. It is noteworthy that at the turning point of the corner Tim´s nose was still around 4 meters behind any part of my car. I did not suffer any damage nor did I lose any positions in the race, and neither did Tim (I think).
How to avoid: There was a misjudgement from Tim here. I was on worn tyres with light fuel load, and Tim was on fresh tyres and medium load of fuel (I think). This caused him to be quite a lot quicker than I at that point, but that does not justify desperate attempt. He apologized and we´re ok.
Conclusion: This type of incidents (bump from behind style of incident) keep accumulating for me too much lately. Is there something in my driving style or racing behavior that is to blame for this? I want to complete my races without incidents and I rarely cause them, so in my opinion I also deserve to finish most of my races without incidents.
