A bad quali means I can go forwards in the race.
Lotus yr 2/7.
Some upgrades have been flowing through the system.
Now have 3 throttle maps, improved brake friction (10%), improved downforce (20%), improved rear downforce (5%). And the Lotus is coming alive.
P2 in Wet Canada and then
Valencia.
Struggled in Quali. (P14). Fantastic first stint pitted (lap 8) for primes from 4th having passed 10 cars on the track and pulled a gap allowing me to rejoin in P7.
4th place again by lap 12 and hunting down Button (from 11 sec gap to 8 sec) at 1 sec per lap.
Moments distraction as I looked at the gap time and damaged front wing eneded that chase.
Able to defend from Webber and finished 4th.
This car is getting faster. May stick with Lotus and go all the way!
