If I will continue like this, next message will be like:"Merry Christmas! This is my Suzuka race report"
Q1: good laps (11:19), I just can't do better than 12th.
Race: avarage start (33:00). I'm side by side with Filosa with very little room, then I have to give up to avoid Falcon; van Loggerenberg overtakes me at T2, I overtake him at T3 for 11th. In the same lap I gain a position from Winter (34:00); I lose it some laps later after a poor exit, with Brezinsky (41:46) that overtakes me with a little contact. When I do my first pit stop I jump Kore for 10 place, "avoiding" Hernandez (48:22). Lap 18 is a bit unlucky for me; I don't like to use this word, but I'm between Kweekel and Partington (from 1:01:21) when we share the same pit slot. I lose 3 places and I rejoin track 13th after Sadler. I gain a place overtaking Valkeejarvi (1:03:50), and then I try to do my best without doing mistakes. Kore overtakes me after Winter-Sadler crash, but little by little I climb the field and I finish 6th, resisting from Ivanov. After the race, the "dark side" of me reveals
and I decide to protest Kweekel for cuts; I'm 4th after post race checks.
4th is a very good result considering that I started 12th, I wasn't so fast, and I even shared a pit slot. Thanks to my team
and to FSR staff
. Congratulations to the winner
