My report. I got lucky with the aborted qualifying. Brakes caught me out and i went straight on at St Devote. Second quali lap was average, the track was so slippery, no grip whatsoever. cut the chicane and ended 6th.

Made a half decent start, running 5th, moving to 3rd when 2 others made a mistake. I was held behind bolokov, but he spun at Tabac after 8 or 9 laps. I was running a clear second when the race was red flagged.

Quali was the same again, average lap, slippery, cut chicane. This time 7th out of 8. Made an ok start, up to 5th when someone made a mistake, and then 4th when 1 person touched another at the hairpin. I went round the outside with the help of a nudge, and chased after ferrari mania. He cut a chicane and gave me 2nd (probably didnt need to tbh) and i was running fine before i made a mistake due to messing with my brake balance. Hit the wall at noghes, pitted for a new wing. Then the SC came out, it glitched and i hit it!

Sorry for short message, on phone!

Gav I'm glad you've made the point about the track being slippery, I just thought it was me that was struggling with a lack of grip. Just wondering did anyone else experience that?

When I out braked myself and cut the chicane I was messing around with the brake balance and lost concentration haha that's why I slowed and gave the position to you Gav so I didn't gain an unfair advantage. Still think my 10 second penalty is beyond ridiculous as I didn't actually do anything and cost me 3rd!

I also found it slippery all race almost ,hard going that one for me and unlucky to ferrari _mania for your penalty sounds harsh buddy.

Better qualy than first time around, benefited.

Lost a place of the start, setting times identical to a couple of driver's making it too hard to over-take. Pitted 7 times throughout the race and finishing 2nd was a good result for me as Monoco is my worst track. Some good little battles, vital over-take on the last lap too, was a fun race.

I wonder if Liam found the track that slippery? I'd love to know his secret/setup/method, because I couldn't match his early pace mid race, and I was playing dare with the barriers myself. Really pushing.

Also an idea on the quali, should we turn parc ferme on, meaning we have to stick with quali set up?

It was harsh! stupid Codemasters really messed up with the penalty system but that's no secret haha. Stewards looked into it and can't overturn it, but I respect the decision. Congratulations for the 3rd place though

I would love to know if Liam found it slippery. After the SC I fell 52 seconds behind him within 6/7 laps and I was pushing like crazy!
