Pre-Race Interview:
1) Do you think we will have as much overtaking action here in Silverstone as we did last week?
2) The first bits of F1 2018 news have been released.  What are your initial thoughts?
3) Fernando said that Monaco is probably the most boring race ever (which is why he must have wanted to do an Indy 500).  Do you generally agree/disagree with his statements?

1) Do you think we will have as much overtaking action here in Silverstone as we did last week?
Absolutely especially in the mid pack to around 10th should be a good battle.

2) The first bits of F1 2018 news have been released. What are your initial thoughts?
I love it and can't wait for it to come out but curious how the view will be with the halos now.

3) Fernando said that Monaco is probably the most boring race ever (which is why he must have wanted to do an Indy 500). Do you generally agree/disagree with his statements? I agree with him because Monaco is a follow the leader race as in Indy your gonna be overtaking back and forth

Q: 3rd

Got a break that the track was drying at the end of the session and only a handful of drivers were prepared for it. Ran a solid lap and it was good for P3 in the end.

R: 3rd

First podium of the season! I didn't realize we had the setup glitch due to Brian rejoining multiple times. Thankfully due to tire strategy I was able to score my first podium in more than 30 races.

My qualification and race came down to messing up the wet strategy.  I did not give myself enough time to get a dry run in quali so that put me a bit down the grid.

When the race started it looked like I was able to get by Aaron and Jrod.  It looked like I should have made the podium or had a good fight with Woody, however I pit a few laps before the weather dried out.  

In hindsight I should have covered off Aaron and Jrod.  It turns out they stayed out and it got Aaron on the Podium.
