All in all, a great recovery drive from having my wing broken in the first lap. Also huge thanks to my teammate. He practically saved my race with that tow <3
Thats what teammates are for!

also I actually was on Softs (Yellow Tyres) I don't know why it showed otherwise for some people, must've been a visual bug.
Report:
As i hadn't played for like 2 weeks because of a hand injury I had no idea what my pace would be like and surprisingly I managed to get 4th place in quali only 0.4 seconds of the pole time so I was really happy to see my pace was actually pretty good.
In preperation for race starts I had been looking at videos on youtube to see how no-assist users start the race because I always struggle with traction as the red lights go out. This actually massively helped me and gave me an absolute perfect rocket start off the line going to the outside of Millix. Sadly enough the track was getting tighter and had to lift and slot back into 4th as I didn't want to end up in the grass. Then in the second chicane 3rd and 2nd battled and touched so I managed to slip by them into 2nd place and cruised in 2nd place for quite a while.
After that being the stupid person I am I actually LISTENED to Jeff :evil: (screw Jeff!) and pitted too early from medium onto the softs. nontheless I tried to drive as smoothly as possible to see if I could make my tyres run towards the end and with my teammate behind me we were able to tow each other and help both of us save our tyres. unfortunately it wasn't enough for me and my tyres hit 80% in the 25th lap as EstCube passed me going into ascari on fresher tyres and the moment i hit the kerbs my rear tyres just couldn't handle it and i went into a 180 spin into the right side wall.
Luckily I managed to keep my car alive and didn't get a puncture either but to prevent a puncture I decided to pit for a new set of tyres anyway at the end of lap 25. Then coming back out before turn 5 and 6 there was a lone Sauber of who was a lap behind in front of me and didn't want to lift off between turn 5 and 6 to let me past (I don't know why because there was nobody else nearby but i guess he didn't know exactly where would be the best spot to let me past) and cost me at least a second on that lap as I went past chasing for dnxtrage for 7th position. At the end of the last lap on the back straight i managed to get right behind him trying to overtake him going out of the parabolica being side by side literally almost perfectly next to each other over the line but barely not making it into 7th for a 8th place finish.
Overall I am pretty happy because I didn't expect to be contending for points after not having been able to play prior to this race. Too bad though that Jeff hates me and i am stupid enough to fall for his tricks though
Lots of compliments to all the drivers I've raced with. I enjoyed every single battle I had a ton and it seems I hit the Jackpot for possibly the best teammate for the rest of the season.
