Q: 1st - Very tight qually. Top 4 within a tenth! Managed to do enough to just grab pole from Jacko though I felt I had more pace but it’s a very hard track to get a perfect lap on.
R: 1st - Got a decent launch and covered the inside into T1 and managed to stay ahead. I think Maz and Jacko must’ve battled through the first lap because I had a pretty decent lead by the end of the first lap. 
I was one-stopping so just tried to stay at arms length through the first stint until I pitted for hards on lap 10. Got out ahead of the two-stopping Maz and managed to keep the gap at around 1.5-2secs despite him being on the faster tyre. Once he pitted I pretty much cruised to the end. Very happy with the consistency of the car and the tyre. Was able to lap in the 1.21.7s for the last 5 laps or so.
On to Monaco!

Q: 2nd
What an incredibly qualifying session. 7 hundredths between top 4. Was really annoyed though as I lost 2 or 3 tenths on my delta.

R: 2nd
Made a decent start but dreglar covered me off and Maznat pulled off a fantastic move I had no answer for. Later in the lap he went deep at the hairpin and I shot back ahead, not before getting very sideways at the top of the hill. He was clearly faster but passing is difficult as we all know and I held him off fairly easily. He undercut me, but he fitted mediums so was clearly 2 stopping. I pitted later onto hards as did the eventual winner, dreglar. Maznat came back at me fast on his final set of softs, but my tyres held up well, netting my PB on lap 32. Second place wasn't too bad.
