There were no problems with the pit lane entrance this time as I led every single lap.

You cannot take liberties with the circuit in this game and this was borne out when I was given a 10 second penalty for cutting corners! I was within a couple of seconds of retaining the lead after the penalty was applied but in the end I had to settle for second.

19 points towards the championship cannot be sneered at though.

I was up to 9th in the championship ratings.

There were no problems with cutting corners this time as I remained on pole position¬

I opened up a lead of 1.6 seconds by the end of lap 2 when the team told me that the pit lane was open. I decided to pit at the end of lap 3. That's when my problems started. I missed the pit entrance and ended up on the wrong road. By the time I came out of the pits after changing tyres I was 24 seconds behind the 23rd placed car.

I drove the remaining 9 laps well enough to get back to 12th position.

No World Championship points for me this time.
