Straight after the lights went green I soared off into the distance.

Goal number 1 was to get more than 1 second in from to stop being attacked via the DRS system.

Goal number 2 was to achieve a clean pit stop, this I did at the end of lap 5.

Goal number 3 was to drive to the chequered flag. This is where it went wrong. Having come out of the pits into traffic I followed the car in front too closely at the end of lap 6 and went into the pit lane when he did!

At the chequered flag I'd recovered to third place.

Another 15 points towards the championship.

I was up to 5th in the championship ratings.

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.
