First problem encountered was that it was raining. I was gutted. I'd had no running in the wet on this circuit so my race confidence was at an all time low.
When the lights turned green I hit the front and attempted to build up a lead. By then end of lap 3 I'd only a 0.5 second lead over Alonso.
On lap 4 disaster struck as I spun off the circuit. I got going again having lost just a few places.
I tried hard in the remaining laps to catch up but this however this caused to make more mistakes. I hit the wall 2 more times before finishing in a lowly 11th position.
My fastest lap of the race was 1.57.033.
Zero points towards the championship scored this weekend..
I was second in the championship ratings with 177 points but now 23 behind.
Williams were still 4th in the Constructors 177 points behind Red Bull.
