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.

Qualifying 1 - 10 place grid penalty for causing a collision.

Starting from the back (22nd) I decided to go steady and get as far up the field as I could. This plan didn't last long as I managed to get past 4 cars at the first chicane and another 3 on the following lap.

With a smooth pit stop and a car at that chicane most laps I made my way to 6th by the end of lap 9 of the 11 laps.

On lap 10 disaster struck as I was punted off the circuit. More misery followed as I hit a car coming back on and received a 10 second penalty for the privilege.

I crossed the line in 10th however with the penalty this translated as 17th.

My fastest lap of the race was 1.32.510.
