Great day for Brett! Way to bounce back. Sixth and ran pretty damn consistently.

Meanwhile, I trudged around at the back. Beat Dan, at least!

I don't remember anything about this race except for driving around at the back and hunting down Dan and also Carlos having some sort of accident and ending up behind everyone else. I'm not sure if I had an accident or damage or spun or what, but somehow I ended up moving from 13th or so down to last. At least it happened around the predicted time for my pitstop.

Looks like, after that, I was able to run fairly consistent lap times. I wasn't losing much time to anyone, not even the leaders, caught Dan and was catching Russell quickly. That's really my silver lining for the round: even through I threw away a decent result--13h would have been just fine and a huge overachievement for my dog of a Haas, and I don't really expect I could have down it, but maybe 14th or 15th was achievable--I also beat Sainz (my target for season 3) and was about matching Leclerc. Turning heads at Maranello is the key.

Brett, meanwhile, appears to have been running 5th but was demoted a spot due to some corner-cutting penalties or something similar.
