Sachsenring,Germany Finally, we got 11th place. It was pretty hard, because on Bridgestone's recommendation because of the heat we took hard`compound tyres front and rear, which I hadn't used until now. The front worked okay to the end, but the rear tyre wasn't as good. I got a good start, but I just couldn't push in the early laps, so I lost a lot of positions. After ten laps the chassis balance came better, though the rear was still not working well on the tighter corners. I was also having some weird things with the engine, as though the exhaust valve wasn't working or the fuel was surging. Sometimes it happened a couple of times a lap, and I thought I might stop. Abe was also struggling, I think with his front tyre, and I looked for the chance to overtake him, but unfortunately I couldn't. Anyway, I finished. I'm very sorry for Jeremy, because in the last five laps he obviously had a big problem.
