Team China
Up to 2nd after the 1st round of stops. That's good for us indeed. Hoping now that Cheng can close the gap to the Swiss driver before the 2nd round of stops gets underway.

And Argentina got past!
2nd round of pitstops starts with Switzerland, and a few others
Monaco now leads, but has to stop

..and a few others
Canada looks like they rejoined just behind Portugal

South Korea is in the provisional lead of the race once again
Just as I say that he dives to the pits
Along with Portugal

The split times confirm that Germany has indeed closed the gap down

You seemed to have liked it last round when the South Africa livery was complimented. Well, it does look nice
Back to the action, Germany is getting close to Switzerland again

Intense !

Team China
Pretty happy with 4th, although it could've been a podium finish had Cheng not gone backwards after the first stop. The team have managed to sort out some of the problems that has caused Cheng to struggle in the recent rounds, and for me, that is a good sign.
And congratulations Tobias Kederer and Team Germany on a fantastic victory. This will most certainly make up for the victory that was taken from them in the first round. It's still early on in the season, but I think this round may be the turning point for Germany's championship hopes.

Almost a perfect race for us, brilliant work up front and excellent defense, such a shame that we were robbed of a win so close to the end!

Very happy with third place. It was a very intense race, our pit strategy was near perfection and Graham-Ayrton did a very good job. Congrats to Germany and Switzerland, they were just better today.

Nothing to say. I forget the deadline, so this is the "penalty".
