My GP3 Career : 1996 - ????
Posted by Ajayrious
Round Ten: Austria - A1 Ring
Grid
Passed Hakkinen into turn one and pulled out a nice couple of seconds gap, but was unable to pull away any more than that. I made my first of 2 stops and came out behind Michael Schumacher, who I soon realised was on a 1 stopper. Meanwhile Hakkinen retired after hitting a backmarker and Schumacher made his one and only stop. I then span whilst trying to pull out enough of a gap to make my 2nd stop and as a result came out several seconds behind Schumacher and was unable to close him down anymore.

Grid
Having had a miserable Qualifying, I managed to get ahead at La Source and led the race comfortably with Schumacher and Hakkinen behind.
I made my first of two stops and it became apparant that both Schumacher and Mika were one stopping. Still i was very fast on new tyres and able to keep the gap to the lighter Schumacher so that when he came in, I was still in front, and then with him heavy was able to pull away at over a second a lap.
After my 2nd stop i came out about 10 seconds behind MS and put on a charge and was catching him at such a rate that i would catch him with 2 laps to go. Unfortunately with 3 laps to go I suffered another puncture, luckily it happened at the entry to the pit lane and I was able to pit for a new tyre and come out still in 2nd place. Meanwhile Mika had also had to make an unscheduled stop after hitting debris from one of the Tyrrell's.

Round Fourteen: Italy - Monza
Qualifying
Not a circuit I particularly enjoy driving on, as to be fast normally means the car handling like a dog. This session was no exception but through blind luck managed to get my 8th Pole of the Season
Race
At the start i led away whilst Hakkinen fell back and the 2 Ferrari's got intimate with each other culminating in Schumacher and Hakkinen taking each other out (See Video).
Left with a glorious chance at a victory i decided not to push too hard and risk a crash. However Irvine was faster than me and forced me to push harder. I came in for my pitstop 10 laps before Irvine, and on fresh tyres was able to build a 20 second lead, which was needed because after Irvines stop he was over a second quicker than me. For the final 20 laps the race became about managing that gap, and luckily just as Irvine got close it was the final lap and i was able to hold him off for victory, probably the toughest of my career.

That's a shame, but you'll have a lot more reliability issues at BAR

I started my 1999 season about a year ago but i ended up forgetting about it. If you want to see whats happened so far in 1999 then check out [forum.theracingline.net]
Round 10: Germany - Hockenheim
Qualifying:
It started raining just before the start of the Qualifying session. I qualified 9th on the grid after attempting my first lap on dry weather tyres because the pit lane wasn't wet when I went out.
Race:
Got a good start with a bit of bumping with a Benetton and Damon Hill. Then passed DC and the two Stewarts in the 3rd chicane. Raced well in 3rd place for about 10 laps slowly catching Hakkinen who was 2nd. Hakkinen suddenly slowed at the 2nd chicane with what later transpired to be a Suspension failure and I couldn't avoid him, hitting him up the back damaging my front wing.
Pitted for a new front wing and came out behind Irvine who'd had a terrible start. We both passed a few backmarkers and then I passed Irvine into the Clark chicane. Irvine then decided to fight back coming into the stadium section and I turned in on him and was spat out into the gravel and i threw the steering wheel out of the car and stomped off to have a whine at Jean Todt about my idiot team mate.
