Aaaaaaaand, We're back!
AMR's Jack Elleker leads, with a healthy 5 second lead on lap 9
But no sooner are we signing the praises of Elleker, and he is off the track!
He slams the barriers at Lesmo 2
Transmission failure sending the AMR off track...

End result, out of the race for Pedersen....
Meanwhile, a bit of calm in the midfield, with 5-7th spread out....
Alpha's Tobi Kederer having a solid run, but he will want more today...
Fellow Alpha driver Sean O'Neill back in 9th, hot on the tail of Luke Russell...
And in 10th, Sakata has a pack of cars within striking distance behind him...
A great look at the Lego blocks on the side of the Christel livery....
With all the craziness of the first half of the race, a full look at the standings, with signs of pit stops to come...
Pit stops underway in a busy Pit Lane....

Fantastic result for Warrington in bringing home the victory, though I must admit the early stages of the race was a bit intense considering that the pace in the car had dropped off a bit from how it was in qualifying. It would've been interesting to see if Warrington had the pace to pass Elleker ontrack so in a way we are a bit disappointed to not see them battle it out for the win.
Not too sure what happened to De Bruyker in the first lap prior to his race ending mistake at Parabolica seeing that he dropped down the order from 13th on the grid. Just have to hope that the next round will turn out better for him as he won't have much of a chance in defending his title being down in the midfield all the time.

DMR post race debrief...
Whislt we walk away from Monza happy to have had Charrel up on the podium, it was a real shame to see Rodrigo suffer an engine failure. The team apologises to Rodrigo for that...
The equipment was always going to be tested with the amount of boost we had on the cars this weekend, so the failure wasn't a total shock - the odds were 50/50 in reality. One lap pace was good for most our drivers over the weekend, which was very pleasing.
On to Zolder in Belgium, where it is all a bit of an unknown. Fingers crossed we can get both cars to the finish next round, to get our season back on track.

I’ll take that. I still rate the boost system at all but it seems this time that the random lottery paid off somewhat. A great drive from both our cars. Like up to 3rd in the Championship as well.

Well that was disappointing... Pleased for my teammate, but should have been a double podium
This game gotta be kidding me, everytime my drivers retire when they are in a good position
Great result after a somewhat disappointing qualifying. Happy to bring home some points for the third straight time!
Not a bad weekend all-around for Alpha, hopefully Zolder will bring more of that
