We won a really warm and challenging race!
Mercedes was a little faster than us in laptimes but we managed to secure the win with good strategy during a safety car. And then stretching the last stint saving fuel not to have to do one more pit stop.
The tactics was as usual, I was starting the race and did a double stint in 32 degrees! I lost a lot of fluid and it was hard to focus on all the overtaking of slower cars.
Then I changed to Tomas Kostka and he kept chasing the Mercedes with Mucke, Enge and Charouz. After some laps Tomas got a drive through and lost some time. In the end he was charging up in the lead and with only 10 minutes left Milan decided not to drive in order to secure the victory.
So Tomas was fighting really hard not to run out of fuel in the end and we made it.
