Abu Dhabi🇦🇪 debrief Paul edition 🏎️

3rd in F2 standings

Qualified - 3rd (started from the pit-lane due to a penalty after the sprint)
Sprint - 8th (started 7th due to someone having a grid penalty)

Sprint: 3rd but then got disqualified due to a technical infringement
Positions: +4

Positions: +10

Paul moved up to 6th on the opening lap of the Sprint Race. For the next few laps Paul remained in 6th but within DRS range of the car in front. On lap 7 he moved up to 5th then up to 4th on lap 8. The race then settled down for a few laps as Paul chased down Cordeel. By lap 17 Paul had DRS on Cordeel and took 3rd place from him. Once again Paul gave us an overtaking master class. Unfortunately Hitech messed up and Paul got disqualified for a technical infringement.

Paul began the Feature Race from the pit lane as a result of a penalty due to Hitech making an absolute blunder. On the opening lap he moved up to 19th. He moved up to 18th on lap 5. Paul then moved up to 9th on lap 7 due to others pitting. On lap 19 he moved up to 5th but still hadn’t pitted for his mandatory pit stop. By lap 21 he moved up to 4th and was still banking on a Safety Car. On lap 28 he was 1st but still hadn’t pitted for his mandatory pit stop. On lap 29 he finally pitted for his mandatory pit stop and dropped down to 14th. By the end of the race he fought his way up to 11th.

Congratulations on coming 3rd in the F2 championship, now it’s onwards and upwards next year for a new chapter with Alpine💙🥳!!! It’s been an absolute joy to document your F2 season and I wish you all the success in the future💙🥹!!
