I don't think enough rain to keep the times above the 1:45.000.

Nice one Erwin.
I am very sorry if you find my posts long and boring, I like to type and often go off on a tangent.

Kicking myself for changing my time to a dry one. But it was looking so good up until Q3...

Second straight win - well done @erwin greven!

Off to Monza with atleast six or so names in the championship fight. Didn't fancy myself being a part of it when I was stuck at a measly 7 points up until Monaco.
