Le Castellet

Paul Ricard rewards patience. The blue-and-red run-off makes it tempting to push everywhere, but the lap is won through Signes and the double-right at Beausset.

We qualified ninth after a messy final run. In the race the tyres came alive after ten laps, and three clean moves through the chicane brought us up to fourth.

Fourth is not a podium, but the long-run pace was the second fastest of the field. That is the number we took home.
