Silverware at Silverstone!

I’m very pleased to have come away from the weekend with a podium for Airwaves BMW. We seem to have only won or not been on the podium this year, so to get a second is good for the team after the bad two meetings we’ve had previously.

To be honest, I’m a little bit disappointed with the weekend as a whole. We showed a lot of pace yesterday and we were P2 in qualifying but we didn’t quite unlock the potential of the car in race one. P6 was good but I think we could have done better.

The BM has a lot of pace but it’s a car that’s so hard to find the ultimate balance and pace. We either find it or we don’t. At Snetterton we didn’t really have it. Knockhill was good but we had all the contact and we were unable to show it. Today, we had mixed weather conditions – we were expecting a nice sunny day so when we went out this morning, we thought we had the car set up from qualifying but it got remarkably cold and we had no grip.
