A NEW YEAR STARTS WITH TOUGH FIGHTS!

Today was the first race of the Swiss Rotax Max Championship in Wohlen. I was looking forward to my first race, because it is always a special feeling getting back and starting the new season.

The whole day we raced in dry conditions. I did well in the morning practice and finished 3^rd. My feedback to my mechanic was now even more important because the practice sessions the day before were run in wet conditions. We were very optimistic for the qualifying. My best lap time gave me P4 for the first race.

I made P2 and P3 in the second heat. With that I got the second place on the staring grid for the final. After a bad start I had to fight very hard. After the first lap I was in fifth position. When I tried to pass the driver in front of me we touched and I was thrown back to P8. I gave my best during the last laps and I finally secured P5 and a cup.

I am happy with the results of the weekend and I am looking forward to the next race. I am currently 2^nd in the championship.
