(word of warning to everyone: avoid restarting in career mode practice sessions using the "restart session" option. However, the race was to be made especially difficult after encountering the dreaded fuel bug, where the team want to underfuel your car to a ridiculous level (in my case they wanted me to complete all 57 laps with 87kgs of fuel.yeah not happening!) Luckily I was able to push my fuel load back up to 102 kgs of fuel, just short of the 105kg limit, but it essentially meant that I had to manage my fuel for the entire race, only able to use standard and lean fuel mixes to get the car home at a track not known for being fuel friendly. Nothing too far out of the ordinary for early in the season then! Our starting positions would also once again see a bump up one place, with another Renault powered car, Hulkenberg, receiving a grid penalty. I was once again ahead of Leclerc by a few tenths, though this time he was able to outqualify Hartley and both Williams drivers. It was my second run that was the good one, having botched up T1 in my first attempt. Qualifying saw me qualify in exactly the same position as Australia, P16, once again missing out on Q2 having held P15 until moments before the end of the session, this time pipped by Vandoorne by a whisker. After that all the sessions went quite smoothly, no crashes into walls or other cars, and was able to extract most of the resource points available. Practice once again started with a fault, this time an oil pressure leak delayed the start of my practice by 10 or so minutes. Rightio, onto Bahrain for the second race of my Sauber career, in what was a much more satisfying weekend without exactly being perfect.
