We made a choice with the team this morning by betting on the rain ... It did not come
��
So, we killed our tires from the first ... Our goal is clearly to reach the finish now and to score points for @HMSGOfficial
And puncture for Ingram losing 2 mins. A bad start for MRF cars. Also Stritesky with 3 punctures !!
