F1Time - S21 - Race15 - Sepang, Malaysia

With 3 more races to go, Robertas had a 13 point lead over Eld. 13 is considered unlucky in most parts of the world. And it certainly proved so for Robertas today. He is in slight financial crisis (he again failed to sign a CD and that mite trouble him for the remaining races if he wants to remain on top of DC standings) and so he selected an aggresive strategy today for POLE. Though the In-Outs in Malaysia is relatively low when compared to other tracks, the less or no chances of overtaking provided the managers with 2 options. One was with 4-5 Stops with Soft tyres and the other one, a 2 stopper with Medium tyres. Robertas chose the first option while Eld went with the later. Robertas put in the initial fuel a little too less and that put him on the tail of Yih after the first pits. Yih also was on 2 stops and in no mood to move over for Robertas to have a go at Eld. This delay inturn caused Robertas to be behind Eld after the fourth stop and again Robertas failed to overtake. The delays proved very costly and Robertas could only manage 4th. Eld got the win again followed by Yih. Nuno came in third position and moved his tally to 60 points.
It was racing time again for the A-Squared team in c2g1. We went in with 2 different strategies to minimise our risk. While Arunis selected 4 stops with his Softs, i went in for a conservative 2 Meds. Arunis got the POLE and that was a good sign for the team. I was only 3rd on the grid, but made a good start to surge into the lead. A damn spin in Lap4 pushed me down to 9th place. Christian again looked in solid form as he led the pack after Arunis' pit. But luck wasnt in his side as he had an Engine Explosion soon. His teammie Stefan also was running for points finish when his engine also let him down. Nezam chose the wrong strategy when he tried 3 Softs. The wear due to that helped us as i managed to win another race. Lanca was second but was a serious threat to my first place. Rogerio, Gago and Arunis took the next 3 positions. Nezam and Teammie Xtra came 6th and 7th. That put our team in the TC Lead for the first time. Now we are hoping to stay there.
