Thursday 26th September 2013: Abu Dhabi - Yas Marina
Yet another race took place with Jim finishing with very satisfying results. The qualification session went pretty good having Jim starting second on prime tyres, whilst the first started on options. He made a perfect start, taking the lead but after a couple of turns the lack of grip of prime tyres made him "give up" the lead. The rest of the race was pretty normal with some battles in which he did not engange at his fullests as he doesn't like the circuit, thus wanting to finish his race as soon as possible with the best outcome Jim could get - in one piece. Finally, he brought his car back in 2nd position losing the win only by 1.3 seconds, a pretty good result given Jim's mood for this circuit.
Thursday 10th October 2013: Japan - Suzuka
One of Jim's favourite circuit. During the qualification session Jim was the only one on the grid wearing prime tyres. He started 2nd losing pole position by 0.025 seconds. The fact that he lost the pole just for a margin was outstanding leaving us with the expectation for a win. However, he clipped our wings, making an AWFUL start, falling in 10th place. His target to win was now harder to get, but he started overtaking other drivers one by one, finding himself leading the race half way the race. However, his strategy did not quite work out and finished 3rd getting another podium.
Well done Jim, expecting more..like a win..!
