Coming into Zandvoort, things looked promising. Testing went great and we had strong pace from the start, finishing P4 in practice and running close with the championship contenders.
Qualifying was difficult because the top ten drivers all benefited from slipstream, putting us on the back foot. Despite that, we still managed P15 for Race 1 and P14 for Race 2.
Race 1 was intense from the start. Chaos on lap one dropped us down to P19, but the car felt good and we fought back through the field to P14. The result did not fully show the pace, but the fight was solid.
Race 2 started better. After lap one we were already up to P11, but an unfortunate collision sent us back to P16. I stayed focused and fought back again to finish P11.
Race 3 was hectic from lights out. A tough start cost a few places early, but I recovered and crossed the line P11 before the red flag ended the race early.
Overall, I was happy with the progress. Mentally, it was a strong weekend. I stayed calm through setbacks and kept fighting every lap. We showed pace, control and real improvement.
