Ben’s thoughts:
An interesting start to the season at Silverstone on Saturday, still learning the new car and pushing the limits for the first time!
Every session we’ve learned more each time about myself and the car. Race 1 was super chaotic and managed to secure P5, disappointingly the red flag prevented me challenging for the podium ending the race early.
Race 2 was steady, some good pace kept me in the fight for the top 4 although unable to make much progress in the race despite feeling quicker than the few cars in front.
Race 1: P10-P5
Race 2: P5-P6
