Between room service and Monaco: Time for introspection.

Even days after the last race in Valencia, I have mixed feelings about it. When reflecting on the moments surrounding the races, there are many good things to remember despite the disappointment. I mean: Whenever we drove out, we drove good times. We were at the top during the qualifying and our pace in the rain was good. We definitively did our homework.
