After our first official race of the season in Bahrain, we saw Penny take the win. Well done to everyone else who took part and managed to grab some points! Was great to see you all there taking part in some fun and clean racing. This week we head to Spain, where the chances of rain could cause some real upsets. As always, please let me know if you cannot make this race. Otherwise, I will see you in Barcelona! Here are some questions for you to reply with before we go into this race (almost like a drivers press conference I guess!) 
1. How do you feel your first race in XDGL went?
2. Do you like the Spanish circuit and how do you expect to perform here?
3. In real life Forumla One, did you enjoy Bottas taking his first ever win in Russia or would you have rather Vettel took the win?
4. Do you think Red Bull can start challenging Mercedes or Ferrari later this year, like they did in 2016? |

1. How do you feel your first race in XDGL went?
P1, so I'd say it went pretty well! It was a tough battle between me & Lego but it felt great to come out on top.
2. Do you like the Spanish circuit and how do you expect to perform here?
Just had a league race at Spain so feeling pretty confident.
3. In real life Forumla One, did you enjoy Bottas taking his first ever win in Russia or would you have rather Vettel took the win? The race itself was probably the most boring race I've ever seen. Very happy for Bottas though.
4. Do you think Red Bull can start challenging Mercedes or Ferrari later this year, like they did in 2016?
Maybe, but not anytime soon.

1. How do you feel your first race in XDGL went?
It was my first league race ever, even my first experience in multiplayer in F1 so... I am in need of a lot of practice wich I've been doing.
2. Do you like the Spanish circuit and how do you expect to perform here?
I've grown to like it. I aim for points
3. In real life Forumla One, did you enjoy Bottas taking his first ever win in Russia or would you have rather Vettel took the win?
Yes, happy to see it's wasn't Hamilton or Vettel as was expected.
4. Do you think Red Bull can start challenging Mercedes or Ferrari later this year, like they did in 2016?
I hope so! I'm eager to see the new car they'll bring to Spain next weekend!

1. How do you feel your first race in XDGL went?
Hmm, not great but not bad at the same time. I went from my first ever pole to last in the first lap, was gutted. My car didn't want to shift into first off the line and I had two collisions (which I possibly could have avoided) plus I skidded randomly into the barrier at one point as well  But having said that, I enjoyed some great battling with Stifler1980! Was great to see our drivers having some good old clean racing! To finish inside the points in the end was a bonus for my mishaps in the race. 2. Do you like the Spanish circuit and how do you expect to perform here?
I do like the Spanish circuit, I enjoy racing there in other racing games too (like Assetto Corsa) so I would say I am familiar with the track, I would be pleased if I could finish inside the top 5. Getting my first ever league racing podium is still my dream! 3. In real life Forumla One, did you enjoy Bottas taking his first ever win in Russia or would you have rather Vettel took the win?
Honestly, I was gutted Vettel couldn't win at Russia. Having said that, it's really nice to see Bottas winning as I think people were doubting his ability in the first few races. I'm still hopeful that Ferrari can take the championship! 4. Do you think Red Bull can start challenging Mercedes or Ferrari later this year, like they did in 2016?A lot of the experts thought this new era of aero focused rules would have seen Red Bull shine, they really haven't. I'm really hoping they can come back, but I think we may have to wait a season or so before they challenge for wins again I really like Red Bull (their drivers are my favourite on the grid to be honest) so I would love to see them winning again one day.

1. How do you feel your first race in XDGL went?
I thought I could've done a bit more in qualifying but I had great race pace and ended up just a few tenths of 3rd. Really enjoyed it!
2. Do you like the Spanish circuit and how do you expect to perform here?
It's not my best or my worst. I don't know what to expect but I have practiced a little bit. Let's wait and see.
3. In real life Forumla One, did you enjoy Bottas taking his first ever win in Russia or would you have rather Vettel took the win?
Bottas did very well, managed to finish ahead of both Ferraris while Hamilton just didn't have the pace. Wouldn't mind a Vettel win but the Bottas win made the constructors battle more intense.
4. Do you think Red Bull can start challenging Mercedes or Ferrari later this year, like they did in 2016?
Maybe. They have a new B-Spec car coming to Spain this weekend that's supposed to be 1.3 seconds faster. Probably an overstatement but having 3 teams fighting for the win, would be great.
