The yellow flag disturbance slowly wilted away, and the field had reclined again through the arteries of the circuit. Up ahead, the leaders who were barely disturbed were already several seconds clear, while the center battles continued to ripple unendingly.
Down in the pit lane, Elias Nystrom had finally returned to the circuit after the puncture that struck him at the castle section. The crowd acknowledged the impressive efficiency of Nordvind Racing's crew as they had worked quickly to send him back as fast as possible.
But the damage had already been done. The lost time dropped him several positions down the order. And with the momentum the race carried, Nordvind supporters questioned if it was irreversible.
"...Elias Nystrom finally limps out of the pits, but his afternoon is certainly ruined. He's falling right into the clutches of the backmarkers now, and his points finish has basically gone up in smoke…"
P15– Elias Nystrom←
Matteo Bianchi was on the same payroll.
