He didn’t give me much space, it was close! I thought Seb would get me at the end of the final stint but I was able to do it. We came out so close together which was super tight into Turn 1. I was able to manage my tyres in the first stint and keep relatively close, then it was tricky to keep up on the Medium tyre and then after the second stop. He was so fast out in front and it was such a push to keep in touch with him and not let him pull away. I lost out on the start and had to watch Sebastian fly by. To have a close battle like that with a four-time champion is awesome. This is what the sport needs to be like every single weekend. This is what made me get into racing in the first place. It was the rawest fight that I can remember having in a long-time. It’s been a really good weekend and a great way to bounce back from Russia.
