Most everyone else was on average, the worst thing that could happen was a Safety Car on lap 16 or 17, and it happened on lap 16. Getting two more points is very good and the car was phenomenal again, it’s a joy to drive. We had some luck in the end with the Virtual, but if it had been a safety car everyone would have been close and with the new tires we would have scored even heavier points again. The team did a fantastic job and we recovered from a difficult situation on Friday, so I’m happy. “.
