“I had a lot of great support here actually which I feel over the years has grown. A big thank you to everyone that’s here and everyone that continued to stick it out with me▨. I had a 🅠really bad start which was unfortunate.
“Not quite🌄 sure what happened. I felt like I lost a bit of power in the second phase. I was surrounded by the Ferraris which was not so easy but then to come back from there is pretty awesome.
“I think ultimately if🅠 I’d got the start I should have got I would have been much closer to those guys.”

“A late move, got up alongside, we ♏were wheel-to-wheel. He was still on the track so I left him space as much as𒈔 I could.”
