I had too much wheelspin at the start, and that dropped me to third and caused me to lose a lot of time behind Felipe. But it was nice to get past him, put some clear air between us, and then start chasing down Lewis. I was never going to challenge him for the win, but it would have been great for the team if we could have finished first and second. But it wasn't to be. I don't entirely know what caused my car to stop - I'm told it was a fuel system problem that we're still investigating. The engine cut out and I had to coast to a stop. These things happen. But, looking for the positives, I want to offer my congratulations to the whole team. We've proven over the past few races that we're very strong in both qualifying trim and race trim. That consistency is really key, and we haven't seen that form from any team all season, so that's very encouraging indeed.
Latest news from me -
Shocked & saddened by the news that a marshal who is there to keep us safe has lost his life during our race today. Rest in peace my friend
