car chance changeable changes couple days feature however incidents ourselves pick places points problem race safety simply sprint suffer technical tomorrow tricky weather
There's not much you can do when you suffer a technical problem like this, so we will simply have to pick ourselves up tomorrow and make the most of the Sprint Race. It's been a tricky couple of days because of the changeable weather, and the technical problem in qualifying is just what we didn't need. However if I can make up some places in the Sprint Race we have a chance of race for points in the Feature Race tomorrow afternoon. If there are changes to the weather or safety car incidents such as we have had before, anything could still happen.
absolutely great missing remember starting team
I can't remember anything between that and then being in the ambulance but more of it is starting to come back to me. I feel absolutely great in the circumstances and I'm just disappointed for the team and for myself that I'm missing the race.
circuit difficult great racing street
It was great to be racing on a street circuit again, but it was very difficult with the rain.
remember suddenly
All I remember is suddenly I could tell something had happened,
