Michael
said ‘It is the dream result at the end of a
superb weekend. We looked good on Friday, struggled
a bit on Saturday morning and then took the front
row and finished one-two. It was a tough race as we
had to manage the brakes and keep an eye on the tyres.
At the first corner, with the tyres and brakes still
cold, I locked up my front wheel, but I could not
come off the brakes and so I had a lot of vibration.
You haad to be very careful to stay on line, because
the track was very slippery off it, which is why I
drove just on or slightly below my limit, always driving
smoothly. I think the organisers have done a superb
job, providing us with a demanding track, excellent
organisation and facilities and a warm welcome. The
podium ceremony? Usually we smell a bit strange but
with this drink, we all seem to smell very nice! ’ |
