00:00 I was throwing up, yeah, by, I don't know, lap 15, 16, for two laps, I think.
00:06 I was doing that and I was like, sorry for swearing, but it's going to be a long one.
00:13 Managed to get out of control, I think, just mentally, try to focus on exactly what I had
00:20 to do, but yeah, I mean, I've never had that in the past.
00:24 I've always been able to do two race distance in the car, that's always what I was training
00:29 for, but today it's just the hot air and how hot the engine is from behind the car.
00:37 I don't think we particularly sealed the cockpit too well, so it must have been like 80 degrees
00:43 inside the car today and yeah, I'm glad that next year we come back in December here.
00:48 Honestly, I fell to a point that in the straight line I was trying to catch some air with my
00:53 hands to try and guide it to the helmet, because the more I was breathing to try and just get
00:59 back better into the corners, the more hot it was in the helmet, it was honestly horrible.
01:04 But yeah, hardest ever four points on my side, but glad that we maximised the result and
01:12 P7 is a very good result for us today.
