How was your race today?
I would say both races went well. I don't think we quite had the overall pace to hold the lead but we were able to drive defensive enough that allowed us to hold P1. Slicing through the field in race 2 was a bit different because of the night conditions, that was good fun, and I think Alsimo probably enjoyed a few laps out in front to showboat a bit.
What was the team's plan coming into today's race?
Plans were thrown out the window after we've spent so much time in an F1 car the last couple of weeks. We had to revert to our CotA setup to get some comfort back into the car, our setup we were working on early on just didn't have the turn in after spending time in the aero-dependant F1's.
What are some things the team are looking at moving forward?
Getting out of a Mercedes.
What was your highlight of the race?
Probably being able to drive defensively enough to hold off both Caderz and Drifter, Chocco Jones is bloody quick in these cars and MERN has shown he's no slouch in that Merc across the year, so being able to keep both of them at bay is a good result for us.
Did you generally like Yas Marina or feel as though a better circuit could be run? If so, which circuit?
I feel like the circuit is good, but perhaps the South Layout would be a better option, it's a smaller pit lane and there's less dicky corners than the Corkscrew Layout. So on the one hand I don't like the layout, but on the other I don't mind the circuit. So I'll be interested to see if it sticks around next year.
What are you looking forward to most about the next race?
Last race of the year, what's not to look forward to? We're leading the teams championship now. At this point it's all to play for and Long Beach is sure to throw up some curve balls. At this stage I think we're in an okay position but we weren't expecting to be fighting for the drivers title 3 rounds ago so we're not thinking championship on a drivers level, maybe if we get a good result in race one compared to the others then we'll start thinking about it but right now the team are focused on good results to maintain our teams championship position.
Do you think you're in a prime position to fight for the drivers title?
Like I just said, we're focusing on the teams title right now.
So you don't think you'll win the drivers title?
That's... not what I said.
So you do think you'll win the drivers title then?
I... *indistinguishable as he walks off shaking his head*
