Well it gave me a heck of a fight back out there, just how pleased are you with the way that you were able to
salvage a really good result from where you were starting?
Yeah, it was a tough race. We struggled a little bit with the deck, but the conditions were difficult for everyone.
It was very hot, the track was very slippery and it was really easy to go over the limit of the tyre.
Initially I wanted to go for one stop, but then the team said we're not sure about tyre life, so we better box.
Then obviously the VC came out and I found myself 2 Ferrari right behind and it was not easy to hold on.
So as you head into the summer break, I think you've got a run of 9 podiums in 11 races, it feels like you've driven well at every race weekend.
So what's the mindset heading into the summer?
Yeah, now I need to switch off, really recharge the mind and the body because it's been a very intense first half since pre-season.
So I need rest now and I need to be back stronger because it's going to be a very intense second half.
