ahead car cars four gap losing maybe moments quite risk safety seconds three time understand victory
I didn't understand some moments of the race, when I was maybe 20 seconds ahead and the gap disappeared after three or four safety cars in 10 laps. But I think the car was perfect. There wasn't any risk of losing victory at any time so I was quite confident.
