I have a feeling he did not go full gas. God knows why, but he seemed quite relaxed at the interview. Although it took a long time for the UAE guys to get to the podium so he could have brushed off his disappointment
Well, there are several possible explanations, but I watched for like two minutes and also got the feeling he wasn't going full gas.
Could also be the heat... the fact that it was completely flat...
Anything about his numbers / time per km?
