“I got stuck behind Monteiro for 20 laps” he said. “I was significantly quicker, but I wasn’t quick enough in the right spots. I made a couple of attempts, but I wasn’t going to risk taking myself out of the race.
“I was getting pretty pissed off. They told me I was 17 seconds behind (Bourdais). I was getting ready to launch the chrome horn at him. A couple of times I got real close to his back wheels, I thought, ‘I’m just going to let off the brake and hit him and move him out of the way.’ But then I thought, ‘I better not do that, I don’t want to end up getting a penalty.’
“It crossed my mind a couple of times that I need to move this guy out of the way because I’m not going to get by him. Then the next lap, he locked his brakes, ran wide, and I got by him. Then I ran away from him like crazy.”
I smell a championship.
