Yeah, that was back in 2018. I didn't know if I was going to have a real chance. I was not a professional back then. I was racing all over the world, but it was tough to get a real contract for years. didn't think or I didn't know if I was going to have a career. So we were like, you know what, let's do something together with my wife. So we opened a coffee shop.

We ran it for two years and then we moved to America as soon as I moved to IndyCar. So we sold it. It was fun. We learned a lot. And I'm glad that

Oh, yeah, absolutely. It was great. Like, honestly, it was on this little town in Spain called Girona. It's like an hour away from Barcelona, a lovely town. And yeah, it was going really well. Then COVID hit us. We were still doing great. But yeah, I think it would have been a good business.

Absolutely not. Like my goal back then was to hopefully one day be part of IndyCar. When I say be part, it's just like have a contract of like one year and be able to make all the races and have fun and hopefully get a win or something. But yeah, it was not what we have today. This is a wild dream that I'm living on. And yeah, it's insane.

Well, it was the first time we had the hybrids at the Speedway. It just added a little bit of weight, a little bit of stress to the tires. Then the conditions were not amazing. It was super cold. I think it was the coldest Indy 500 we had in the past 10 or 15 years. So it was tough to get the tires into temperature. It was easy to make mistakes. And at the same time,

The field is so close that you need to go super aggressive nowadays since Lab 1 just to try and move yourself up front and have a chance at the end to fight for the win. It was tough to get into a rhythm with so many yellows at the beginning, but I'm glad everything worked out for us.

Um, no, no, no, never, never until today. Never. Um, Connor did. I know some drivers did, but, um, yeah, I was close. Actually. I was close. We had the rain delay, um, uh, at the beginning of the race, we're sitting in the car for like 35 minutes. Um, there was nothing going on.
