And even then our Bahrain testing was very, was very compromised as well.

We had some issues and I just went into the first weekend, very unprepared.

Um,

And... Did you feel that?

I did, yeah.

But I just keep telling myself that, like, I'll just deal with it.

You know, it'll be fine.

But I think... We all back ourselves, but there is, you know, with how close, especially last year, it was so close.

Like, if I'm three tenths off max, I'm out in Q1, pretty much.

It's so close.

So it's just like, you know, you had to be, or maybe five tenths, something like that.

It was really, really close season.

So...

difference between the you know top teams you know i remember ibw last year q2 i missed out i think i missed out on going through to q3 but there was like seven cars within a tenth in the midfield it was wild so that made it hard for sure um but it was just preparation that we we we i don't think did a good job at all

But then, you know, maybe I could have done a better job as well.

And then Melbourne was, you know, I had missed P3 with an engine issue, which we had planned to do two soft tyre runs before quali.

So I kind of went into quali with no soft tyre running and then I made mistakes.

And that's where, okay, I was unprepared going in, but I tried to make up for it and locked up, went off, which I never do.

Like it was just stupid mistakes that I never do.

Knocked out and then I'm starting the race at the back.
