And we we can get into that um h how that played out. voice-verified

But generally I think over the season there would have been better uh investing that time and effort and money into uh a proper aerodynamic programme rather than active because it it was a technology a few years voice-verified

ahead of its time. voice-verified

It was a bit too early to to give the aerodynamic gains it was capable of producing later on when we had much quicker voice-verified

Reacting uh voice-verified

Yeah, and so that one at Detroit, so I think um he was battling with PK and it was expected to be a a pit stop race and um PK Julie came in and um I think it was the first year Lotus had uh pits to car radio and he was in communication with them and he's saying, I think I think we could get through this without stopping again. voice-verified

And I think I could probably hang on. voice-verified

And that's what he did. voice-verified

He just drove it to the tires for the rest of the race and Pika Diddy stop and yeah, he was obviously he was fast on the new tires as he came back out, but then they blistered before Senners did, you know. voice-verified

So that's it's a combination of Sinners canny driving but also the ha the act of ride looking after the the tires better and he yeah, he he drove to that and he he got a victory from it in a car that, you know, w wasn't the quickest. voice-verified

Yeah and voice-verified

He knows where his future is and this is yeah coming to an end. voice-verified

And it's basically yeah they'd he out he'd outgrown Lotus or you know Lotus had shrunk during the time that he was there really and yeah they couldn't they couldn't afford to run a driver of that calibre and they certainly couldn't afford to run two cars with two top drivers. voice-verified

He could still pull out uh you know, w I mean he was verging on a sensational result at Monza, wasn't he? voice-verified

Again with the um doing trying trying to do the no stop race. voice-verified

Um and just uh yeah, just ran out of tires and ran off onto the grass, didn't he? voice-verified

special, yeah. voice-verified

In your Hansen's car. voice-verified

already he was the absolute darling of Honda, wasn't he? voice-verified

They they they were they just so bought into him and the level of um detail that he brought and they just it absolutely idolized him. voice-verified
