You suddenly go 15 kilometers per hour quicker, which means that you get to that next corner in a way that you've never usually get there because you're suddenly 15 kilometers quicker in a race only when you're overtaking someone.
So he's doing the race, getting to that corner, always the same.
And then suddenly he comes up to Bruno Senna, this is in Barcelona, and hits the DRS.
And so his brain failed to remind him that this is a new situation.
He's going to get to the same braking zone that he's come to the last 20 laps with 15 kilometers more speed.
So you have to brake in a much earlier spot.
Because if you brake in the same spot, you're off.
And he braked in the same spot.
So he took out Bruno Senna in front of him and had a massive crash.
Because that was the only little thing that he was worse at, I think, than in his peak career.
And did you see that he was accepting that?
Or that he maybe... He was generally someone... I mean, he's very self-confident.
Yeah.
And also he's built so strongly on just passion for the sport.
He just loved racing and loved the sport.
So I'm sure it caused him mental struggles to be behind me and to be crashing.
But I think he dealt with them very strongly.
And in general still was enjoying the moment and the time largely.
Yeah.
And much more than most others would be able to in that situation because the media was bashing him pretty hard because the media was expecting he's going to come to Mercedes and win the world championship.
