It's in failure.
If you don't fail, you will not get faster.
You will not get better.
You will not become a greater race car driver if you don't fail.
It's in mistakes where you make the most progress.
And so I even spent a lot of time repeating to myself, being grateful for mistakes or possible mistakes to come.
And that helps to reduce also the fear around them and the suffering from them.
So I remember losing the second world championship, Toulouse 2015.
And then I was sitting in my hotel room, kind of locked myself in my hotel room, horrible suffering, losing again, you know, and I lost it by making a mistake.
So I was leading the race.
I made a mistake.
Which race?
Austin.
And that handed him on a silver platter, the world championship.
I made a mistake, went off the track on my own.
And I said in the media, it was a gust of wind, which it was actually, but you just cannot say that.
No one believes you.
So again, my spontaneous answer was just rubbish.
Should not say that.
Just say, made a mistake and then move on.
