I hope it was okay for everybody listening.
I hope it was worthy of the show.
So I was so scared of losing my dream and of messing up and crashing that my foot started shaking, but so violently that it wasn't like a little vibration.
It was a bouncing, which I'll never have again in my life.
Your accelerator foot.
The accelerator foot.
So I'll never have... Because the accelerator, you have to... You're kind of, you know, you're being precise with it.
So when you try and be precise with your hands, you also see a shake coming, you know?
So I'm trying to be... But it was shaking so violently...
I'll never again have that in my whole life.
Yep.
No way.
Then I couldn't accelerate properly anymore because the foot was bouncing.
And so then it obviously is a mental spiral because then your head says, okay, my foot is bouncing so much that I can't drive anymore.
So then the foot just bounces double as much.
so and just luckily I got through this sequence of corners with a bouncing foot Verstappen still staying behind me somehow and then I got to the straight the next part was a straight and so I could push the whole leg through so normally you accelerate with your foot and here I used my whole leg to push it through into the throttle pedal and somehow it then did full throttle so I was driving down like a reset moment driving down the straight like that
And that was enough that by the time I got to the next corner, my foot slightly calmed again, which then your head says, okay, maybe it's not as bad as it looked.
And so I just managed to somehow get my foot into a state where I could drive the car again.
crossing the line first of all there was just relief there was no joy there was no happiness or anything it was just oh my god relief did you expect that or did it feel different to how you thought it would feel
Relief and me saying, that's it, I'm done.
