if, and it's a big if, if you did a good enough job and if certain things go the right way, then it can happen.

So I think that was more the belief and, again, there's a good quote from Nicky Lowder that I saw this morning actually from the Loris Awards where he dedicated his award to the losers and saying that he thought

always learn so much more in losing than in winning which i think is true and it's very very hard to find you know when you you lose a race because of a mistake or because of something you did badly it stares at you in the face pretty obviously but if you've won a race and there was things that didn't go that well

You've got to look a bit harder to go, okay, this still wasn't great.

This wasn't great.

And Miami for me last year was a perfect example where I won the race, but I started fourth.

I went into the race going, there's no way I'm going to win this thing starting from fourth.

A few things went my way.

Our car was incredibly quick in Miami.

And I knew that I'd done a good job of kind of the circumstances I got dealt with in the race and was able to win.

But I knew that if I, like, I could do that once or twice or three times in the year out of 24 races and maybe get away with it.

But I could not win a championship based on weekends like that.

In what respect?

I didn't do a good enough job before that.

Uh, I think in that one specifically, mainly qualifying, you know, qualifying is such a big part of Formula One, um, that in 95% of the races, I would say starting fourth, you're not going to win the race.

Um, especially when you've got a competitive teammate alongside you and, you know, Lando was starting ahead of me.

Um,

There was races last year where I think we both pretty much knew that whoever was leading at the end of the first lap out of us two, it was more than likely going to stay that way.

So that's a really important part.

And I knew that I hadn't done a good job in qualifying and that if I was qualifying fourth every weekend...
