So yeah, I think we had a good system to keep things friendly.

I mean, there was a few tough moments.

I think... I guess the pressure in some ways from different angles.

You know, when you're ahead in the championship...

you're doing something right, that's why you have the lead, but you're also the one being hunted.

And you're trying to maintain that advantage so you can only look behind in some ways.

So it's difficult to not do that.

But then when you're behind, of course, you've got the mentality of being the hunter, but you've also got the gap to close.

You've got to close it.

And I think just the kind of dynamics of that a little bit maybe was a bit of an eye-opener.

It was obviously a very long season.

So which is more natural for you, to be the hunter or the hunted?

I think the hunted.

I've always enjoyed being in that position because, again, I've said it a few times, generally that means you're doing something right or something better than the people you're racing against.

And I guess there's that confidence of, you know, generally you're probably in that position because you've won races or...

you know, been on the podium a lot or things like that.

You know, if it's chopping and changing every single race, then yeah, if you're the hunted by two points, then it's a bit different if it's by 30.

But

for me, that's always been a nice position because you've got a little bit of buffer and you've, you've got, you've got the races and the results to back up that position normally.

Um, so I think that was probably the biggest thing.
