Yeah, great pace from Izak at the end to kind of hold off Lando.

Also, again, interesting that, well, of course, Izak started on the hard, needed to pit twice to get back onto a hard to then try and, well, we maybe could have taken it to the end of the race.

Obviously, that late VSC gave us an opportunity to box him again.

But, you know, how often would we... I can't really remember the last time that we've seen a car coming back-to-back laps, but, of course, that safety car period was long enough because that's Recover George...

that Izak could essentially, yeah, just do a full reset and then just go run long, which doesn't happen very often, right?

Especially around such a long lap as well.

And of course, like the worst case would have been for that second pit stop, the safety car to have ended an inopportune moment.

But within the team, will there be someone, you know, during that safety car period, like eyes glued on George's car, seeing how the recovery is going?

Will all the teams have someone whose focus it is to make sure, right, hang on, because we've seen it before where drives have come in and then it's just as a VSC or just as a safety car's ending and it can also catch you out, right?

Yeah, and I guess it's having that high-quality information back at base and on the pit wall, but also knowing what is important and what is actually going to help us in these time-pressured situations.

I think that's something that's, I guess, a real skill in itself, right?

To be able to disseminate all that information and actually package it and then communicate it to the race engineer, GP, who can then communicate to Max or Woody to Isaac, right?

And actually...

That's something I think that this world of data, and we've talked about this before, and whether it's with Oracle or whoever, all of these partners we have, all of these tech partners that give so much information, but also there can be such thing as too much information.

Yeah, and just not living in the benefit of hindsight, which of course we all do.

We get the joy.

Yeah, we get the joy of sitting here and going, oh, well, yeah, that was obvious.

Of course, they should have done that.

Let's not test that out, Red Bull.

Please don't give us a shot on the pit wall.
