Is that a chunk?

Four, that's exactly... A handful.

I think that's a dictionary definition of a chunk.

Some points.

Yeah, some points.

But yeah, he was...

I mean, I think that eighth might have been fortuitous through how the strategy played out in the race because there were a lot of interruptions.

I have to go back and have a look.

Maybe I'm doing him a disservice.

Absolutely.

And there has not, honestly, there has not been that point there.

this season apart from maybe there was one weekend and i think others were paying closer attention than i was i have some numbers here i i did the qualifying gaps for the season he is on average 19th off of pole that's not position that's you know the average gap 12th on the median gap which you know to so to show that there's no huge outlier blowing it out that's just what it's been it's around nine tenths and a bit to pull which is in a spec series isn't great

It just seems to be a mismatch with the Pirelli tyres compared to the general style of driving and car in the Firestones that he used to have in IndyCar.

I do not think it is an indictment on IndyCar.

It's too different.

Seeing it like that, it's a very...

serious fundamental change for him.

We expected that this might go bad.

I think everybody had the feeling at the back of their minds when it was announced that he's doing the full F2 season that it's entirely possible that this series is so specific that it's going to look pretty bad.

And it's not like XF1 guys go into IndyCar and just walk it consistently, including XF1 guys who we recognise as good drivers, like good, solid drivers who have been in F1 for a long time on merit, etc., etc.
