But I just had to try..................
Haha That there is gold. ^
Brother, I know the feeling.

Well played, but commiserations.
As you said not unlike JW.

So whilst win it or bin it is admirable, had he dropped his lap speed by 0.5 sec per lap, being 3 secs up with 5 laps to go, he probably would have made it and still won.

Thats what his too conservative engineer wanted him to do. (The same engineer who predicted EXACTLY when we was gunna run out based on his actual lap speed .....)

I reckon the last 20 laps or so was the best television I've ever seen.
