I was down the inside, made contact. I think there was enough room for us both to stay on the track. And he obviously continued.
“It was the right decision, starting on the hards,” he added. “Because it gave us the flexibility to do the one-stop or the two-stop. If you start on the medium after the red flag, you are committed to the two-stop.
