The race through OP’s visor

“It was a shame to pick up damage at the start and more throughout the race which ultimately limited the opportunities out there for me.

Although I wanted more, I still managed to come away with some points which is positive and learnt a lot from a tough race in terms of cooling and tyre management.

It was my first visit to Mexico City and another new track for me. We go again in a few days in Brazil.”
