It was fun to go hunting for purple sector times at the end of the race and I did some really good laps. For example, I remember my home race at Silverstone, where I pushed to the limit on older tires just before the checkered flag – in front of my home crowd. The extra point added some spice to the last laps of the race and it's really frigid that we did a good job in this area this year. “
