In his post-race interview, Brad shared that he even surprised himself with the manoeuvring.
“I surprised myself a little bit there, what a start! I got super tight in turn one and just tried to hug the inside,”
“And then just one at a time. I tried to say, ‘OK, if I go to the front and I fight like hell, there’s a good chance I can maybe stay there’. So the plan worked out perfectly.”
