1976 F1 Season - Round 3 USA Long Beach REPORTS
#26
On my side i was no stop strategy. My start was clean enough and I avoided the big crash, I quickly found myself stuck behind David who was driving very well without making a mistake. He had much better acceleration than me, so I was not able to take the suction early enough to overtake him, I even made a spin behind him. After more than 20 laps, I finally managed to pass by forcing a little passage, but after I did not have a good pace, I used my tires a lot behind him.

I had the idea to finish 3rd when I jump to first place after a crash and a pitstop in front with Gorka 4 seconds behind me. I thought I could win but I jumped a concrete curb and Gorka catch me instantly and avertake me shortly after that incident, and quickly take a small lead. In the last rounds Gorka slowed down a lot and I pushed hard to finish at 1.8 seconds.

Of course I could have regrets and say that I could have won by having the free track at the start of the race or without my spin or my mistake, but the reality is Gorka made a solid and fast race without mistake and he deserved a lot more than me the win. Bravo.

Congratulations to all and see you next time.
