F1 1979 - Round 9 - Great Britain Reports
#8
For my part the qualification was very exciting, my last lap was very good but I made a mistake in the chicane, no idea if I could have had the pole but bravo DJC I like our battles in qualification.

I started on the side of the race line, so I had a good start by taking the lead but DJC did not let me go. I really pushed hard in the first stint and I think that DJ was a little faster than me, I couldn't run away from it. I had a little trouble taking the last chicane cleanly and I was a bit on the limit, I finally made a little mistake by going too wide on the sides and I thought that DJ would overtake me but unfortunately he spinned when dislodging.

It gave me a few seconds of margins but I had really worn my tires and the car became really oversteer in the big right turn, I thought DJC was going to catch me quickly.

I was able to hold on to my stop, but I came back in full traffic and it took me a little time to pass the cars which had not stopped. I think DJC had more work on this side because I was able to take myself a few seconds longer allowing me to lift my foot a little to preserve my tires and keep me some tire if I had to defend myself against DJC.

After the second stop I think DJC had problems because I was a lot ahead and despite a confusion with a car a lap behind which caused me to hang on with ED, I was able to bring the car back to the arrived as slowly as possible. Sorry for DJC , he had a good race and we had a great battle for victory but I think it was only postponed.

Concerning the championship it is tightening and I feel that battle with ED by the end will be interesting and exciting!

Hope to see you back on track.
