However, even worse than crashing is crossing the line when you know you could have done better. I could have ridden into fourth place all day long but I’m not racing to even finish on the podium. I’m out there to win grand prix races and that’s what I’m fighting for and that first victory will come.
Corsi rode well to win his second grand prix in succession. He waited at the back in fourth place and then looked very comfortable when he made his way to the front. At the moment he seems to have a really good feeling with the bike which he rides very differently to anybody else which makes him so difficult to follow, which I found out the hard way.
The whole weekend we were struggling to get the setting exactly right and although we made some big steps on Saturday morning I was still having problems with the rear end of the bike in the second qualifying session in the afternoon.
Now onto the haircut... We had such a tough day on Friday I felt a trim that evening would bring us a change of fortune. I’d not had my hair cut since before that first race in Qatar and the time was right. My mechanic convinced me he was a hairdresser and I let him do it. The problem was the number seven and number four settings he had for his razor where not working. All he had was a number one and you have all seen the result.
My Mum has not said anything yet and I think she is still biting her lip.
