That’s a big moment for him, for any national driver, and I think that he’s got the royal family here, coming to see him just before he steps into the car. He’s got so much expectation. You have to feel that and I think it must be a huge relief for him when he leaves the circuit tonight that he’s ticked that box.”

There’s a black cloud coming, there’s a lot of drivers that would have buckled under the pressure. And he didn’t. And then again, having emerged from the pits behind a lot of cars, having to come through the paddock the way he did. There’s a lot of drivers that would have buckled under that pressure and he kept his head, and he was phenomenal.”
