At Silverstone, he crashed his car during a trial run, and had to race in a slightly inferior model usually driven by a teammate. On top of that, his clutch jammed on the fourth lap and he was forced to powershift for the remaining 80. Yet his average speed of 127.25 m.p.h. was nearly 10 m.p.h. faster than the existing...
