The Brit posted a story on his Instagram account where he thanked his fans for their support. His story said, "I cannot express the pain you experience, especially on the straight here. In the end, you are just praying for it to end. We are in such a good position still in 3rd and 4th. It is a great result and the team did well with the strategy. Once we fix this bouncing we will be right in the race because we are losing for sure a second just with bouncing."
