from the Long Beach Race
Like
his results in qualifying, Max Wilson's finishing position in
today's race wasn't truly reflective of how well he had run.
He started and finished the race in 21st spot after a pair of on
track incidents prevented him from finishing higher.
"At the beginning of the race the car was good, but later I
was struggling a little bit with down shifting of gears and when I
tried to go from third to second, I did from third to first,"
said the rookie from Brazil. "That's why I went wide on Turn 9
and I hit the tire barrier on lap 19. I was able to pit and my crew
did a superb job replacing the rear wing. We were doing well, trying
to regain positions. Later, with one lap to go, one of my shoe laces
was stuck in the pedals and I slid into the run off on turn 8."
Obviously his shoelaces will not cause such a problem again.
