It's a matter of not about how much faster than the next bloke you can be, just you need to be the fastest. And
00:00:05
that's all I was setting out to do was just be the fastest. >> Scro the other guys haven't managed to
00:00:11
do it. Now Greg Murphy, >> all you're thinking about is each corner, maximizing every component of
00:00:17
piecing that lap together, changing gear, breaking, accelerating, all those pieces, all making them as good as they
00:00:23
can be. It's arriving at the first corner and breaking as late as you possibly feel you can do. It was a
00:00:28
moment that just was pieced together, including being given a really, really good race car that I had a huge amount
00:00:35
of confidence in driving as fast as I could. It was a time that shocked everybody, including me and my team. If
00:00:40
someone had said that to you prior to the shootout that year that someone was going to do that lap time, everyone was
00:00:45
just going, you bonkers. You obviously don't know anything about the sport. Just happened that it was over a second
00:00:49
faster than the next guy, which was a very unusual thing. The fact that it still gets referenced today and it's
00:00:55
still mentioned as a moment in the the history of the sport, it's really special
